This is the last of That Necklace With The Leaves! It’s also the last necklace in this collection. So. Welp.

“So powerful, in fact, is simple string in taming the world to human will and ingenuity that I suspect it to be the unseen weapon that allowed the human race to conquer the earth …” — Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Women’s Work: The First 20,000 Years

They’re not strung on string but they’re definitely strung. I couldn’t resist the reference to one of my favorite nonfiction books. Very much worth reading.

(this might even have been the first one I made, halfway through January? WHO KNOWS i certainly do not)
