"In my native country, March 1 is considered the spring coming holiday and the lucky charm is in itself, a good-luck charm which is offered to bring good luck. I wanted to combine the Romanian art and tradition in order to bring this tradition in my "adopted" country, the United States of America. "
Mirela Harris, the US designer involved into this record attempt, said: "Having left Romania for so many years, I always try to do something which bonds me with my family back home.
