Unification Day Necklace by NightMaiden
A large open heart with a scrollwork design surrounds a planet charm symbolizing the unification of the planets.
Circular ceramic beads and the small black ceramic bead that is inside are offset with "chicken blood stone" (symbolizing the blood that was spilled in the war) and small wooden beads.

U-Day Rememberance FireFly Serenity Polymer Clay Beads by valeriebeads
My challenge piece is in rememberance of the sacrifices the Independents made, a field of brown flowers to signify the Browncoats, and red roses for the bloody battles fought.
The beads measure approximately 11mm. The beads feature tiny signature cane near the hole. These beads are glossed to give them shine. This listing is for the 6 beads pictured.

Serenity Now by lunaarcana
Instead of celebrating such an unhappy thing such as U-Day, lunaarcana decided to concentrate on the fact that Hope is still alive and to make a beaded charm for each member of the crew.
The charm bracelet is silver plated C chain, which will keep it's sparkle. There are cultured pearls in shades of steel and platinum (which are rough around the edges, just like our Browncoats!), Czech glass beads in shades of Topaz and steel blue. There are black diamond Swarovski crystals as well as sterling silver rounds to add just the right touch of "shiny".
The bracelet measures 8" and each beaded charm is wrapped directly to the chain so the charms will not come off!

You Can't Take the Sky, A Limited Edition Digital Collage ACEO by scarywhitegirl
The title of the piece, "You Can't Take the Sky," is from the theme song for Firefly. The words are also echoed in the text on the card, which is printed across a bright blue sky with a texture of dry, cracked earth. At the lower right, a woman's back bears the Chinese characters for "Serenity," which is both the name of the ship and the feeling that the blue skies can invoke.
This is a limited edition digital collage ACEO, created in Photoshop. The edition will be limited to 9 prints. The first of these will be donated to the Arizona Browncoats for the raffle at their Serenity Forever/Equality Now! screening of "Serenity" this year. The other 8 prints will be available through scarywhitegirl's Etsy shop... but act quickly, or they may be gone before you get yours!

All of the Coats in my Closet are Brown by sweettarragon
Some days, all she could remember was the darkness. At night, she saw rocks splashed with blood. She ran a finger over the small scrap of brown fabric she kept hidden from the Alliance and cried. Happy Unification Day.
Mocca Swarovski crystals nestle in black agate and brecciated jasper, a hint of brown shimmering in a sea of red and black. Lead-free open-work pewter beads, pen shell heishi, and a zinc pendant complete the memory. This hand-crafted 22" necklace closes with a toggle clasp in back.
