My daughter and her family live in New Orleans. When Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, their home was among the thousands that suffered significant damage. To protect the homes from further damage, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers covered the houses with blue tarps. This effort became known as the Blue Roof Project. I made this necklace for my daughter with leftover blue tarp strips rolled into beads and covered with various small pieces of debris — electrical wire, ruined clothes, and scattered beads.
