Dark Romances - Dead Poets

I think it's peculiar how so often the most tragic, dark- and sometimes ugliest things can be the most beautiful and the most romantic.

Ophelia, pale and dead floating in the water with flowers about her. Who is more beautiful than she? Or the dangerous Lord Byron, whose dark prose and poetry captivates and romances me...not to mention his portrait. And of course I can't forget Poe, and his stories of lost loves and beautiful dreams yearned for- never really attained.

Here are my newest necklaces, inspired by the darkly romantic artists and poets I so admire...

These are all available for sale on my Etsy here.

It is so good to be making jewelry again! I have so many ideas, so much I want to do. By the end of the summer I hope to have made a doll, a website, the final painting in my flower queen series, and tons more new styles of necklaces. I really want to make a choker, and more vampire art. It feels so good to never be bored. It feels so good to be brimming with excitement and passion. I don't know what I would do without art! Life would be meaningless. I feel so lucky and so blessed. romanticism
