When the wind is high, the whitecaps curl (featuring BeadBuddies)

I made this combo just to feature my brand new, wonderful, incredible pair of BeadBuddies acqua quartzes!

TY dear trolldog, they are so beautiful!





And of course I wear the whitecap ring with it.

You have been busy! Time put to very good use, gorgeous, gorgeous combo, love the Aqua Quartzes, they are stunning with the Dawn and Honey beads, like the use of the Lilac Prism too.

Where's the 'like' button as on facebook?

Oh, ah, oh, ah- I adore your combo! It's beautiful!!

Beautiful love the quartzes, but that ooak next to your Viking ship is Tdf.

Your combo is like looking at the ocean.
It reminds me of the sea in Barbados.
Beautiful combo.

Subtle Snorkish colours! It's lovely.

Stunning! Those quarzes looks so good in your combo.

The bracelet is beautiful, it reminds me of a sunny but not too hot day at the sea - but I have to admit I can't take my eyes off that ring!!

The quartz is such an amazing color. Just like a tropical sea. And the ring is stunning!

That is just fantastic!!!!!

I have to agree

It's beautiful, but I think you need a lighthouse, to guide you home safely!

Considering how the song I quoted goes on after that harmless opening line, I definitely agree. And I also need a Green Glittering Scales, oh, and a Joyful (though not with a joyful connotation, rather as the Maelstrom...).

Oysterband - The Story

When the wind is high, the whitecaps curl
The waters run with an oily swirl
The skipper says, "I love this world
It's the only one we'll see;
If your luck is in, you can see the fish
Though they swim as deep as your deepest wish"
The sound of his voice was feverish
And he gave the wheel to me

Who writes the story? I don't know any more
Maybe nothing's what it seems
Spare me the glory, just get me safe on shore
And I'll only put to sea in my dreams

The sky grew dark and it blew a squall
We saw the weather-glass fall and fall
Then a wave rose up like a mountain wall
We stared up at the sea;
With a mortgaged boat and a stack of debt
Maybe more than your feet get wet
He looked, he shrugged, and he cut the net
He set his fortune free

Who writes the story? I don't know any more
And maybe nothing's what it seems
Spare me the glory, just get me safe on shore
And I'll only put to sea in my dreams

The skipper yelled, "We can haul and bail
We can fight like hell but we always fail"
To the beast with the green and glittering scales
Rolling loose below;
The wave came on and we couldn't hide
We spun half-round and began to slide
Maybe that's when the skipper went over the side
We never saw him go

Love, are you glory? I don't know any more
And maybe nothing's what it seems
Out of the story, just bring me safe to shore
And I'll only put to sea
Who writes the story? I don't know any more
And maybe nothing's what it seems
Spare me the glory, just get me safe on shore
And I'll only put to sea in my dreams

The ship's hull rang with a single crash
We shot to the top like a trumpet blast
Then the sea grew calm as a looking-glass ...
I hid my face and cried

What a lovely song, so very exciting! Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, you could add the jellyfish as a stand in for The Kraken! Or the Nielsen octopus, but that wouldn't look right in your bracelet, although it's nearer to the real thing.

I keep coming back to see what the others, are writing about this wonderful combo.

Love the song too.

Exquisite, totally out of this world!
TD those quartzes are fabulous!

Great combo. The Aqua Quartz are beautiful.

Beautiful - very Snorkmaiden. Thanks for sharing the poem, so evocative. I love the aqua quartzes, on my ever-growing list.

Whitecap, another bead I now need....

Snork, your combo made them so beautiful!!! I don't think I have ever looked at the aqua quartz beads like this before. I had no idea!! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous combo!!! I am chomping at the bit to hurry and be able to once again make some beads!!! I am gone back to look at the combo again!!!

Another beautiful combo, so much thought gone onto it....

Stunning ... as always

What a delicate combination. I like the ring to; is it easy to wear? It seems so big..

What a neat idea for the ring. The Aqua Quartz are a beautiful color.
