I figured you did something fantastic but I just love all of them! I love how you can literally take a piece of literature and capture it in a piece of jewelry! I really truly wish I could find some of that in me! I used to write, all the time - I thought I was pretty good too. Then something made me stop. I don't think I can find it again but I will just keep following you!SueBeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864619666721794935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-20240122287933629222012-06-03T08:12:30.876-05:002012-06-03T08:12:30.876-05:00Erin, what a great hop!

I just figured like any good party you make your way back the the host and thank them for the bash and all the fine friends you got to meet. Laura's poem touched me the most, and your interpretation is equally beautiful. But I couldn't pick a favourite of your pieces, each is beautiful in their own right.<br /><br />What a privilege to get to join in the fun and tour these many blogs I haven't had the chance to come across otherwise. For all you put out there Erin, with all the busy-busy-busyness I hope it comes back to you tenfold.

Each one has it's own unique style, reflecting the literature you chose beautifully! My favorite is the necklace for the poem "For Those Who Endure Midwest Winters".

What could be better than that and all forms of art to boot. <br /><br />STUNNING WORKS OF ART! You are like a jewelry engineer choosing parts in one well crafted piece that all work together.

I love seeing people draw inspiration from different sources and literature can definitely be full of inspiration.<br /><br />Your necklace inspire by "For Those Who Endure Midwest Winters" is my favorite of the trio. The whites with the green and those leaves from Mary Jane Dodd... gorgeous. <br /><br />I'm not a big poetry girl.

Not only did the poet capture the essence of the midwest spirit in her words you created such an amazing connection through symbols. Mary Jane's leaves, LeAnn's bird, and Heather's egg all seamlessly intertwined in ice and fresh spring. I just LOVE it! Also, the heron is incredible and the Old Love poem made me tear up again. That piece has so many elements and surprises. Thank you for inspiring me today with words and beauty!! xoxo BethBeth Hikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382619109646930425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-60257246418007710632012-05-31T12:48:18.672-05:002012-05-31T12:48:18.672-05:00Erin, you never fail to inspire.
