Geometry After All

As a little girl, I was smitten with algebra. X and Y go to the store.
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c). Coordinates. Axes. Happiness.

Geometry was another story. Didn’t interest me one iota.

So of course today I love geometric shapes, work with them all the time, think geometry is absolutely the bee’s knees. Life does that. (And I still love algebra, too. Go figure.)

But nobody loves everything, everywhere, at all times. This necklace has plenty of interesting shapes. Some would say it has a lot of movement.


But it bugged Nancy no end. Sure, the intersection of the shapes was great, but the piece also felt "busy." You know how sometimes at a crowded party there might be a dozen conversations going on at once, all interesting, but it gets so you can't really decipher or take part in any one of them after a while? Like that. Plus, it always got twisted. So it ended up sleeping in the jewelry box.

Fine. I waved my magic wand. And looky-here: Two for the price
of one.



Well, three, if you count the earrings, which don’t photograph well.

And now you can see the shapes even better. This time around, less really is more.
