Mermaids and the Dreaded Pink

Late last night I was in my studio frantically finishing a brooch I created for a friend who has been making some life changes. She loves Mermaids, so I made her this "Mermaid Pool" with pearls and a starfish and little sea danglies at the bottom.
The other photo is of a brooch I started last night. I really don't like the color pink that much, but I know many people do, so I thought I should do some pink brooches for Spring. This is the beginning of it. I'll post a finished picture in a day or two. I love the silver leaves. Seems a waste to use them on something pink....
