elephant

a couple of weeks ago, i went to beadissimo on valencia. to be honest, i've always been kind of intimidated by all the beads on the walls and just blank out and spend any time i am there playing with the india beads in the big trunk by the door (am always there with someone actually buying). at any rate, i spotted a certain elephant figure ... and decided to make something of it. and i wanted to, but i needed nancy to help me - and she ended up doing it for me! and so - another belle epoque creation:





i've worn it to work every day this week...

anyhow, i am psyched for this weekend. i am taking a letterpress class at the center for the book and will check out the indie designers at the capsule spring design festival in hayes valley. can't wait.
