These are some photographs that I took of a nautical blue starfish necklace and earrings set that I made recently. I had been to a craft fair and seen a necklace that I think was made with the "bead gallery" circle beads (printed beads) shown in the photos. I found the beads at Michael's Stores. The bead distributor is Halcraft USA (the products are made in China).

"A Trip to Hawaii" - Postcard

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Hawaii."

I started with another white washed background that I had made first. Then I added the text and images. I gave this the appearance of a tourist postcard that has been accidentally postmark cancelled on the wrong side (the front, instead of the back). I also designed this postcard such that it looks "correct" when viewed both vertically (upright) and horizontally (turned on its side).

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.
