Bone and nettle necklace

I went from sparkly little girl necklaces to a beach-combing, sustainable piece this week.

It uses nettle string through drilled bone, small turquoise beads and beach finds to make an environmentally friendly necklace.

The finds include a piece of a whistle, and a tube lid. It also has a piece of pau shell, a mother of pearl offcut and a disc from an old necklace. The copper clasp is bound to the nettle string using old electrical copper wire.
