Cottontail Rabbit In A Bush - Filet Crochet Art Handmade by RSS Designs In Fiber





I live in the Antelope Valley - a High Desert Valley in Southern California surrounded by Mountains (South, West and North) and Desert to the East and I have seen Little Wild Brown Rabbits with White Cottontails running around - usually heading for some bush - or down a rabbit-hole.  I think they are so cute!

So I created a Filet Crochet chart with a Rabbit, small desert plant - surrounded by textured leaves - and Crocheted it!

It can be used as:

Soft Rose Quartz Gunmetal Chain Niobium Chandelier Earrings

Soft and precious rose quartz makes "Kayla's Hope" chandelier earrings a reflection of both the softer side and sexier side of love. The soft pink really stands out against the darker gunmetal chain and empire link. To begin I selected Grade A rose quartz rounds which came from Brazil and created hand-wrapped links with filigree gunmetal bead caps on each end. These links were attached to beautifully detailed Empire links from TierraCast in a gunmetal finish.
Rose Quartz Chandelier Earrings 

The entire chandelier was then attached to black niobium ear wires which were embellished by me using small gunmetal saucer beads. On top of the saucer beads I added genuine Swarovski Austrian crystals in a shade called rosewater opal. Swarvoski is renowned for their gorgeous laser cut crystals. Niobium is a metal that is closely related to titanium. Never coated or containing any harsh metals which makes them perfect for anyone with metal-sensitive ears.
