Gillyweed : Harry Potter Potion Ep. # 7

 

So it's time for Harry Potter again! And this one is Gillyweed. A plant similar to seaweed that will allow a wizard to grow gills, webbing fingers, and toes.

Being the Harry Potter lover that I am, I have to admit I never thought of doing this one, but it was requested several times. So I rummaged through my craft room and came up with this. I am in love with this necklace although it needs to be on a much longer chain. It looks amazing in person, and I'm completely surprised at the result! In person it reminds me of a terrarium/aquarium.

Also, I photographed this right before I took my little sister & cousin to the fair. They saw the necklace and forced me to let them participate, so I let my cousin photograph, and my sister model....i.e. the girl pictured is not me:)
