Artist's Comments
One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun—which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so... And it was like that with Colin when he first saw and heard and felt the Springtime inside the four high walls of a hidden garden. That afternoon the whole world seemed to devote itself to being perfect and radiantly beautiful and kind to one boy. Perhaps out of pure heavenly goodness the spring came and crowned everything it possibly could into that one place.
~ "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett This is the first necklace I made, and I am very proud of it! As you can see, it's inspired by the book, "The Secret Garden", hence the rose, the key, and all the greenery. If you notice, some stuff are there because it's symbolic. (Yes, I am a nerd like that.) Made with copper artistic wire, the rose is made out of clay, and the key is hand crafted from Japan. The beads hanging at the bottom include a green Swarovski crystal heart, turquoise stones, purple and green cat's eye, a glass pearl, and a few other smaller Swarovski crystals. This is now one of my favourites!   Thank you so much for the feature(s) by: here. |

 reports, 1d 2h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
