One of the things that I enjoy about creating jewelry is gifting pieces to deserving people. My husband at work is one of those people that is always helping others. Even when it's not his job. There is a lady who is in the custodial department. Part of her job is to take the garbage out. The garbage gets heavy. Tim volunteers to help her do that part. To thank him for helping her, she brings him home made burritos. She makes them weekly to sell to the employees in his area. But he gets his for free for helping her. This has been an ongoing thing. I decided I wanted to do something nice for her. After all, this is one lunch a week that I don't have to fix. π
Word is, she liked the necklace so much that she made him a stew like meal called Birria.... or so Tim thinks it's called. Tho he was trying to call it Pinto as in the bean. She speaks Spanish with some English so Tim only understands so much. But what he does understand is what a great cook she is.
**I never got a chance to professionally photograph this necklace. I haven't been working in my studio as I have brought much of my supplies to the dining room area. I'll explain that in another post.
