Before Thanksgiving, my son asked me to make "Christmas Stockings" for his children, Lucy and Hollis. The only thing that he asked for was to make them timeless. My sister had a stocking knitted for him when he was three and he still uses it in their decorations. That was his idea for his children.Well, I had not problem with Lucy's but Hollis really stumped me. His main interest right now are Lego's. My son vetoed that idea. So, it took me a long time to make this stocking.
It was done for Christmas but because it was finished while I "fevered", I took it back to finish the embellishments. When I think of "masculine", I go back to basics and that means stones, silver, petrified teeth, and ceramics. I have used Amber and Oyster Shell. There are two petrified sharks teeth. The is a Ankh symbol for the peace I want in his life. And colored "Trading Beads". I guess I just put the ideas Men have used over the ages to work and grow.
This is the best Shark's tooth I have ever seen!I hope that it grows and becomes special as the years pass.
