simple string #14

I really wanted to do another warm tones necklace • & there was that lovely tigerseye bead to use • & the fall leaf beads really ARE very pretty • this one was fun to make

“So powerful, in fact, is simple string in taming the world to human will and ingenuity that I suspect it to be the unseen weapon that allowed the human race to conquer the earth …” — Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Women’s Work: The First 20,000 Years

They’re not strung on string but they’re definitely strung. I couldn’t resist the reference to one of my favorite nonfiction books. Very much worth reading.

(remember what i said about the warm tones? i really did manage more of those in this collection than usual)
