Reposting in memory of my Aunt Edy, who died this week. I first posted this in 2016, short after my excellent adventure with my aunt. Here is what I said in 2016: "The guest artist, Edythe Sigman, is my Aunt Edy, 97 years old. She has been making jewelry for about 10 years, something she decided to try at age 87 after cataract surgery improved her vision, so she took some lessons at a bead store. During my recent trip to Colorado, she showed me over 100 pieces that she has made. This necklace is one of three that she gave me: cane glass with an intricate pattern of very small black and blue beads. It's a long necklace and can be doubled. When I unpacked from my trip, I decided to photograph the necklaces and post them here."
