Soy Silk® is one of my favorite fibers.
For this necklace I first spun the Soy Silk and added my beads during the plying process. This fiber is 3 ply, two Soy Silk® and one Infinity Soy Silk Yarn 20/2 strung with pearl color glass seed beads.
After spinning I corded the hand spun and began the bead adornment.
The beads are my lampwork created from Morretti Glass (Ivory and Translucent Light Amber) and two recycled Chardonnay Glass Beads.
Check out the 2 Vintage Buttons. The center button is a 2 hole sew on button with Fresh Water Pearls added to the back of the button so the button would stand straight on the corded yarn. The photo shows it to be a blue color but it is a clear Crystal Button.
This piece can be found at Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery, 134 South Montezuma Street (Heart of Whiskey Row).
