so i have been feeling sentimental lately. there are so many things going on around me that are just oozing with love and strong feelings. i am just going to make a little list, because what cannot be solved with a list?
- my sister's wedding (clearly some love going on there)
- my best friends being so far away (okay, distance is relative but they are not living with me anymore)
- my man being so far away (i guess this is normal for our relationship but i will never get used to it)
- leaving my mamma (she is loosing my sister to Rich and me to South America)
sentimental love can turn cliche quickly; but the thing about cliches, they are cliche for a reason... because they are often desired no matter how hard we try to deny them. i mean, what girl doesn't want their man to show up with roses? (Especially when they are in a monster energy drink bottle and the roses are hand picked from rose bushes in his back yard)
and recently i was looking for craft projects on etsy, something to occupy my time while i sit a home in a slight boredom. and i realized the unique handmade rings were really fascinating. i recommend searching them sometime (maybe a future blog post) but i wanted to make something unique and i saw some wire sitting on my desk (and no this is not strange, probably the most normal thing on my desk) so i decided to curl some wire.
the first two roses feature two wire curled rings, the out of focus one is a spiral knot, the close one is clearly spun into an RW (you decided if they are my initials or Rob's) |
the dried flowers are from a wedding i shot at and the carnations are from the Spanish and Education Honors Societies and the white rose is from my sisters. |
i and love and you. could be turned into a necklace. |
gotta love my artist studio/bedroom that was taken over by an explosion of art supplies |
the list could go on, but the best thing is that it doesn't matter. if love makes you happy, go with it.
happiness is only real when shared,
rach
