She Dreamed of Being a Mermaid, by JenniferMorrisBeads

If well done, a picture can clearly show the beauty of a handmade item (check). A written description, or in the case of JenniferMorrisBeads, a poem, can reflect the muse and story the creator shares through her craft.

When I first look at these beautiful earrings, the color is the first thing that strikes me. Turquoise and light blues always catch my attention. But while the design itself is stunning and perfect in its execution, the poem that accompanies this piece fills the clay with "magic", just as Jennifer says. It brings the piece to life. I am going to share the poem with you here:

she caught a glimpse
out of the corner of her eye
a beautiful tail
fanning reflecting
watery glow
splashing
diving
deep
deep
down
under the blue waves
dancing with seahorses
just below

-JenniferMorrisBeads

You can see the tail of the mermaid and the splashes she makes from her dive. You can see the depth of the ocean from the dark navy blue clay and how the light colors are the players in this story. These earrings tell a story, and a what an imaginative story for such a small delicacy to wear on your ears.

I always enjoy seeing what new pieces, and new stories, JenniferMorrisBeads has in her shop.

She is the queen of clay jewelry creations!
