Fresh Ink on Paper: Handmade Necklace 1/2

Description

Ink blue & paper white handmade beads, finished with a co-ordinating silk cord.

Inspired By...

Letters are just patterns on paper that we've agreed to interpret the same way. Wild! The patterns created here are more abstract and evoke memories of being taught to write with ink pens, carefully refilling the cartridges and always ending up with ink-stained fingers. 

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, whilst watching Broadchurch. She missed it first time round and is delighted to discover it now. Olivia Colman is EVERYTHING

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.
