In the Grip of Faux Bone

I swore off jewelry in December, but somehow it has sneaked back into my creative stream. Faux bone had me in its grip for awhile, now I'm working on some springlike pods and branches, plus flowers unlike what I did last year. There is also a giraffe painting in the works. I must note that the faux bone I'm using is entirely made from polymer clay, it's not the product that Robert Dancik sells, although I have some of that, too.
