easily amused

no, seriously, i am. i'm easily amused and endlessly entertained for long stretches of time by taking things like this:

and, with some playing around, turn it into this:

it's for my aunt caroline, who lives in nyc. i talked to her briefly on the phone last week, and she mentioned something about "chunky jewelry". then i saw these green beads when i went to the bead show, here in sf on saturday. i don't know what kind of stone they are, and frankly i didn't care at the time i bought them, especially because i was so distracted by the crowd in attendance. i just thought, "oooooohhhhhh!!!! wouldn't those make a rad summer necklace for aunt caroline? they're TOTALLY chunky!" now, however, i wish i knew what they were. they kinda look like some of the green turquoise i've seen on some web sites (who knew there was such a thing?), but these stones are more serenely opaque. they're also pretty heavy, kinda like sporting a 2 pound weight all the time. aunt caroline will be getting her summertime-work-out-groove on, that's for sure. i can't wait to get this sucker in the mail!

oh, and just in case you didn't know...
