Bottle Caps Pearls…. after countless hours of sa Bottle Caps Pearls…. after countless hours of saving, sorting, cleaning, drilling and threading bottle caps onto string my vision has been realized. This work is inspired by my homeschool artist residency with NOW Friends my hat was supposed to take place Summer of 2020 in Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪 but then Covid made travel impossible and I spent my time studying textile and beading designs online instead.
