Color Inspiration - Boho Tassel
by Debbie Blair
My husband likes to read historical magazines that he regularly checks out from our local library. Much to his surprise, he recently discovered an article that mentioned some of my ancestors who were notorious bank robbers in the early 1900s. I had heard very few details about these ancestors from my grandparents when they were alive, so reading through the article filled in a lot of blanks for me.

I started to think about other memorable stories that my grandparents shared with me. One of my favorites was of my grandma and grandpa's honeymoon in the 1960s, how they drove the spectacular Pacific Coast Highway that hugs the California coastline, with steep drop offs into the Pacific Ocean.

This image reminds me of my grandma's description of certain parts of that highway. I love the warm palette of ochre, orange, and browns. I used memory wire to create a bracelet with various wood, glass, and metal beads, then added two small tassel accents. Similar beads were used in the hoop earrings with matching tassels. I'll wear this simple boho set often and think of my sweet grandparents.
