A necklace made of plastic ocean detritus lays on a clean fabric surface. Purple twine encircles six objects: red and green shotgun shells, light green and dark green knots of fishing cord, a blue bottle cap and a lighter blue scrap of polyethylene.

I made this necklace with plastic bits I found on the beach to wear with equal parts pride and shame. Ancient albatross-like wearables are the new black. #polydrift #albatross #mesoplastics #microplastics #plastictrash #pickup5
