The second piece was inspired by the turquoise chips. Turquoise is my favourite stone and I thought I'd use them in a bracelet for myself. Again, using the spiral rope stitch, I included the turquoise chips in the center of the bracelet.

Glass Leaf Pendant Necklace and...
I've gotten over my inspiration block and completed a couple of new pieces. The first one was inspired when I was looking through my supplies. I'd forgotten that I had the glass leaf and when I found it, POOF - inspiration! Taking my cue from the colours in the leaf, I created a princess length spiral rope neck piece in two shades of blue beads and added gold triangle beads to pick up on the gold in the leaf. The leaf pendant can be removed so that the necklace can stand alone.

Inspiration on the Ocean - Revisited
A couple of weeks ago, I posted the photograph. I've been ruminating on it since then.
Today, finally, the last of the beads which were inspired by that photograph, arrived. Here they are, along with a stone I found in a local shop. It's the next project I'm going to start. I don't usually have more than one project on the go at a time, but right now, I have two other pieces in progress. And I have an idea for these beads and can't wait until the other projects are done! You know how it is when you are inspired!
I thought it would be easier to compare if I put the photo here.

Inspiration on the Ocean
This photo was taken today, from a boat on the ocean. We were behind an island I can see from my home so what I saw there was a surprise and a treat. Looking at this shot, what really struck me is the subtle variation in colour. It's monochromatic at first glance but multi-coloured on second inspection, I'm intrigued...and inspired. If it inspires you, I'd love to see what your inspiration produces. I have an idea I'm ruminating on.
Most of this scene would be under water were it a high tide. The low tide has revealed the striations in the rock and the barnacles. In the foreground is the reflection of the rock in the water and the bulb heads of kelp.
