Jewelry

I enjoy making necklaces and earrings, this is a recent set

made from a large vintage clip-on earring, a button,

various beads and a cross with added jewel.

I like the asymetrical design.

I love this set you made. It is just beautiful. Isn't it amazing what we can make with other pieces? I love taking old bracelets and earrings apart and putting together a whole new piece. Isn't recycling just the best? I have gotten to where I don't throw any jewelry pieces away. Even old watches when they quit working I keep now.

Thanks for sharing sweetie. These are just beautiful. Have a great week. Country hugs...Sherry; November 15, 2009 at 8:23 PM

Beauty Inspires

"Beauty and affliction are the only two things that can pierce our hearts." (a quote by Simon Weil) - is how John Eldredge begins a chapter in his book "Journey of Desire". He goes on to say, "Because this is so true, we must have a measure of beauty in our lives proportionate to our affliction ... No, more, much more. Is not this God's prescription for us?

Just take a look around. The sights and sounds, the aromas and sensations - the world is overflowing with beauty.

God seems to be rather enamored with it.

G lo r i o u s l y wasteful.

Apparently, He feels that there ought to be plenty of it in our lives.

Beauty ... heals, stirs us, moves and inspires. Lift any obstacle you may have to filling your life with greater and greater amounts of beauty.

"One should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of one's life, In order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."
