The Flapper can be explained by the number eight in numerology. Feast or famine, abundance followed by a crash, living on the edge...all these aspects of life seemed to me best represented by life in 1920s America.

The Flapper is rich, beautiful, and poignant. Something sad is in her face; perhaps it is an understanding of the transitory nature of material security. Note the late afternoon sky.

The cloche cap was created by making ONE pearl, duplicating it a thousand times and laying the pearls in rows…just like beading.
