About Theodora Mae Mwclis Amlswyddogaethol
Roedd Frida Hulten eisiau i'r gwisgwr fwynhau dwy olwg hollol wahanol mewn un mwclis. Ystyriodd bob rhan o'r gwddf a'r torso, gan ganolbwyntio ar y cefn. Y canlyniad yw mwclis y gellir ei wisgo gefn i'w blaen. Wedi'i greu ar torso polystyren, mae'r mwclis wedi'i siapio i ffitio o amgylch gwddf y gwisgwr. Mae ganddo union gyfrannau fel bod y darn bob amser yn llusgo'n gywir.

- Lapis Lazuli, bespoke adornment, handmade jewellery, handmade jewelry, wearable art, 2-in-1 necklace, semiprecious stones
- Production Technology
- Made by my hands using; Lapis Lazuli, Glass Beads, Swarovski, Turquoise, Brass Beads, Antique Copper Chain, Antique Brass Chain, Brass Ring and a Gold-plated Feather.
This piece took me 21 hours to complete. I created it on top of a polystyrene torso so that my design can drape around the neck and follow the curves. - Design Challenge
- This piece was not only difficult to make because of detailed construction and hours spent. I had to also consider the curves around the neck, so that the piece falls, sits and drapes perfectly.
- Research
- Theodora was a strong powerful Woman, an Empress of the Byzantine Empire and wife to Justinian I who reigned 527–565.
I chose to use the semiprecious stone Lapis Lazuli as it is an ancient favorite by especially the Egyptian Kings and Queens. - Inspiration
- To best describe my inspiration I would say it has a Byzantine body, an African heart and a Native American spirit.
I wanted to create a necklace that could be worn back to front. - Project Duration
- This piece was created in Stockholm during January 2016.
- Operation Flow
- The necklace can simply be worn back to front for two different looks.
