Personal Work

I have women in my circle who are graduating college and starting their adult careers and I have been wanting to develop something special to commemorate their milestone. So, for several years now I have been journaling words, symbols, creative doodles and prototyping ideas. My quest: what type of personal accessory could I create that would hold affirmational or inspiring words for women that they could carry with them?
These necklaces combine my love of beadwork and color with inspirational messages on the reverse.

Loom bead work, charms & stamped words, handmade tassels, sewn and assembled silk pockets.
