I posted this already in tilted artwork but what the hey...flowers that last forever, made in origami (japanese).

Blooms 4 Ever

I'm sure I can think up more...will come back later.

edit: thought of more already...a Lichtenberg figure...this is cool if when you fell in love with her, lightning struck, so to speak lol

Lichtenberg Figures

I remembered also, that once I got a really lovely gift. They can be a little pricey, but beautiful. I was given a small round necklace pendant made of murano glass (italian), called a Millefiore pendant. They're transparent and reflect light, and look beautiful on a thin gold chain. Here's a pic of a similar one:



Whil browsing for millefiori, found this site that has other types of pendants...sacred tibetan pendants no less!

Tibetan Pendants

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.


Fernando Pessoa, 1918
