Raiders embroidery and Bullet Casing Jewelry

Anyone who knows me knows how much of a Raiders fan I am not.  My family has always been a big SF 49er family, that I think they would disown me if I ever thought to become a Raiders fan.  But one of my best friends from high school is a big Raiders fan, so I thought I'd make her a Raiders Scarf.

 The emblem I found online, and it was pretty big.  But it was the right size for the scarf.  I think it turned out pretty cool.
The scarf is a fleece scarf, so it was really easy to embroider.  I've learned to use tear away stabilizer, I really love the stuff, our JoAnn's stopped carrying it, so I'll have to search around for another source.


I also found some really cool teardrop shaped beads from my flea market bead seller lady, and they fit perfectly on the bullet casings that I'm turning into jewelry.  I did one of each color to see how they would look, now will have to either make the other side or use those as charms.  I really like how they turned out.
