Sakura

Hito kioshi hitoboshi koro wo sakura chiru
"Yearning fills my heart
When the candles are lit;
Cherry blossom fall."
-Shirao

 

It's finally finished, my eggy oddessy into the beady unknown :)

I have thoroughly enjoyed this (with moments of frustration) and have learned how to bead around things (and what not to do ;) ) and how to form petal shapes



Piper has a lovely new egg to replace her plastic one, and seems well chuffed with it! :)
The idea was to have the blossom beginning to blow away in the fresh spring wind, as cherry blossom is symbolic of youth and beauty, reminding us both are fleeting and that life is too short.
