Voyaging into a place of pure questioning and an exploration into the possibilities of new materials to bring textures to life in the realm of adornment.

This piece was woven on a warp of wool and into it was woven a weft of wool, mother of pearl and black coral.

It is a sensory pleasure to wear. The weight, the soft tinkling sound of shell on shell. Its physical nature is delight-full.

This piece measures 7 inches wide x 9 inches long, the ties measure 12 inches on each side.
