state of my heart. 💔#whengiventhesameguidelines #guidelinesproject #process #alstromeria J U N E : Make a necklace as long as you are tall. This first piece can be made out of a material of your choice and does not have to be wearable. Think sculpturally. The necklace must have a closure of some kind and the weight cannot exceed 30 pounds. (at Boston, Massachusetts)
