statement is an understatement

I could look at photos of India all the live long day. The colors do something to me deep down in my being. The gold jewelry makes me weak in the knees. If only I had a cute nose. You know I'd be piercing that thing so I could wear an Indian nath. Sometimes I wear a bindi just for fun.


Strange? Maybe, but what do I care? If I'm going to be a housewife I might as well be an eccentric housewife.

Of course India inspires me to create. I made this pendant.

Then I started on the rest of the necklace. It kept getting brighter and bigger and more intricate and just, well, more Indian.

I'm calling it a "statement" necklace, but really it's more than that.

It's electric.

It's $175. I know expensive, but well, a little piece of a Eastern nation doesn't come cheap. If you want it, leave a comment.

If I could just get over the smell of incense, the idea of worshiping a rat and the oppression of women, I think India would be a wonderful place to live. I get lost in the colors of everyday Indian life.

I won't be packing my bags quite yet. For now, I am happy to glean inspiration from photos. Hummm, what will I make today?
