A python that asks nothing of you but a collarbone to rest on. Green, yellow and white scales ripple down the full length of the cord — and in the pattern language, a winding line is water, the oldest protective border there is.

Bead-crochet, made in Ukraine: bead after bead fed onto one long thread, then crocheted into a smooth, flexible rope that coils and drapes wherever you settle it.

One of one. Arrives gift-ready.

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
