When I saw these beads it made me go back in time 40 years. Sitting at my Grandmothers (Nanny's) vanity, brushing my hair and putting on her jewelry.
Remember these?
I had so much fun playing with her jewelry. She would dab lipstick on my lips and tell me to 'pinch my cheeks for color'. I thought I was a movie star.
I wanted to play with these beads and do something that reminded me of Nanny and was trendy at the same time. I re purposed a vintage necklace and gold tone rings from a pair of old earrings to go with the 'theme'.
It is a fun and random representation of old and new, classic and abstract.
Not your Nanny's Necklace
More to come!

What a neat interpretation, Tish! It does remind me of jewelry I saw as a kid (not the peace-sign/love-beads kind)
