Gaea will be choosing a color for you. If you can't wait and want one now, click here. (The towers are part way down the page, as well as an Eiffel Tower bead.)
Thank you to Gaea for agreeing to work with me on this project. I know it's a small thing, but holding a piece of history in your hand and creating with it at a time when things are so crazy can be a cathartic thing.

ReplyDeleteParis is one of my favorite places. The Place des Voges is my favorite park. I think of how man cafes I have sat outside enjoying a cup of hot chocolate or a kir and get sad for the people of Paris. I hope people do not live in fear, but still try to enjoy a normal life.

I was lucky enough to spend a couple weeks in Paris when I was younger. It's a beautiful city and it saddens me that shut a tragedy struck there or anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI lovely piece that I would make into a necklace and give to a friend of mine that is marrying a French man,
ReplyDeleteAs an european this hits too close. We don't want to live in fear or to hate per se.
ReplyDeleteWe all have the right to live lives full of freedom and love. Here in Europe, in America, Siria or Mali or wherever in planet Earth you are.

Paris is one of my favourite cities. The recent attacks in the city and elsewhere are heartbreaking and frightening. What a lovely idea to celebrate Paris - Gaea's pendants are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteViva la France! I love the French language - I studied it for 9 years. Listening to French speakers sounds like home in a way. wadham97@aol.com
