...I made the first necklace when I was 12 years old (as I didn´t have beeds (in Mozambique we had lots of missangas (native word for beeds), but in the 80s, here in Portugal I couldn´t find a single shop where I could buy them, so I used to cut electric coloured strings to make them.)...furthermore, I used to catch shells at the beach and mix them as beeds as well...)...for several years I´ve made necklaces for me (as accessories to match special clothes and events...) and to offer my friends and family...in 2008 I´ve sold just one at a flea market and now I am focusing on one of my handycraft competences...let´s hope you like them...

... ofereci este colar como prenda de Natal e o que mais apreciei ao elaborá-lo foi usar como peça parte de um relógio com a reprodução de uma obra de Gustav Klimt, porque tanto ele (um simbolista), Vincent Van Gogh e Salvador Dalí (um surrealista) são os meus pintores preferidos...
