I crocheted a few stones for my daughter Tamara's birthday. One of them was a variation of the pudding stone and I called it the mermaids net. It is a loosely crocheted net with small opening to capture the sea glass and smooth pottery pieces that the sea gives as gifts.
okay a random adorable edgar photo too:)

What a beautiful piece! I'm sure Tamara will smile every time she looks at it or holds it.

These are so beautiful! I am forever collecting shards on a streambead. I love their title as well. Such an inventive idea!

So pretty and delicate. Beautiful collection of sea glass colours too, she must love it. Sweet shell cosies in the background too!

I think all the ladies above said it all, each in their own way ... and probably better than me ... this stone is ultra delicate, so simple yet so sophisticated. Your daughter is very lucky, and you are very lucky to have her too.
PS : I love the light in your pics, too. And the random adorable Edgar photo too. oxoxox

I have collected sea glass for years-this stone is an imaginative way to keep and display the sea's treasures-very special!!

Just wonderful! I adore those pieces of pottery and tile that wash up occasionally, too.

It is a lovely mermaids net. It is an interesting to wear them a mermaids net. The cat looks so beautiful.

Margie, that is just so very cool and beautiful. I believe it is the perfect way for a mermaid to display her treasures.

There are so many stones with the net coated cover. I always like to collect different colourful stones. They looks nice and attractive.
