My discoveries in Puerto Vallarta Mexico



What's a "neckpurse"? Well that's my name for it. They actually have a front and a back with beading on both sides forming a little pouch. Well what could you put in them? A couple of coins, a $100 bill, pills, a key or your shopping list. Dress it up or dress it down, either way it will be the conversation piece!

Huichol Indians who are descendants of the Aztecs that thrive up in the Sierra Madre Mountains make these stunning pieces. Everywhere I go I inquire about the Huichol made tiny little "neck purses" seeking the best quality and color variety's. They are all quite different. Now I have found 2 Huichol street vendors and a store that feature the best! What do you think? Like them? They can be worn long or tied to shorten. The length is around 20 inches plus the purse or pendant is about 3 to 4 inches long.
Let me know what you think. Place a comment below. I'm taking orders via email. So if you are on my jewelry group email list or on facebook, you'll receive the opportunity to buy one from me. The price is perfect. So affordable. Perfect conversation piece! Be on the look out for the email!

Can't wait to make a Cindy Neckpurse! I have so many idea's. Need the cooler weather preferably. So it won't happen until we get to Montana I'm afraid. I think I can handle sketching my thoughts for now.
