I love, love, love the raku work of Dorcas from wondrousstrange, but it's really hard for me to use her pieces in my jewelry - because I can't let them go. 
Yesterday, finally, I made this necklace with the adorable scarab (and a sea urchin spine) as a pendant.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures - I will try to take some better pictures tomorrow. I just couldn't wait to show this piece to you, because I am really thrilled with it!To see many, many more wondrous raku beauties, visit Dorcas' shop!
