Red Mum Thread Necklace

Description

This unique piece showcases a stunning abstract floral design, meticulously created through free motion embroidery.
The design is skillfully crafted using recycled threads, carefully collected from sewing classes and various projects. To ensure its durability, the threads are securely enclosed between two layers of water-soluble embroidery stabilizer. After completing the embroidery, the entire piece undergoes a thorough washing process to release the design from the stabilizer.
Adding a touch of elegance, hand beading is delicately incorporated, providing an extra dimension of texture.
The necklace is elegantly suspended from an 18″ red silk cord, creating a bib-like appearance.
With a design measuring 9″ across and 8″ high, this necklace is a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship.
