Summary: A necklace and earrings

necklace and earrings of green glass and stones

Inspired by the running theme of plants having their own magic that runs through "Lud in the Mist". Based in part on the mnemonic:

Sedges have edges and rushes are round
Grasses are hollow wherever they're found

Several of the beads are triangular or faceted, for the sedges, some are lined or tubular for the grasses, and there are lots of round ones for the rushes. Reeds can be grasses or sedges (or several other things) but rushes are generally considered a separate thing.

These are really pretty! Loving the different shades of green and the symmetry, and it's really cool how the different shapes of the beads reflect the different plants in the mnemonic!
