Great job on all of them. jasperfanatic stole the words right out of my mouth- you keep getting better and betterer. I don't have a fav but that aquamarine is sweet. (And, I'm not a big crystal fan.) Looking forward to more. I wasn't a fan, at first, of the organic electroplating, but I'm liking yours more and moreer.  |

That opal ring is badass, MsAli! Love it. Also like how you're incorporating raw crystals into your jewelry. I'll have to go through my stash of faceting rough and cull some of the non-facet grade ones for you to use if you want.

Pshaw. I'm encouraging a budding arteest! 
ETA - The snapdragons are growing. Soon I'll be watching for those seed pods to collect for you.

I am in love with using raw stones with this media. This is a piece of raw aquamarine I've been playing with texture and my dad sent me a ton of phlox seeds. Of course I was to plant them but they became incorporated into some of my pieces instead. Now I'll be looking for other seeds to add.  |

I've never heard of it before- but I like the way it looks! It fits the stone perfectly.  |

Someone in the group I follow used poppy seeds for her texture, so I knew I had a bunch of phlox so decided to see how they would turn out.
My dad might not like that is what I used them for. My mom does this weird mixed art paintings and she is always gluing his flowers and seeds to them and he gets a tad upset about it

I think the pendant is excellent!
Suggestions for seed textures: Bulk seeds from the grocery store (carraway, celery seed, flax, etc.). Also bird seed that you can buy cheap at Wally World.

Thank you! AWESOME ideas Robin! and I have a HUGE jar of flax seeds that I use in my oatmeal.  |

Now you just need to do some earring and you'll have an aqua suite!
