Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Neide Ambrosio explores the shimmering touch of chain mail, creating visual textures in vertical stripes. She links shiny aluminum pop tops with brass hoops creating a stunning bag with an interior lining. By recycling poptops, she makes a statement for environmental responsibility.

She said that she would teach me how to crochet and use recycled objects,
