Lucet Braiding ideas

I've been wondering what a lucet tool does exactly, so I picked one up at Maryland Sheep and Wool this year and figured it out with a book. After I made a few inches of cording, it started to give me an idea to use it as sort of a soutache cord. So I played around with the shape and some beads and made a couple necklaces. I'll be trying earrings next.
