Necklaces

These knotted necklaces were made with Irish Linen Thread. They are 20 inches long and can be shortened by tying a knot in the back. The first one pictured is black, braided with ladder yarn. The shark's teeth are wired in gold and it has a blue bead center.  The second shown was made with sage thread, copper wire and beads. A trade bead was used for the center. The third necklace down was made with rust colored thread and gold wire. For the fourth one, I used white thread, silver wire, and turquoise beads. I have made 50 necklaces in total. Each is strung on white, black, sage, blue, or coral colored thread. Various fibers can be added. I wire with copper, gold, or silver wire. All necklaces are for sale for $20.












Hanging inside, strung from branches in an iron basket, the necklaces form a sculpture.
