NATURALLY ZEE - Fitness & Natl Hair Journey

Here is my latest necklace that I made. It features 3 strands of 12 x 8mm Olive wood oval beads with a Congolo seed as a pendant. The Congolo seed measures approximately 2" hgt x 1.5" width. The necklace is very light. The pendant, which is the Congolo seed is also known as a "Sea bean". These sea-beans don't initially come from the sea. Nonetheless, they commonly drift to and into the oceans and wash ashore, so being referred to as "sea-beans". They come from trees and vines that grow along tropical shores and rain forests all over the world.

I work full time at ucla and part-time as a spinning instructor. One job I am sitting on my butt all day and the other I am working out like crazy, so they kind of balance each other out. But neither one allows me to express my creativity. I guess my spinning classes do a little bit because I have to find really good music to play in the class. Anyway, I always need MORE creativity. I can't just do one thing, so it's the jewelry making, it's the sewing, it's the photography, it's the bike riding. Anyway, back to jewelry here are a few more necklaces featuring a Congolo seed pendant. But again, I don't wear them. In fact the blue necklace and the two all wood necklaces have been sold! Cool.
