Outfit post Goranci (DIY necklace worn as a head crown) / Odjevna kombinacija Goranci (ogrlica koju sam sama izradila nošena kao kruna)

Today I present you with one of my own creation. Can you spot what it is? and if you can how do you like it? This head crown (or head piece or whatever) is a versatile piece of jewelry and it can be worn as a necklace or a head piece. The outfit is chose to match it is fairly simple, pastel colours and denim, noting too loud as the jewelry is statement enough. The photos were taken last weekend. I'm still a bit under the weather, so you probably won't be much outfit posts this month. However, there will probably be lots of fashion illustration and I'm working on some other things. xoxo

Danas vam predstavljam jednu od svojim kreacija. Kako vam se sviđa? Možete li pogoditi o čemu je riječ? Ova kruna (ili ukras za glavu, ili kakogod) je višenamjenski komad nakita, može se nositi i kao ogrlica. Odjevna kombinacija je poprilično jednostavna, pastelne boje i jeans, ništa prenapadno jer je nakit sam po sebi dovoljan. Fotografije su od prošlog vikenda. Ja sam još jako prehlađena, tako da neće baš biti još ovakvih postova, ali će biti jako puno modnih ilustracija, a radim i na nekim drugim stvarima. Ljubim vas!

HOW I WORE THESE ITEMS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS POST?

FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STAR OF THIS POST- THE GREEN HAND MADE CROWN

DIY NECKLACE WORN AS A CROWN - I designed and made this green necklace to match my designer prom dress many years ago. See this throwback  post to see my prom dress and the original form of this necklace.

The necklace was made from wire, Fimo and glass beads. The necklace was very loosely based on Tolkien's writing. I didn't base it specifically on any of the jewellery Tolkien's described in his book, but I was inspired by elven love for jewellery. 

“It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.”  J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. And of these histories most fair still in the ears of the Elves is the tale of Beren and Lúthien”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
more fair than Mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled;
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this―
the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea―
that Lúthien for a time should be.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“Love not too well the work of thy hands and the devices of thy heart; and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West, and cometh from the Sea.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while they still endure for eyes to see, are ever their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“And amid all the splendours of the World, its vast halls and spaces, and its wheeling fires, Ilúvatar chose a place for their habitation in the Deeps of Time and in the midst of the innumerable stars.”
 J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“....Wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth [Beren] came upon Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell into an enchantment; for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight. As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light.

But she vanished from his sigh; and he became dumb, as one that is bound under a spell, and he strayed long in the woods, wild and wary as a beast, seeking for her. In his heart he called her Tinúviel, that signifies Nightingale, daughter of twilight, in the Grey-elven tongue, for he knew no other name for her. And he saw her afar as leaves in the winds of autumn, and in winter as a star upon a hill, but a chain was upon his limbs.”
 J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“The doom of the Elves is to be immortal, to love the beauty of the world, to bring it to full flower with their gifts of delicacy and perfection, to last while it lasts, never leaving it even when ‘slain’, but returning – and yet, when the Followers come, to teach them, and make way for them, to ‘fade’ as the Followers grow and absorb the life from which both proceed. The Doom (or the Gift) of Men is mortality, freedom from the circles of the world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“But her beauty was more than their beauty, and her sorrow deeper than their sorrows; and she knelt before Mandos and sang to him.”
 

“The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.”

 J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“Then the voices of the Ainur, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs singing with words, began to fashipn the theme of Iluvatar to a great music; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of Iluvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out into the Void, and it was not void.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“And when [Bëor] lay dead, of no wound or grief, but stricken by age, the Eldar saw for the first time the swift waning of the life of Men, and the death of weariness which they knew not in themselves; and they grieved greatly for the loss of their friends. But Bëor at the last had relinquished his life willingly and passed in peace; and the Eldar wondered much at the strange fate of Men, for in all their lore there was no account of it, and its end was hidden from them.”
 The Silmarillion

“Here ends the SILMARILLION. If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.”
