La Principessa

By Station Gallery
 on July 10, 2022

La Principessa is one of Maryilyn Clayton’s pieces that she is very proud of and it employs various types of wire work.

This necklace began with a foundation of base wires which is the foundation for this piece. Very thin wire is then woven to make the woven silver seen on the lower part of the work.  The Ametrine stones (citrine and Ametrine blended together in nature) were wired in afterwards.  Next came the braid that you see in rose gold-filled and silver on the top-most section.  This was formed using an ancient Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo.

Also pictured is a bracelet which is also formed using the kumihimo disc with leather strips for a very different look.

Drop by the gallery today or tomorrow while Marilyn is on duty,  and she’ll do a demonstration of the technique should that interest you.

The Art of Kumihimo – Marilyn Clayton

Marilyn Clayton works predominantly with gemstones and uses various methods of wrapping, weaving and connecting the jewellery she makes.

Marilyn likes to have the stones and beads she is working with dictate the medium used.  Kumihimo is a versatile system of weaving using cording, thread, wire, etc alone or using beads.  Marilyn is seen working the kumihimo in sterling silver and rose gold filled wire to make a flat braided bracelet to go with the ametrine necklace, also pictured.

Here are some pictures of various applications for kumi.  The possibilities are endless.

Drop by the gallery and see how it’s done!

Marilyn will be in the gallery next on the 13th & 14th of July.
