THE SYMBOLISM

As a child, comfort-thumbed ruby-red threads wrapped around my wrist.

Hand-tied by my mother,  they were secret, silken talismans for the moments we were apart - second-skin reminders of our connection.

Not only did they weave between us, those vivid red strands crossed continents and cultures, languages and religions, held tight for centuries as amulets for love, protection, courage and connection. 

And so, we reimagined those threads in multicolour. 
And wove them through love-worn gold.  
Symbols of the moments, places and people weave through our lives.
