These necklaces remind me of the countless hours at summer camp where I'd weave, fold and knot plastic gimp thread into 3-dimensional lanyards and keychains. If I could recall half the skills, I'd try my hand at these intricate beauties...
I still remember those lanyards from when I was a child at camp many, many years ago, and strangely enough, I REMEMBER HOW I MADE THEM. Court, we can have a class next time you are home. We also covered wire coathangers, made key chains and bracelets. I was a STAR in the Arts & Crafts pavillion.......ummmm, not so much in the sports arena.
These really almost look crocheted or like tatting(not my forte either).
I was destined to be a part of the creative world—between my early obsession with Fashion Plates and declaration at a young age that Jem was more hip than Barbie, it was just a matter of time until my fondness for design became a career. A Louisiana native, I moved to New York and led the wholesale divisions for Hollywould and Jill Stuart, as well as designed with couturier Ralph Rucci. With my husband and our furry daughter, Burkly Deluxe, we embarked on a few years of overseas adventures in Malaysia. We are now back Stateside “Inside the Loop” in Houston, Texas.

I spent hours and hours weaving as well. What great memories.

You're right Mom...they sort of look like tatting! I am just in love with everything this line does. And I love that she's in Singapore.
Hey, if you want a macrame' (sp?) neck-o-lace, Momma can give you a class on that too; how many of those pot hangers did we have?;-)
These are so awesome! They look like the necklaces on the DvF runway (similar).
