More fruit!

by Renee Allen


​It's a cold, dreary day in Seattle and I needed to work with some color and think of sunnier days ahead.  We're off to Florida a little later in the spring, so I wanted to make something festive to take for my cousin.  I got these great glass fruit beads last weekend so I broke them out and started to play.  I love the pineapple and palm tree combination.  Do I do a charm bracelet or necklace?  She loves vintage hula girl prints... maybe a pendant in resin with some pineapple and palm tree charms?  Could be swell....
