Bone Art By Jennifer Trask

Last night my mom sent me a link to a blog with a post about the lovely carved bone art of someone named Jennifer Trask. 

Anemone-like flowers and ornate tendrils carved out of wood and bone
Reminds me of a seascape

I really enjoy these pieces for their natural materials and lovely workmanship. I've always collected shells and stones and seeds and I love the way Jennifer has treated bone and wood. Similar, though less ornate, is a necklace I bought recently.
