Laura Timmins’new polymer Ocean Yoko necklace sends us back to the beach with its wavy bicone beads, spiraled shells and starfish strung on cord that she hand twists from embroidery thread.
It’s as if she cast a net and strung up everything she caught.
Yoko is a new addition to Laura’s Swirl Stone line for galleries which, as you might guess, are mostly located on the seashores.
Check out the matching earrings. What inspires you this season?

Of course the beads are fantastic, but the overall piece is also spectacular! Not everyone – including me – has an eye for both.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the subdued colors and how they work together, and the swirly bicone beads are perfect for creating a feeling of motion.
Meisha ,
Uhhh….WOW!!!! Almost speechless.
Laura Timmins ,
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
I have so much fun making these! Even though I am far from the ocean here in Wisconsin, I’m imagining my toes in the sand. My favorite thing to do at the beach is hunt for “treasure”. When my girls were young we would bring stringing supplies and a hand held drill and make crazy necklaces right on the beach and wear them.

Oh, wow! I am lucky enough to have earrings and a bracelet from her first foray into swirls (circa 1998) and last years red, white and blue and the increased intracacy of design is very evident. Love ’em both!
By the way I saw her work in the desert, too. Sedona AZ in the world famous Tlaquepaque shopping village.

I love the addition of starfish. I had not associated the swirl designs in the bicones with water before but this really gives me the feel of the ocean. Beautiful.
Selma ,
So inspiring and wonderful necklace! Now I have enough ideas. This summer will be full of blue beauties thanks to Laura! 😀 I’m glad that I discovered another great artist here on Polymer Clay Daily!
