My homage to R. Crumb's famous image that always seemed to be in the background of my childhood.

My parents loved his work especially Mr Natural. You can see and buy a print from his official website here. R. Crumb might have been inspired by Blind Boy Fuller's 1936 Truckin' My Blues Away.

I hope this necklace which comes with a choice of nine 1970s-inspired colours will help to truck your own blues away during lockdown ... 

Chains are nickel free and adjustable to three lengths. The words measure approx 7.5 cm. by 3 cm. They are cut from 3mm. acrylic.
Necklaces will snap under pressure – please do not bend. Moisture can discolour metal parts, particularly gold chains.  

£2 from the sale of every necklace will go to Microloan's COVID-19 Emergency Appeal. They provide financial literacy training, business training and loans to women in rural Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe to enable them to set up their own small businesses. COVID-19 has now reached the very poorest communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The communities Microloan works with. The people most at risk. Thousands of vulnerable families who were already struggling to survive, now face an even greater challenge.
