It just amazes me that you always manage to find something to represent whatever it is you need to make the theme work.<br />I have seen and worked with tiny beads on wedding dresses, so I know the needles have to be really small. I cannot wait to see this one finished as I love the ocean themes!

I've never heard of this creature before.<br />Your beading has captured not only the look of sand with its colours, but also the texture of the sand--it looks wonderfully grainy! I can remember how coarse they felt between my toes, and yet some of the grains would sparkle like tiny bits of glass.
