This is a jewellery piece in which I designed/made last year for ''Indigo Paris.'' I had to take inspiration from a trip to Hampton Court and as part of my brief for Indigo Paris design and produce 6 fianl dress fronts. One particular image which struck out the most for me was a large wall hanging of an adorned elephant wearing a stunning jewelled neck piece. The neck piece worned by the elephant was so unusual as well as the shape and details applied. It eventually inspired me to make and design this necklace using techniques such as crochet and beading embellishing. My aim was to make the necklace 3-D, vintage inspired as well as in making the necklace the main feature for the garment front.
This is a beautiful piece Sarah, as is all of your work.
