So it's my turn to host AJE's July component of the month design challenge and since we're heading into holiday season I've decided to launch it early to give everyone plenty of time.
I live in the south of England very close to the World Heritage Site Jurassic coast - famous for the incredible fossils that can be found there...

Ammonites are one of my most favorite fossils. I would love to go to England and stay a week wandering about on the beach where they are. I have made shrink earrings from a carved stamp, I have several molds of them, I just love them. Your beads are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Toni alheave@aol.com, https://thehandygirls.net
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie, I can't participate in this challenge because I've too much on my plate right now. But I just had to comment on how much I love these pieces, I grew up loving fossils as well because we had of ledge behind our house that was the edge of an ancient lake. I can't recall finding any ammonites but I did find trilobites, multiple types of coral, and even arrowheads.
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces because you have added the additional texture around the ammonites just like a fossil is found in its natural state.
Thanks Anne - that's very kind of you ...glad you like them :0)
DeleteLesley, these are gorgeous. You have captured a fossil so well. I love how you made the textures and colours different to show the fossil part off. Can't wait to see what everyone makes from them.
