I've decided I like resin

Here is my newest necklace in progress. The outside ring is a computer part, the inside rings are aluminum knitting needles who sacrificed their lives for me.


And here is the finished necklace.

Silver
Soy silk (tofu byproduct)

Bamboo

Misnomer?

How was it determined that soysilk, faux cashmere and faux angora are vegetarian or vegan? I don't know anyone that eats wool. In fact, wool is a renewable resource and considered "green". Hmmmmm.

Traveling Woman Shawl

The start to my Traveling Woman shawl. Its being knitted in my handspun, navajo plyed BFL I bought at Canby 2 years ago. I split the colors up and spun each, one at a time, so that I would get a rainbow effect.
