What do an old-school Bazooka Joe box and a vintage football helmet have in common? In the hands of Susan Flanagan-Herman, they are no longer just memories, they are nostalgic masterpieces.

In this episode, we sit down with the former educator and School Director who traded the principal’s office for a world of sparkle. Susan has gained a cult following for her ability to take nostalgic, everyday items and transform them into "maximalist" statement pieces through the meticulous art of bedazzling.

We explore how a heavy dose of rhinestones can turn a piece of "trash" into a gallery-worthy treasure.
