I first thought about using sequins for wild gypsy earrings, but then I remembered the 60's and 70's and I knew those had been done a lot back then. And then it hit me. Mardi Gras is a great time to wear sequins, on your clothes, on your skin, on jewelry and anything else, really. Sequins shout Mardi Gras! So, without further fanfare, because Mardi Gras is always over the top, I give you Mardi Gras Mambo. It is a bracelet that reflects music notes, parade routes, random soft wandering under the moon. I miss New Orleans, but it's always in my heart.
