Upon making this pair of earrings, I was taken back to some memories of gypsy movies where looking into the crystal ball, playing with tarot cards, dancing with tambourines & around the camp fire is the daily way of life.I came across this poem which I think suits this earring very well...
Gypsy Song by Rie Sheridan Rose
Come and hear the tambourine—
Come and join the dance!
Spinning silks in shades of light
Velvet dark as shadowed night.
Gold and silver buy your future—
Pasteboard cards with faded ink.
Caravans by camp fire glow
Keeping secrets gypsies know
Restlessly, we go our way
We were not meant for hearth or town.
Whirling dancers with eyes like jet
Centuries have not tamed us yet!
