Red String and Porcelain Necklace

Porcelain pendants hand carved hanging from silver chain hand woven with red thread.

Discovered the benefits of porcelain- light in weight, clean aesthetic, musical quality when it moves.

The animation is about seeds that can not grow and is called "Swollen Seeds."
