Wildlife rehabilitators often wrap owls in fabric so they can be weighed, treated, and fed. If not, the owls get in a flap.

Second a gray-white shell with a dark spiral pattern, with small and large clear glass and silvery mirror beads above it.

This shell was such a fun find - it was practically asking to be a necklace. It makes a lovely horizontal bar style but with a curvy edge. The shape of the shell is entirely nature-made! artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

This shell is so perfectly shaped to be a pendant, thanks to the forces of the ocean. I've had the shell for a while, waiting for the right way to show it off, and it all came together with these bronzey beads that complement the shell. artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

These lovely limpet shells have, by forces of nature, become really cool natural frames to hold beads in watery shades of blue representing the beautiful colors of the sea where these shells came from. Perfect for keeping the ocean vibes close 💙 tumbleandtide.com #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

A first look at a batch of beach stones that finished tumbling! These were all found on my beachwalks, hand-picked for what they would (hopefully) look like when tumbled to a polish, which takes months. So fun to get that first look at them as they come out of the barrel! #rocktumbler #rocktumbling

I like finding tarnished, dusty jewelry at thrift shops and repurposing the beads into something new that I can wear. Finished these two bracelets this week 😊 #handmade #jewelry #reuse #recycle

This is a typical beach walk where the beach is covered in so many stones. When I find a special beach stone for a pendant, it is like a needle in a haystack! On this walk I found a few stones that will probably go in the tumbler, but none that are necklace-worthy. Maybe next time!

A shell fragment softened on its edges from its time in the ocean. The shell is milky white with a series of parallel curved grooves across the surface that have a sort of faded bronzey color, all natural to the shell. It is hanging from a silver chain comprised of small oval links.
