Inspired by Tony Albert's 'You Wreck Me Rosaries', we invite you to create your own beaded affirmations this Wear it Purple Day. With the artist's guidance, take what's important to you and turn it into a proud and fun-to-wear beaded accessory that shouts your hopes, desires and protests for the future.
