Our first entry this week comes from
Pearl of
beadinggem. She gives us her sparkling
Clear Cross Pendant. As Pearl said herself, "May the waters of the Gulf be clear again some day soon."
Next up we have
Katie from
BlackStar and her gorgeous
Blue and Green Recycled Glass Necklace. The recycled glass beads remind Katie of the beach glass she finds along the Emerald Coast in Florida.
One of our newest members,
Lana from
Simple Joys Paperie, brings us our next entry: this incredible
1940 Vintage Book Wreath. Made from the upcycled pages of Kathleen Noris's book
Maiden Voyage, this lovely wreath is just perfect for this week's theme.
Our next entry is this lovely
"Dawn Koi Pond" large serving bowl from
Kristin of
loveartworks. Kristin said: "I knew this would be my entry as soon as I saw the title. I wish much Peace and Healing to the waters in the Gulf, (like this serene Koi pond) and Hope that one day they are restored to their former rich and diverse Glory and Abundance!"
Mollie from
Rough Magic Holidays is next with her totally dreamy
Beach Dream necklace. Made with creamy coin pearls, polished winkle shells, peachy red aventurine hearts and sparkly pictures, it's hard to imagine anything
more beachy than this beauty!
Erica of
Mazzy Jewelry Designs gives us our sixth entry this week with her beautiful sterling silver and glass
earrings. Erica's description of them makes me long for a beachy getaway (guess I'll just have to settle for a tropical drink!): "These gorgeous earrings harbor waves of bright yellow and aqua blue cascading through them just like the sun on the water over a tropical island."
Next up is
Malia of
BeadFrenZ. She entered these royal blue freshwater
pearl beads. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Just think of all the pretty pieces you could make with these!
Like all of her designs, this next entry from
Jean of
3squares just
oozes cool. Her
Crab Cakes bracelet is a fitting reminder of the wildlife in the Gulf.
Last but not least, we have this beautiful stunner from Kasia of KasiaBlue. The description of Kasia's gorgeous Ocean Wave necklace says it all: "The call of the ocean lures you to its rhythmic motions as waves lap the sandy shores." Count me in!
This sweet piece from Suz of Polkadot Magpie came a little too late for the vote, but it just had to be included. Suz is donating the proceeds of her Help the Gulf Coast Bird Recycled Copper Pendant to OxFam America and the National Wildlife Federation through helpthegulfgcoast.etsy.com.

Pearl from Beading Gem is first this week with her shimmery Droplet Sterling Silver Elven Earrings. Look at how the light seems to just dance through those turquoise silver foil beads!
Jill from Moonlight Beadworks is next with her pretty little Handmade Brass Tag Branch Leaves Pendant Necklace. I love how she used green patina to make the leaves pop-- and that she photographed it in the rain so that you can see the little raindrops on her tag!
Erica from Mazzy Jewelry Designs is our third entrant with her Dew Drop earrings. The lovely sterling silver and sage green quartz earrings are so pretty-- especially when they catch the light and little hints of green and gray shine through!
Next up we have Rebecca from Knee Deep Originals with her oh-so colorful Grace of Morning Light painting. Can you hear those birds singing? I think I can!
