New rosaries completed

I had all the decades put together on these, was just waiting for new crucifixes and centers.  So here we have:
Banded agate (4mm, orange.  The beads look like creamsicles to me- almost edible!  :)  ):

Red tigereye (8x6mm flattened ovals):

Dyed rhodonite (6x8MM slightly flattened globes):
Striped jasper (dyed, 4mm):

This evening I also just finished a chinese rainbow jasper 6mm one that I was THISCLOSE to keeping myself, that is how much I love the way it turned out!  Finished it too late for decent lighting, so I will have to try to get it photographed tomorrow.

Hawksbill Sea Turtle is done!

 This was the first piece of this type that I have done.  It is 4 layers- a white watercolor paper cut layer for the top, a painted layer directly beneath the turtle, freehand-cut waves from royal blue cardstock, then a final watercolor painting below that.  Whew!  Lots of fun to construct, and I am really happy with how it turned out!
