Poppy Reef ~ a one of a kind!Click on pic for more info.

Poppy Reef is a beautiful beaded necklace on an ivory fiber base. The glass beads include a scallop, a sea star and a large conch shell made from an "odd lot" of glass called poppy. Sometimes when new glass colors are created, they are sold as odd lots and this was a beauty. Unfortunately, it has never been the same. Although still a beautiful color, it has lightened up and is not as rich, so this is by far, a one of a kind piece!

The Las Vegas Glass Expo hosts a "Gallery of Excellence" each year where artists submit their work for view and judging. This year, my Poppy Reef necklace was awarded with the People's Choice award. Very exciting!

Ivory glass bead caps with a wave design were the perfect finish to Poppy Reef. A gorgeous sterling silver moon shell clasp by Green Girl Studios also helped "keep it together"
