As a child I was encouraged by my artistic mother to be creative, resourceful, and inventive. I was always looking for new uses for old things and ways to make things I wanted out of things I already had. I was visiting with one of my favorite young friends the other day and she showed me some of her original jewelry designs including this one, a ring constructed from a brass brad and a plastic heart gem. It's nice to see the excitement and pride that comes with making something pretty from an 8 year old's point of view. Plus it's adjustable and who doesn't like red hearts? They go with everything.
