As we start the New Year with so much uncertainty in the air, I decided to focus on love. And with the upcoming Valentines Day, I decided to create a collection of beaded jewelry inspired by romance. Each purchase will come wrapped for Valentines Day and sent to your beloved. And, as usual, each purchase comes with a free pair of earrings to give away as a random act of kindness. A friend of mine gave me this wonderfully colored bracelet cuff (pictured above) for Christmas and the colors have inspired me to look in my bead collection for a similar palette. Thus, I have been creating designs inspired by this beautiful collection of pastel flowers. update on Maren's Peru Project ![]() As many of you know, I've moved to Los Angeles to engage with my academic life and pursue my goal of getting back to Peru. I'm enjoying the academic work, but I must admit that finding work down here in Los Angeles has been harder than I thought. And, despite all the jewelry sales (thanks so much for your support), I'm still needing to raise about $6K to get back to Peru. So, my trip will have to be postponed till I get more established in Los Angeles. Envision a job for me here, hopefully at the Getty Institute. Thanks again for your support of me through your beaded jewelry purchases...and your belief that I will get back to Peru one day. Happy New Year!
