Mermaid's Garden


Artist: Zoya Gutina (Alexandria, VA)
First Place, Glass

"Maybe it was a dream about summer? The bright, golden sun and rich clear-blue sky embraced me with their tender warmth,” Zoya muses on the creation of her lovely seed-bead necklace “Mermaid’s Garden.” By combining a blue color scheme with copper-lined seed beads, Zoya achieved at once the cool touch of the ocean with the warmth of a summer sun! The finishing touches were created with freshwater pearls and aquamarine gemstone chips – perfect for a maritime theme.
