Aurora Borealis necklaceAs an Alaskan, the northern lights remind me of two things: the long dark nights, and the solstice (which of course signals the returning light). With the dark nights upon us, and solstice just around the corner, I thought I'd share a treasury of the Northern Lights...

Midnight Stars quilt
Northern Lights neon diaper duo(yes, it's one of my own listings...but it's the reason I thought to do a Northern Lights treasury in the first place!)
Northern Lights earrings
felted scarfIn my searching, I found an artist who has numerous lovely paintings of the Aurora...so I wanted to make a special link right to his shop: Hayward Art
Here are a couple of my favorites of his pieces:
What great colors!!! Lynn's baby quilt/wall hanging from eggmoney is beautiful! She is my cousin and I know firsthand how amazing her pieces are.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I *LOVE* that first necklace you linked to. I'm not a big jewelry person, and I can only think of one or two tops that I own that might look good with the necklace, but I really feel like I want to run and buy it RIGHT THIS SECOND. It's so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea to do northern lights themed things. I suppose you actually get to see the northern lights way up there in Alaska, huh? I've still never seen them, myself. :(
