I chose the Republic of Seychelles, known as one of the most beautiful places on earth. This island nation is made up of an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, some 1000 miles east of the African continent and north east of Madagascar. Many of these islands are volcanic in origin and are uninhabited, while others are coral islands. The islands of Seychelles are blessed with gorgeous beaches. The travel site 'Lonely Planet' describes the beaches as "exquisite ribbons of white sand lapped by topaz waters and backed by lush hills and big glacis boulders. And nary a crowd in sight".
I was drawn to this the smallest African state by the bright colors of their flag... look at it... a beader's delight!

What an amazing flag - I find it fascinating to know what the colors and images represent in a flag. Your bracelet is perfect! And your necklace is simply lovely! Thanks for the tour!
Great post - the jasper and turquoise necklace and earrings are gorgeous.Thanks for the tour!
Very nicely done - the necklace is gorgeous.
Never heard of this place but you certainly made me want to learn more. I love that bracelet. What a challenge to use all those colors in one piece. The necklace is so soothing in color and beautiful!
Great pieces. Love the bracelet and the necklace is lovely as well.
Wood jasper and turquoise are a dynamic duo! Lovely!
Lovely work. My husband had the opportunity to visit the Seychelles almost 20 years ago. He said it was a paradise. I think you captured that paradise in a beautiful way~ nice job.
Those are lovely. I like how you connected the pearls in the bracelet. The necklace is gorgeous and so reminds me of a day at the beach. The turquoise goes so well with the muted colors in the jasper.
Thanks for such great pics! Great work and love the jewelry!
This nation looks like a perfect rropical paradise! So glad that you were inspired by the flag. Some day I would love to travel to this part of the world. I guess that I need a passport! ;-) Thanks for traveling with me. Enjoy the day. Erin

Like how the turquoise color punctuates the brown in your necklace!
Sounds like a great place to visit! -And your jewelry is perfect ;)
Regina, I had heard of the Seychelles but didn't realize they were part of the African continent! We have learned so much about our beautiful world this week-end. This nation seems like heaven on earth, doesn't it? I love that the two pieces you created are so different; one vibrant like the flag, the second gently elegant like that wonderful beach-scape. I'll be dreaming of a tropical paradise tonight!
Thanks also for your comment on my blog, Regina!
