Summer beads

I was in the mood for summer when I made these beads:

They have a very "beachy" feel to me, and I love going to the beach.  I just wish it wasn't so far away (at least 7 hours).  Being born and raised in the mountains, the beach environment (the sand, the plants, the ocean) fascinates me.  Someday I hope to be able to visit it more than once a year at most!
