she was having a Phantom of the Opera themed blog hop,
where we had to create a jewelry piece inspired by the play/book/movie etc
I thought it would be the perfect excuse to read it!
I have never read the book nor watched the play/movie before.
I have always wanted to since everyone that I have had feedback from
said how great it was. To me, it was okay, probably not on my list of must read agains,
but I would like to watch the film to give it a better chance.
The fact that because I was working 90 hrs / week through August and had no choice
but to listen to it on Audiobook probably didnt help it much, so one day
when this hecticness I should say- when we hire some more staff - I will
watch the film :)
I made a pair of earrings for my jewelry piece.
In the Audiobook there were no songs like in the movie or play,
basically it was the bland man's voice trying to sing and when he
did it was only a sentence or two.
So these earrings dont represent a particular song, they represent a part
of my interpretation of the story and some of the vision
that I had while listening to it.
The red faceted glass beads are for the love between Christine
and Raul, and the dark hand blackened brass for the struggles they went through
and the shape reminds me of fancy architecture way back then, It reminds
me of the Opera house ceiling around where the chandelier was and
also something that someone in the early 1900's would wear.
I dont really know that - that's just what I envisioned!
I was pretty bummed that all the audiobook had for music was short, out of tune
bits and pieces of the man narrator singing , I had never listened to an
audiobook before and I thought it would be perfect - I could sew and
work at the same time!! Now I know for next time!
This pair of earrings is listed in my
shop now, also with the
coupon SAVEMESOME15 I will take 15% off!
Today is the last day of my free gift ($15 value) with every order
made through the shop.
Thank you for looking! Sorry I am late for the reveal, my
autoimmune disorder has attacked and I was in the hospital :(
I couldnt move my right arm!! But I can now, with pain but much better!
Phew, that was mega scary.....
Please have a hop through the other talented artisans
participating through this hop! Some beautiful jewelry to see!
