When I was in Thailand I spent a day working with a group of women at The Mirror Foundation. We spent time working on some prototypes for new clay whistle beads, the heart and a polar bear. I have had this heart bead in my jewelry drawer since I got home and have never once worn it until today... fits the occasion though. My plan was to do something like this, with the unique ribbon and extra beads. So far, that hasn't had time to work itself into my schedule...so maybe next year :)
