Hello Everyone, I am wishing for everyone on the planet, deep peace, much beauty and lots of love. Today I made something to keep my mind off of events of late, excuse the shocking following news but I do not believe in hiding what needs to be noted.....but lately its the Delhi woman who died from brutal treatment, [her organs removed] by many men who raped her. They are finally considering changing the laws to be more effective and fitting punishments for the beasts who do these things daily, and also in protecting and listening to women who report on rapes in India. I hope other countries follow. My heart is so heavy. I'm just one of those people who has had enough.....enough already. But again, breathe,......breathe again..... I seem to be craving a cooler place, a whiter place, a sparkling place, and its not here in South Florida. I want a bit of this and this...... and a tiny bit, for a short time.....of this...... but alas....... soooooo I had to find something to do and I saw something online as I was browsing for chandeliers because I need a tiny one for my bedroom, and I found something so enchanting, source and since I had a hangy thingy I didn't know what I was going to do with, but I knew something, well, this picture became my inspiration for what to do and I had everything, so no cost, and those are the best! The advice said to just add some pearly Christmas garland and some snowflakes and ornaments and add them to your chandelier and that's it! I can do that! even without a chandelier because I had a silver hangy thingy I picked up from the thrift for $2 that I just KNEW would come in very handy soon :D So I made one. It's not a light, not a candle holder, has no purpose really but it looks like it can be a portal device to a Wintery Magical Land like this......... or this..... it could couldn't it ??? So I thought making this device was in good strong order! This thingy was rusted a bit and had some cheapy plastic crystals that I removed, then I spray painted it.... Then I went through all my Christmas things and took out the clear and sparkly pretties and it looked so beautiful all together!.....I haven't used these things for years. And this crystal tassel I just got from Michaels as the star of this little show..... some details of the things I had, acrylic prisms in a jar.......I had to make hooks for all of these..... beautiful iridescent glass snowflake and an iridescent heavy crystal prism....a few of those... years ago I bought these wired pearl garlands for a couple dollars each....I never used them.... and some old loonngg pearl strand garland for trees I haven't used since I don't do Victorian Trees anymore :D glass irridescent icicles which I love!......can't find them anymore..... Then I slowly began to put it together, and I got this......eventually. No sun but it still looks purdy :D The sun came out and I just knew this would look more beautiful and it did........it sparkled alot! I think its purdy, :D:D:D and its a source of smiles when I see it and it will remind me of Winter somewhere, not here, and a Wonderland, I'm trying to create here....and sparkly light reflecting magical things. I'm leaving it outside. I think I love these kinds of things because they remind of me the sparkly light of the Inner Spirit and the stars in the cosmos......cannot get enough of the sparkle! You can make one too.....what do you have lying around that you can use in a different way?? Magical blessings for a Sparkly New Year! ps: all images were from google/pinterest and I had them sourced where I found them but somehow the pictures were removed from this post and the linked source for them left....so I had to find images again, and I didn't source them since it wasn't honored the first time. I apologize if the pictures are somehow removed and you don't get to see winter images displayed here just for enjoyment and no other purpose.
