Folksy Handmade - Ammonites



Seems like Ammonites inspire a lot of people, not just me. There is something very pleasing about their shape. Not quite symmetrical, but there's a start and end, and you can wind or unwind as your eye pleases. Plus, it gives me a chance to select a palette of colours to create each one, which is something that I always enjoy doing. Pattern and colour all in one. My favourites. So for this week's Folksy Friday I have a whole fossil bed of Ammonites. (If you're off on holiday to one of the fossil beaches around the country, good luck.)
