One of the very first “throws” for most Carnival parades in the American south were necklaces made of glass beads. In recent years there has been a resurgence of throwing glass beads and pivoting Carnival throws to a more sustainable direction. They come in a huge variety of colors and I love using them in my work to remind us all of the joy that Mardi Gras is.

Soft green color lined beads hang from a big glitterly gold and purple flecked watching eye. The beads are flexible and move gently when touched. The wall piece can be used on a holiday tree, hung on the wall or incorporated into a wearable.
