I particularly love my amethyst necklace, and my huge knuckle-duster crystal ring! When I first saw a druzy necklace on etsy I was keen to buy it but the prices for real druzy can be very expensive! This gorgeous DIY uses blank pendants and painted glass instead, a much much cheaper alternative. If you can’t find glass on the beach, there are some craft stores that sell it. Just be super careful when you smash it up!</p> </blockquote>http://the-inspirationstation.tumblr.com/post/42311725228http://the-inspirationstation.tumblr.com/post/42311725228Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:13:31 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mememziO701qios74o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mememziO701qios74o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://twigandsparrow.tumblr.com/post/37340725838/i-never-say-this-but-o-m-f-g-a-trampoline-road" target="_blank">twigandsparrow</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I never say this but….O.M.F.G!!
