Beautiful beadwoven necklace done in a technique called tri leg chain. You can see in the pictures why it is called by this name. Normally tri leg chains are worn twisted to show their texture. This necklace features three shades of blue around a white core. I used size 11 seedbeads and a button & loop closure to make it look traditional. Tri leg chain is a technique invented by the tribes in Southern Africa, where great beadwork artists can be found and beadwork has a big cultural meaning. The necklace is approx. 42cm/18" long and is a part of my African Collection.
