Beaded necklace with skulls
Beaded necklace with skulls
Not every page of the story is embroidered with flowers. This one is written in black and white — a marching geometry of small skulls, worn the way the old patterns were always worn: without fear.
A bead-crochet necklace made by hand in Ukraine, glass beads worked round on cotton thread into a supple cord with a bold graphic rhythm.
One of one. Arrives gift-ready.

The tale of this motif
Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Hand-loomed beadwork cannot be duplicated exactly — thread tension, bead lots and the maker’s hand all leave their signature. Small differences are not flaws; they are the proof.
