Younger sister of the Tkana Sztuka competition wrap, still in the underwater theme, was inspired by the Abalone shell. Fascinated with iridescence I decided that warp made of silk and echo pattern would be perfect for picturing this effect, of which I have dreamt for quite a while. For this wrap I have chosen weft made out of pearl, dyed with a delicate pooling effect and the tail is finished with very long twisted fringes with small beads. And the shine is there!
Ring sling with large silver aluminum rings, long twisted fringes with beads, hemstitched edge.
