Shar’s Lost Carousel (adopted)

April 14, 2007 by aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuL

I finished this piece after visiting a friend’s grandma. She’s in the last stages of cancer and juz seeing her all rags and bones made me cry.

I remembered the last days of Mom, when she is also lying in bed, fragile like a child.

I remembered how my childhood was tainted by a person’s folly.

I realised people don’t make five stones anymore since we have Nintendo.

And how I never got to sit in a carousel when I was small cos…we simply cldn’t afford the luxury.

So, I told myself, when I’ve got kids, I’d at least bring him/her to the carousel.

The carousel is made of black wire. Totally handmade. Wired in a vintage gold carousel horse. Took me quite alot of time and patience. Thus, take care of her girls. She is my pride Note: Slightly weighty

Hi babe,
Your post touched my heart. I’d love to have this beautiful Lost Carousel. What is the length, and can it be made into a necklace instead?

shar> u’ve got mail~!

karen> I’m glad my rabblings struck a chord, as this baby is already reserved for Shar, u may consider a remake? (maybe a little different from this one to maintain unique) ~ The earring is abt 8cm. And yes, it can be customised into a necklace as the earring IS a bit weighty~ hahah~~ but if the deal fells thru, well…ya, I’ll mail u again ^^
