This interesting necklace was created using a scrap of orange plastic cord found on an Arkansas trail. I intertwined this cord into a circular form and wrapped it with copper wire, both a fine gauge and hammered heavier gauge wire. I placed a hammered copper spiral through the center and wrapped loops of seed beads in pinks and purple around one side. It closes with a simple s-hook. the pendant is 2.5 inches long by 1.75 inches wide.
I strung this pendant on a 22 inch adjustable copper chain.
Creating Trail Trash jewelry and art with discarded items is one of the ways I contribute to keeping trails clean and unspoiled. When you purchase one of these items you are helping me in my personal endeavors and I thank you!
Trail Trash jewelry takes many different forms, but usually involves items I find along trails or hiking paths - back country, rural and urban. I clean/prepare these items and use them to create unusual yet beautiful necklaces, earrings, bracelets or other works of art.
I have made every effort to eliminate sharp edges, rough areas, and any other imperfections that could cause injury of a person or clothing. It is nearly impossible to remove every bit of these defects so please take care when handing/wearing these items.
