Scary Ocean Bracelet
I created a scary ocean bracelet because I was worried about sharks, sting rays, poisonous jellyfish and such when I have been snorkeling.
The Kracken by Faerybeads and the octopus from Scarlet Island Amphibian provide the scary finishing touch. The coral bead is from http://ugnieskauke.lt/en/products/articles-for-her/silver-beads.html. It’s a beefy bead. The last silver bead is the Alaska King Crab by Ohm Beads.
While I was waiting for the first silver beads to arrive, I wrote a poem. Dorothy Wallace had some beautiful glass beads that fit the poem and she was kind enough to customize a few more to complete my bracelet.
Oblivious
I am
Addicted
watching the golden slope of sand massaged by tranquil waves
Mesmerized
By the day’s sparkle and color and rhythm and warmth.
I remain
Oblivious
That sunlight weakens in the depths,
that color fades.
In dim gloom
a predator’s graceful, liquid movements mask his power.
Hunger is predictable; food is not.
Power unleashed is furious, life-squelching strength.
In dim gloom
he survives;
his hunt continues.
I remain
Oblivious
That gloom fades to blackness.
A skeletal predator’s scurry masks his power.
Hunger is predictable, food is not.
Hunger unleashed is over-whelming, crushing, crunching power.
In the blackness
he survives
his hunt continues
for life.
And I remain
Addicted
Watching a golden slope of sand massaged by tranquil waves
Mesmerized
By the day’s sparkle and color, rhythm and warmth
Oblivious.

Re: Scary Ocean Bracelet
The artistry of Faerybeads is phenomenal. She's able to create designs that are fantasy, not caricatures. Exactly how that is achieved, I haven't a clue, but it sure sets the beads apart.Brightonbelle wrote:Fantastic poem. I love the Faerybead and the great glass beads that Dorothy made.
I like that fact that Dorothy Wallace is able to capture the sense of motion and movement in her glass. I couldn't achieve that feeling with TB even if I could have found the range of colors.

Wow! This is amazing. I love the way the colours go from light to dark, just like they do in the deep blue/green ocean. All the silvers are great too.

I love the colors and depth (pardon the pun) of the glass beads. Your silvers are great, and the poem was a delight. Thanks!

Re: Scary Ocean Bracelet
Thank you for the nice comments.
I was reluctant to post the poem. It really IS rather goofy to be inspired by some beads, isn't it?
However, it truly was a eureka moment for me when I saw the range of colors and textures (not the right word but you know what I mean) in the Dorothy Wallace beads. After seeing those, I just had to push the "buy" button and write the poem.
Moral of the story, even thinking about writing a poem can be an excuse for buying beads.
