work to wear

for the earth day celebration at the museum (i.e. family day), we let our work study student plan the majority of the day. she has been working with us for two years now and is awesome. sometimes i'm not sure how we'd get through without her! for this family day (with some guidance), she chose to create paper beads out of old magazines as one of the crafts. kids can make necklaces from them and recycled shoelaces. very clever. i took a couple of the sample beads home and made earrings. i think they are cute. i'll have to show my co-worker tomorrow (our family day mastermind). she seemed skeptical when i said they'd be cool. what do you think? i might wear them tomorrow...
