My Little Hippie
My oldest daughter recently told a merchant in a vintage shop that she thought she was a hippie in a former life. She feels that way because she is drawn to all of the old symbols from the sixties. These symbols have become revitalized recently but with a new passion by the offspring of the “children of the sixties”. These sensitive youths seem to be able to embrace the issues and actually empower themselves through education, technology and daily practices like recycling in order to create viable solutions and positive change. This is my way of celebrating “my little hippie” and all of those children that have similar dreams and ambitions for the future!
What better way to start this fun collection off but with the universal peace symbol! A beautiful ceramic focal by Beadfreaky was the inspiration for this bracelet. Green is definitely the color of peace, calm, and quiet and to continue that mindset a big retro,”sweet pea” green, glass bead. Brass compliments any color of green keenly so the metallic connection links all of the beadwork and finishes the accessory with a hand forged swirl toggle clasp by Solivio. The symbol of peace is rejuvenated into a contemporary piece of casual jewelry that is fun to wear.
