These kumihimo neckpieces have an interesting story. I had made an earlier version with knotted Chinese button for the clasps, it limited the size to one neck size, often the wrong size for an interested collector. Regardless all the pieces were sold. The series got a re-design with a special order - read the blog entry.

The 'Red Coral' was also made possible due to an experimental red color given to me by a color consultant working for the upholstery and notions industry. We had met many years ago though a thread producer who marketed nylon #18 made especially for the hobby industry and jewelry making in particular. I met him at one of my shows, ended up designing some kits for him and met his entourage and the color consultant. Among her box was one spool, an experimental color in a a true red. What a find. making it possible to create this unique piece.
