Calling all fae folk!
I'll let you into a little secret! for my next collection of fairy inspired jewellery im working on the theame of daisies!
i know its probably been done before but thats because everyone loves the daisy! they are among the first heralds, or ambassadors of spring!
we all remember being a little child and making daisy chains every day as possible, for ourselves and for our mothers ;-) i always remember getting really upset with my father for mowing the lawn and killing all the beautiful dasies! ohh it was so sad! but up they would pop again not so easily beaten!
the main thing that inspired me to work with this inspiration was a poem i found from an unknown author! heres how it goes!
welcom, little earth-star,Blossoming so fair;Peeping from the meadowlike a jewel rare
How i watched you comingFrom the frostbound earth;Joying when the pearly budBroke the bars of birth.
Yellow disc and white ray;What a pretty flower!Kissed now by the sunshine,Bathed now by the shower.
Wide awake in daytime;Fast asleep at night;Earth-born stars; at noondayRevelling in light.
How you close your eyelidsWhen the day is done;How you wake refreshed and sweetAs you greet the sun.
Peeping from the grass-bedChaste and pure and clear,What a message Daisy brings:-"Come! the Spring is here!"
How i watch your leaves, too, Spread upon the ground,Staying all your neighboursBy their rosette round.
Blossom little Spring flower,Medows star with white;Help to make the brown earthBeautiful and bright.
Decorate the green grassPretty Daisy pied;Let the golden sunbeams in,Spring shall be your bride.
I'd love it if you'd share your daisy stories or facts/folklore with me! and help me on my way to create the most beautiful collection yet!
also if you have any thing you would particualy like to see me create just let me know! all inspiration is welcome! all i do i do for you faery lovers and to make you smile!
big Daisy love and many thanks
