Nostalgia 🤔

A midweek holiday is the perfect way to unwind—long walks, reconnecting with old friends, and indulging in a beloved passion.

Today, I took out my beads, put on some music, and lost track of time. Before I knew it, I was in a “state of flow.” Do you have a hobby that transports you into such a state?

This particular piece is a blend of memories and cultures. The pendant is from Beijing, the beads from Delhi, and the red spacer beads from Siem Reap. It’s truly a pan-Asian creation ❤️

This piece carries a sense of nostalgia—the bustling streets of Delhi, the vibrant colors of Beijing’s outdoor markets, and the lively stalls near Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. A common thread among these places was the sweltering heat.

This creation took me a while, as I wasn’t satisfied with the pendant’s placement. After several adjustments and securing it with a tiny piece of wire, I finally wore it to lunch.
