The Raft

Category: Lost-inspired jewelry

Cassandra from Design by Cassandra created this necklace as an homage to the raft built back during the first season of Lost.

From Cassandra’s blog:

“It’s a classic plan: someone (usually overthrown with desperation) will attempt to build a sea vessel to bring them back to civilization, to the life they had. More often than not, the builder of the raft has some sort of exceptional skill set that allows the execution of this endeavour to be a legitimate effort … Michael’s background in construction and art helps him build a solid raft/boat that holds its own, despite being blown up by the others in a plot to kidnap his son, Walt, the inspiration for his desperation to escape The Island and all its perils. Upon saying that, this necklace is a testimonial to his nautical efforts in not only the redemption of fatherhood and safety of his son, but to the application of skill to ensure survival.”

This bracelet was created by Jamy Hills of Brass Monkey Designs. Her favorite Lost character is Hurley.

After season 5, the concept of time became key to the island’s mythology. But there was one fan who insisted there was some kind of time inconsistency long before season 5 ever aired and time travel was en vogue. To read the extensive work that fan Jason Hunter has done visit his website.
