lespwa means 'hope'
like the rest of you, i have been wondering what i can do to help the victims of the earthquake in haiti...
i happened to be on rebecca sower's blog... she had been travelling to haiti long before the earthquake... but when it happened, she went into action... there is now a blog and an etsy shop called 'haiti by hand' where you can go to help...
i had seen in rebecca's blog that lespwa means 'hope' - a word near and dear to many... for this lespwa necklace i created resin components... the link says 'renewing' and 'time'... it is always the time to help, but when crisis arises we can renew our dedication to that cause... all copper wire, lapis, turquoise, recycled sari fiber, a fiber & fabric wrapped link... and a hand - to illustrate our reaching out...
i encourage you to take a look at her shop...

so very lovely. so very full of inspiring hope and a call to action. for my part i am donating 100% of the profits from the sale of my jewelry at the gallery where i sell my work in the month of january. press release just went out. i am hope-filled that there will be a lot of generous souls. will i miss those sales? certainly, but i have so much and others have so little. we do what we can, with what we have, where we are. and when we run out of dollars to give, there is always a shoulder to lean on and a prayer winging its way to heaven.

ReplyDeleteA most beautiful necklace, Mary Jane! And a beautiful sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI just love that round resin link!
I'm in love with resin/wire "wing" - so delicate looking - very pretty! Thanks for sharing the link to helping Haiti. I'm putting together a bunch of jewelry to donate and that's just the place to do it!

When an artist makes such a special piece and decides to donate it for people who are in such pain ... the communion of the two is so much deeper. Beautiful work, Maire.
ReplyDeletegreat work ! Let's hope that they rebuild Port au Prince as a dignified community and get rid of the hovels. xx
ReplyDeleteA stylish piece with a beautiful meaning. Another wildly creative piece by the master artist. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteMary Jane, you have put your heart in to this piece and it sure shines through. I'm loving what you're doing lately with resin...this one is so special.
