Prickly pears and pearls

[pattye]

JP, Wonderful inspirational photos, yes, the combinations in nature are so lovely the way you interpret them!

Thanks guys...and BWeaves, you are correct...the sparkle is so hard to capture.

Wow, gorgeous! Like many of us huge pearl fans probably, I took a stab at selling for about five minutes once, then realized I hated it. I just like to be a pearl consumer, not a seller or a crafter lol. But JP your eye for "what works" and creativity are amazing. Love your Etsy shop!

Peacock Tahitians...my favourite! And your inspiration photo is beautiful. The yellow-orange roses with the purple and green cacti. Simply stunning.

hanadama, those are actually flowers ON the cactus! Aren't they amazing? I am in awe of the beauty Mother Nature creates...our job is to appreciate and honor what she has given us.

SeaUrchin, you are too kind...my favorite thing about selling is working with my clients. My least favorite thing is when I make something that I really want to keep.

I love this photo ...It's a tiara!!

Beautiful photos ! And I love Peridot! Goes so well with Tahitians!

Thanks Katbran and SunSeeker.
That cactus with the tiara just blew me away...all I could think about was the Queen and her pearls and tiara. And hanadama, those flowers do look an awful lot like roses...desert roses! They almost look like someone went around and glued flowers to the tops of the prickly pears. Between the blooms and the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice from my brother's trees I'm kicking myself for leaving, I'm surprised my he let us stay as long as we did. And as if that wasn't enough, he also has an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.

 

[SunSeeker]

too funny, JP. I think I'd have a hard time leaving too!

 

[Pearly-Whites]

Me too, so I moved here.

 

[Katbran]

Pizza oven ??? So when are we going back for the next visit??

 

[Pearly-Whites]

A pizza oven is on my bucket list!!!
