Marbleously Monochrome: Handmade Necklace 1/1

Description

Handmade polymer clay beads marbled in black and white & finished with a co-ordinating silk cord.

Inspired By...

Did you ever get a chance to play with marbling inks? Swirling the colours through trays of water before dipping sheets of paper to transfer the pattern - and always being mildly disappointed as the colours would run and spoil the perfection. Thankfully polymer clay holds the design in perpetuity.

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, whilst rewatching Stranger Things S2. Will is a bit very annoying tho.

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 1

Just one of these made at a time so it's 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.
