I can think of no more whimsical way to spend your day! [:X] Check out this link for inspiration: The Jewelry of Nature http://reviews.ebay.com/The-Jewelry-of-Mother-Nature-Evolution-and-Revival_W0QQugidZ10000000000901783 "From the Dawn of Civilization, ancient cultures have been using jewelry to beautify and protect themselves. Jewelry was used to display social rank or ownership, as well as enhance looks to attract a mate. The earliest of jewelry was made of objects of Nature easily collected and gathered, such as bone, shell, and feathers. As children, all cultures instinctively pick up eye-catching items, wind stems of flowers together, or put feathers into hair. Throughout the ages, jewelry has become intricate works of art and self-expression. The use of Mother Nature's bounty has symbolized abundance, fertility, freedom, strength and beauty."
