RAWlicious Bracelets

I call these bracelets RAWlicious, because they are made out of right angle weave (RAW) stitch.  I also wrote up a 14-page tutorial to make the bracelet yourself.  The pattern/tutorial can be found at my Etsy store.

Crinoid Fossil Stone Necklace

This necklace has a Crinoid Fossil stone cabochon. Crinoids are marine animals that resemble flowers and date back millions of years. The shapes that look like backbone skeletons are the stems, and the disc shapes are individual discs that have separated from the main stem during geological erosion. Millions of years ago these particular fossils formed in a limestone bed, and so they were incorporated as a marble material, rather than forming as individual fossils.

"Flame" - Mexican Crazy Lace Necklace

I don't usually name my pieces, but I'm compelled to name this necklace "Flame".  The orange layer of this Mexican Crazy Lace stone reminds me of fire with flames reaching out to upper layers.  (The straps are peppered with carnelian stone beads.)
