Autumn Berries: Handmade Necklace 2/2

Description

Handmade polymer clay beads in soft blues, purples & pinks, finished with a burnt umber silk ribbon.

Inspired By...

Cold days and warm pies filled with blueberries and blackberries, just reeking of cinnamon and nutmeg. The kind of pies my granny used to buy and serve with cartons of custard because come on now, the lady was busy!

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, whilst listening to Troubled Blood. Pretty sure this is the best detective series of all time. 

Seagreen & Blue Beads

Eva hand mixes polymer clay colours in small batches before weighing, rolling, piercing & stringing each individual bead. It's a long, slow process. But the results are beautiful.

Batch: 2 of 2

Each made with a different configuration of beads so you can guarantee each one is as original as you are.

Fastening

Finished with sari silk ribbon, reclaimed from sari production in factories in India and made into ribbon lengths in rural India using handmade traditional techniques by women's co-op groups The ribbons are hand dyed so may have areas that are over or under-dyed, including 'speckles', giving a gorgeous vintage feel.

Using ribbon allows for you to fasten at the perfect length for you and your outfit, and is long enough for a dramatic bow to be tied at the back or side. Feeling less dramatic? Trim to the length you prefer.
