Lucky seeds from Peru!

Just came back from Machu Picchu (Peru) and just loved this red/orange seed (huayruro). The red and black seeds are said to bring good fortune and abundance, while warding off negative energy. The mixture of black and red on the seeds is also said to bring balance, so I couldn't resist and make something for me, and since I was back home (Brazil) for a week I decided to wish luck to my best friends and give each one of them a lucky pendant :)

Fake beach glass

As I said on the post before, I wanted to try my version of beach glass pebbles. I got a bit carried away and could resist to add some shinny details like some glitter and even some pepper (on the green one).

Lat week I finished my 3 days course to learn how to do jewellery with found objects! Wont denied I was getting stress in the first 2 classes because I had so many projects and I though I would have time to finished any of them, but in the last class everything came along very nicely and here are the results!!
