\"summer's<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was trying to think of a name for this bracelet, what popped into my mind was what I thought was the beginning of a poem, something about summer and green and gold. (Have you noticed that I’ve been trying to be more lyrical in my project names lately?)<\/p>\n

Naturally, I turned to the Google machine for help, and naturally, found I was way off. Here’s the Robert Frost poem I’d been thinking of:<\/p>\n

Nature’s first green is gold,
\nHer hardest hue to hold.
\nHer early leafs a flower;
\nBut only so an hour.
\nThen leaf subsides to leaf.
\nSo Eden sank to grief,
\nSo dawn goes down to day.
\nNothing gold can stay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A beautiful poem, but after all that, I’m still sticking with “Summer’s Green & Gold” for the bracelet. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In the video I give some tips for designing with chunky\/irregular shaped beads. I love the combination of the different shades of green with all the bright gold filled beads and findings. It really does make me think of a day in early summer.<\/p>\n
