Luau!

When my mom remarried in August, she had a Hawaiian theme. I wanted to make her a jewelry set that really said, "Welcome to Hawaii." While looking for themed parts, I stumbled across the "Pud" flower.

These real flowers have been colored and dipped in epoxy to preserve them. After seeing a lariat made with these flowers, I was inspired to make a short necklace (20") with a clasp in front, green seed beads, and the flowers hanging down to look like they'd been hung by their stems to dry.

I made a necklace and earrings for my mom, and earrings and hair pins for me.

Just like the flowers you see in the Islands.
