NEW to my blog- Throwback Thursdays!

Each Thursday I'll be posting some older pieces or photos for a little nostalgia.

For this first one, some pieces back from 2011!

^Natural old stock Royston turquoise ring with cigar band. Commissioned.

^Deep blue apatite gemstone clover and flower plugs. Commissioned.

^Commissioned ring based off of my original piece below. With high quality chrysocolla malachite stone. Quote is from one of my favourite poems of all time by Walt Whitman.

^Original with high quality Bloodstone and Baltic amber.

From the poem, "O Me! O Life!"

O Me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;

Of the endless trains of the faithless - of cities fill'd with the foolish;

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light - of the objects mean - of the struggle ever renew'd;

Of the poor results of all - of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;

Of the empty and useless years of the rest - with the rest me intertwined;

The questions, O me! so sad recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here - that life exists, and identity;

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse."

Lastly, a handful of rings in front of one of my old watercolour paintings-

Next update Sunday!
