Take Flight
I have been so un-inspired this last week and a
half. I have sat down several times in my studio to come up with
something for the week three Year of Jewelry challenge. The theme of
this week was Take Flight. I finally came up with something. My
inspiration was my sweet Angel Kelsi.
For those of you who don't know, Kelsi is my second daughter. She was born 16 weeks early due to me having severe Pre-eclampsia. She lived a very short life and passed away in my hands just 2 1/2 short days after birth. You can read more about Kelsi on her website.
You can find out more about pre-eclampsia at the Pre-eclampsia Foundation.
This angel is made with Sterling and Fine silver wire, sterling silver beads, glass beads and a large amythest bead for the head.
I have a very strong feeling that this angel is for someone else. I am going to DC next weekend for a class that I am taking and will be stopping by the hospital to see my wonderful doctors and nurses. I will be leaving it for a mother of an angel.

Melissa, I am so very sorry to hear about your daughter! I had wondered about the name of your business, but had never asked you. I cried when I read this post last night and visited Kelsi's website! I cannot imagine the grief you must feel at losing your child like that!
Your angel is beautiful and I'm sure it will bring comfort to another mom.
My children have been sick for the past two weeks, so I'm very behind on my jewelry making! I'll let you know when I have something ready to show you! Working on my sweetheart earring gift exchange project right now!
Take care,
Mary
