I wear this right angle weave necklace every election and most national holidays.
The seed beads are old stock Czech. The blue and white chevron beads are Chinese or Indian, circa 2006. The glass millefiori button is Japanese from around the 1950s, I think.
I made it right after the 9-11 attacks in 2001. It reminds me of hope, healing, cosmopolitan ideals, and civic responsibility in the face of dystopian chaos.
It also reminds me that our world is going to face much worse things. How we heal from and adapt to them, is a referendum on humanity itself.
