this is a total coincidence that i managed to enter Inspiration Avenue's challenge "hello spring" this week. remember my "byte me" adornment? well, my fren Myza saw it and she loved the concept. she said she wanted to commission me to make a hybrid USB necklace for her too.Myza and i go a long way. i think i've know her for at least 15 years, maybe more ... and she's a very very good fren who's been there for me thru thick and thin ... erm ... and also, fat and slim :p ... i dun think i could ask for a better fren to share my life with. we danced together, worked together, laughed, fought, slogged and even bought our first home in the same area at the same time. to this day we remain close and often have tea when we send our kids to ballet school ... at the same place :) now that's what i call true friendship.
it was her birthday yesterday ... what better than to give her a gift she wanted :) so i made this USB necklace for her. she's a much more daintier person and definitely more ladylike than i, i thought a more delicate design would suit her better than my humongous scary looking biker dude "byte me" design. and so i came up with this. it still has my trademark rusted washer, a milder version but with prettier shades of oxidization.
i wanted to give this piece a name ... when i look at the piece and think of Myza, 'delicate' comes to mind ... also, sweet and gentle, carefree (the vision of running in the windy field), ornately romantic but not vintage, more of innocence romantic and a little daydreamy nostalgic. immediately the word Windflower came to mind and soon after, the tune from the song Windflowers by Seals & Crofts comes drifting into my head. PERFECTO!
i googled Windflower and found out that it belonged to the buttercup family, is an anemone species and blooms in spring. wallah! isn't it perfect? just like the song, just like the harmony in the song, just like Myza ... perfect ...
