A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
This is a necklace I made for a challenge by my Etsy Team-Indie Free Spirits
My inspiration for the piece might be a little far fetched,
so I feel it grants an explanation, as well as a little peek into my mind during its conception!
The challenge was to pick a person from history and create a piece inspired by their life...
My Inspiration:
Leonardo DaVinci
First, I was attracted to the brassy tones and beautiful flowing lines in this drawing 'La Scapgliata'. Which, for anyone who is curious, means 'The Lady of the Dishevelled Hair'...
Then I found these beautiful studies on drapery...
I have always been fascinated by Da Vinci's studies on proportion and depth.
The one below is of the proportions of the face.
You can see the top of the necklace shape in his forehead.
Here, a study of the hands where I see a beautiful layered natural curve...
The swooping lines and golden tones of these drawings made me want to make something that I could see the women in Da Vinci's drawings actually wearing!
