Description: |
Who doesn’t love The Sound of
Music? Every time that I watch the movie the songs stay with
me. I find myself humming the songs or softly singing them
days after watching it. I love all of the songs in the film,
but Climb Every Mountain is probably my favorite.
The
dynamic duo of Rogers and Hammerstein brought the long
endearing music and lyrics to The Sound of Music making the
film a much-loved classic. The lyrics of Climb Every
Mountain are so inspirational. The Mother Abbess is singing
to Maria helping her to understand the parallels between a
nun’s choice for the religious life and choices that she
must make to find her purpose and direction in life.
For Maria, she had to come to
terms that she possibly wasn’t suited to being a nun due to
her creative side and her inability to follow strict rules.
Remember the words “How do you hold a moonbeam in your
hands?”
So, where
does this lead, you may ask? I look at this song as how I
have followed my dreams of being an artist. I have climbed
many mountains and forded many steams, with ups and downs
along the way. But I will continue to follow every path I
know and give it all the love I can give. And when I see the
next rainbow, I will follow it!
My design,
Climb Every Mountain was inspired by the lovely
lyrics of the song. A brass cuff blank is covered in peyote
stitch and laced together on the edges with fire polish
beads to lend a bit of sparkle. The central component (the
mountain) is a bullet CZ, simply bezeled in peyote stitch
with a circlet of pearls. Three CZs are bezeled, and
connected to each other, to add the finishing touches on
either side of the center component. Beautiful to wear and
certainly brings a song to mind.
Bracelet length:
7/8 inch wide at center top, 5/8
inches wide for the bracelet by desired length |
