Ma mäletan, et kui ma seda "assemblage" kaelakeed nägin, jäi mul hing kinni. Valust. Ma olen päris kindel, et see ehtekunstnik ei teadnud, mis ta teinud on. Ma lihtsalt pidin seda uskuma. Tegin kiire ostu ja otsuse see kunagi taastada. Lugesin helmed üle ja mulle jäi mulje, et seal on üks puudu, mis vaja kusagilt hankida. Hoidsin silmad lahti ning mul õnnestus saada samast ajastust kõrvarõnga paare, milles need õiged helmed olemas. Ja siis tahtsin tööga pihta hakata. ...aga julgusest jäi puudu.
Nüüd on aeg käes.
I remember when I saw this "assemblage" necklace I gasped. From the pain. I really wanted to believe that the designer didn't know what she has done. I just had to. I made a quick purchase and decision to restore it in the closest original state I could. When I counted the beads it seemed to be missing one, so I started to look for it. I was way too lucky when I found a couple of earring pairs from the same era and with the same beads. And then I wanted to start. ...but lacked the courage.
Now the time is right.
