The Avalon Necklace
©1997 by Cynthia Rutledge

The Avalon Necklace - ©1997 by Cynthia RutledgeShrouded in the mist there was a faraway place called Avalon. Many thought it was real and many a myth. The mist concealed a place of great beauty and the people therein were mostly women. Many were highly spiritual and had special powers that helped them deal with the outside world.

This workshop was named after this magical place because the vessel that you are going to create has actually 2 layers. The inside layer isn’t seen until the lid is lifted to reveal the support layer of the vessel. The focus of this workshop is to create a wearable vessel using 2 stitches, netting and peyote. Students will learn decreasing techniques in netting to create the outer layer of the shape. The inner layer is peyote stitch with a decreased base. We will use the outer layer of the vessel as a foundation for embellishments and fringe. Complete the piece with an embellished lid, a wonderful beaded bail and a peyote tube necklace.
