Hi Val ... I'm not sure about the cab ... it came in a mixed bag. At a guess I'd say is was a red jasper? The round stones are mookaite (mookite) also a kind of jasper. A stone I love to bits, because of its huge colour range. Ruth

Oh yes!  I like mookite; it's very pretty.  I love jaspers very much.  One of my favorites is chocolate jasper.  Thank you, Ruth.

Hi! Here is mine. I call it, Seaweed - An adventure in knots.

Here i am experimenting, just seeing how friendship bracelet knotting and macrame knotting work together.

blueelephantart, I like your work very much, color is great and Seaweed is a very good name. Your experiment worked out well............I'd ditch the background though........and let the macrame shine by itself a bit more. Donna

Oh, amazing! @blueelephant what fiber are you using in the Seaweed piece? I just purchased C-lon and this looks like a definite way to use it! Your piece is gorgeous!

Very Nice! & to my understanding, S-lon #18 is very similar to the C-lon- Great! Thx for sharing your work! I love seeing what others come up with.

Yup! Though S-Lon is actually a copy of C-Lon. S-Lon is made by another company.

Ooh Ahh session, about to begin!

Here are some of mines, definitely inspired by Ms Annika deGroot. These are early works, but still some of my favorites.

Beautiful! I love both of these Vicky! On the violet with the filigree especially beautiful centerpiece! & the orange one stands out so much with the antique button. I am also a button lover! Well any metal components really- LOL & Stone, glass, even resin & clay... Okay, okay, so I guess I am eclectic but when a piece comes together so beautifully you can't be biased based on materials, lol.
