Every Cloud: Handmade Necklace 1/2

Description

Marbled and pure soft grey handmade beads, finished with a black silk cord.

Inspired By...

TBH the working name for these was 'Family Holidays in North Wales' (Don't get me wrong I love North Wales, but wow my overarching childhood holiday memories are rain and slate and cold) but then Pantone announced their colour of the year as 'Cloud Dancer'. I mean it's a TERRIBLE colour of the year but named well.  So Every Cloud it is.

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, whilst her teenager decorates the tree. It means more ironic (iconic?) decorations than she would choose, the boy seems to have unearthed a decorative box of chicken nuggets and a skull in a Christmas hat, but hooray for someone else taking charge!

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: 1 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 cord made from recycled sari-silk reclaimed from sari production 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 cord 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.
