CHALLENGE
If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to,
no one with which to share the beauty of the stars,
to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life?
It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning.
This is harmony.
We must discover the joy of each other,
the joy of challenge,
the joy of growth.

i am
challenging
myself once more
it is proving to be a test of my patience
a test of my skill
my hands and mind
are trying ever so
to create a piece
of jewelry with bits from
quite some time ago
i stumbled upon
i was taken away
to a land
far far away
imagining queens and princesses and faeries a~sight
it was this magnificent piece that stole my heart
touched my soul in the most magical way
and then this
oh i couldn't help but share this one as well...
"Taking Flight"
this little piece here
has made my heart soar
...sigh...
if i could i would link all her pictures and pieces here
but i really do think the simplest way
to be on your own adventure
and taken far away
is to fly on over
and stay for awhile
be moved by her creations
each little bit
exquisitely hand made
i have linked all her pictures
so you are only a click away
from her beautiful space
and there you will see her
at hand
will join along in this adventure
i know i am
here are a few of the bits i have gathered
each brass piece
came from the
store
tis store where you will surely find
a treasure or two
calling out to you
delicate and dainty bits i did find
sparkling crystals from my granmother
these are what is left from jewelry i made
long ago when my husband and i married
and pearls of my mother
will be in this piece
so for now
i must go
as a
is at hand
may you be filled with dazzling pieces
to fill your spirit
and keeping your soul sparkling
this day

They are beautiful. When I see these things, I miss the days when I, too, was creative, but time does move on and I have found other ways to express the creativity inside.

I'm quite sure you will find a way to put all those pieces together in a manner fit for a Queen...
Dazzling and sparkling upon your throat :)
Have fun with your challenge! Isn't it wonderful to recycle beads and bits into a new piece of jewellry that still resonates with the old memories?
Oh,my...That´s absolutely amazing work and immensly talented soul!!!
Thank you so very much for sharing,
Hugs and Love,

They are so classy in their own way... if you know what I mean...
How exciting! I wish you well with the challenge. I think you will create something SO beautiful. Can't wait to see all the components put together! Theresa :)
Each beauty I see enlarges my heart and mind with possibility.
Breathing taking jewelry.
Broaden our horizon with the thoughts on how important it is to love ourselves first, moving on to love others.
Excellent photo and word share. Good job!
Couldn't help but gasp at your posting today. Such gorgeousness on many, many levels.
So very true that we can only ever have compassion, empathy and understanding of others when we demonstrate the same with ourselves. Without such kindness, our love for them is only a fragile, fickle thing that can be so easily shattered and disappointed.
Oh my! Your scrummy collection of treasures made my heart skip a beat - they each seem to whispering excitedly, shining out bright beams of hope, possibility and fresh opportunity. SO looking forward to finding out what magic you weave with them, particularly given the inspiration you've been gleaning too! Enjoy!!

Oh, such a beautiful post! Thank you so much for sharing some of my favorite pieces with those who know you, and maybe those who don't~yet =)
I look forward to seeing what you design with the beautiful bits & pieces from Brass Bouquet, along with some very personal ones from your own life...
I am so very pleased.
