We have a WINNER

And the winner is.................
    The Reef.  NOTHING else ran close....

Since the product is a bracelet, we MAY expand the name to "A Reef Around the Wrist"

Why did I want the BEST name possible?  I'm going to be submitting the bracelet for possible publication in a beading mag.  The better it sounds, I think the better my chances.  I've been published in scientific journals, in women's mags (ghostly wonder who I am), and in books.  I've even edited a few.  But NEVER before have I even tried to get my beading designs published.  So, fingers crossed and wish me luck.

AND COUNTLESS THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR SUGGESTING WONDERFUL NAMES!
We shall see if the winning name gets published as the moniker for this unusual bracelet!!!  Of course you all will be the first to know (well, at least right after my mother and husband are told!)

Oh, and another bracelet in the Under the Sea line -- my sea urchin bracelet -- is being put together as a kit for those of you with an interest in DIY.  Keep an eye out on my website and here on the blog!  I should have it up (with a few different kit colors) later this summer!!

FINAL CHOICES for BRACELET NAME

We're down to 3 names.

Please vote for 1 of them:

    The Reef
    Ascent
    Oceanic Rose

THIS IS THE FINAL VOTE!  THE WINNING NAME WILL BE UNVEILED ON MONDAY, JUNE 25.

HELP ME PICK THE WINNING NAME!

TO DATE, I have the following names for the bracelet.

1. Oceanic Rose

2. Ascent

3. Goddess

4. Sea cucumber
5. Pearl Forest
6. Pearl Nursery
7. Cecil (as in Beanie and Cecil the sea dragon)
8. The Reef
9. Blue Galaxy
10. Sea Anemone on the Waves
11. Sea Urchin Afloat


Please choose one and vote by sending me a comment either on my blog OR on my facebook account. We'll either be able to choose a name or at least narrow down the list based on your vote.  If the latter, we'll have a second round of voting.


Get your votes in by the end of the week (6/22)!  And thanks!!!!!

And another potential name for the bracelet.

One more potential name has been submitted:
Ascent (thanks to Rick)

And, having looked at pictures of sea cucumbers, it DOES resemble one.   Can we consider sea anemone or sea urchin? Whaddya think?

ANY MORE IDEAS?   I'll present a list for voting by the multitudes (LOL!)

Update on naming the bracelet

So far, I've received a few ideas for naming my new bracelet from the "under the sea" collection:

(1) "goddess" (thanks Julie)
(2) Cecil (as in Beanie and Cecil the sea dragon) (thanks Linda)
(3) the reef  (thanks Lisa)
(4) sea cucumber (don't know who send this - but a most unusual name for a piece of jewelry)
(5) blue galaxy (thanks, Geri)

KEEP THEM COMING!!!  Remember it's part of the "under the sea" collection.

Let's name my bracelet

So, at last, I've created a new bracelet.  It uses 11/0 rounds, 8/0 rounds, 15/0s and daggers and I'm in love.  It undulates, it has movement, and even with the same daggers, when I change up the base beads, it looks so very different.
I provide a single picture, since I'm still learning how to use the new camera. When I've got it nailed, it'll be brilliant, but until then, I'm limited in what I shoot and HOW I shoot.  Please forgive some color that isn't quite as bright as it is in reality.....
HELP ME NAME THIS GOODY!  Obviously, it's part of the "Under the Sea" collection....but WHAT is it???
No prize to the winner other than basking in the glow of a title that will be credited both in this blog and on my website.


I think it's a winner item; what do YOU think???
