Solstice adornment

I had an idea about just simple stones picked up on the beach. I thought it would be a good material for accessories and adornments. I like the way they sound and they are good to touch. I wish I had a possibility to make holes in them but even without holes I still can join them by crocheting around. I made this one during the summer solstice - every single stone represents the Sun, bet the central one symbolyzes the Sun during the solstice.


Process is simple. I crocheted two separate sides and then crocheted them together (making two small loops for joining) with the stone inside.


Joining:


Today I put it on for the first time and I like that it is heavy a bit - such a good strong feeling. :)

  2. I love stones and have never thought about using string to somehow mount them. What a great idea!
