It's my baby sis's birthday tomorrow ... although we celebrated on Sunday at the farm. She's been in the area on a freelance assignment, but heads home tomorrow to her "boys" in NY. Juju's style is all her own--a little retro and lots of hip. It's no wonder she's a favorite freelance stylist for many production companies. (She told me Sunday that she used the necklace I made for her last summer on one of the "models" in the commercial they just shot. Woo hoo! Next stop, Academy Award gift baskets!)I made her a "Day of the Dead" (Dia de Los Muertos) necklace for her birthday. I'd come across this fun little musician-skeleton-guy bead some time ago, and used him for the centerpiece. Then, I incorporated some glass beads, African beads and some tiny wooden beads from India. I think it turned out pretty cute. K and I also snagged a fun vintage scarf for Juju last week at an antique mall in Marietta, OH. It said 1964 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR and featured some of the "futuristic" attractions that were part of the event. (She loved it!) Just thought I'd share.
