A party of smiles :)

Lately I've been busy creating a party of happiness for my neck and wrists. A confetti, glitter bedecked explosion of joy, wonder and bright eyed wearable excitement. Finding myself outside of NYC and the jewelry district there, I am forced to use the materials at my ready disposal. Where I once sought out bead and precious stone vendors on 48th St. now I visit Michaels and Hobby Lobby at a strip mall. Creativity is all about what you make of it and I have seriously enjoyed using the materials of the masses to create items so "un-mass" like. I do admit the vintage chain and findings are from my last NYC visit in September but the main body and inspiration of my work are those kid friendly plastic iron beads with a dash of glitter, can you believe it? Happiness and creativity truly come from the unexpected. Party on.
