Crochet Flower Necklace

Brightly colored washi paper is carefully crocheted over time to create this piece. The loose thread ends from crafting each motif are intentionally left as-is, adding an endearing touch to the design. This charming necklace highlights the Japanese craftsmanship and thoughtful creativity that 45R embodies.

The box is made from handmade paper crafted by recycling disused fabrics from India. These fabrics are broken down, mixed with glue, and transformed into paper using traditional hand-scooping methods. The soft cushion inside is made from fabric scraps, reflecting the "mottainai" spirit of cherishing and reusing resources—a value deeply appreciated in India as well.

Reminiscent of childhood days spent crafting necklaces and flower crowns, this vibrant necklace feels like a colorful slice of a blooming meadow. Its playful and nostalgic charm makes it truly unique.
