A Story of Copper jewelry from real plants and stones by: Elena Young.
My name is Elena Young, I live with my husband in a small community on the shores of Kentucky Lake.
I was born in Russia and rescued by the will of fate and our great desire to find true love by my husband, Mark.
Living lakeside in a vast forest region, filled with flowering herbs and towering trees. Being an artist and an alchemist, from a leaf of wild ivy or a thin twig, I create unique jewelry that forever captures a living moment forever in copper.
Kentucky is a fertile land for flowers, herbs, and trees. But you do not know that a small spirit lives in every leaf and flower. Some call him a forest spirit. He has a large green pointed hat and small shoes made from tree bark and flower petals. And also thin, transparent wings, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. A tornado flew in and took away the houses of little forest men - made of leaves .. They were left sad and homeless. And they wept loudly and sadly, and in such a way that their children and some people heard them. And they felt sad too, because they, too, had lost their homes to the tornado. One sorceress kept a few leaves and she made them copper, decorated with stones and painted them in different colors. And those little people found themselves new houses in copper flowers and leaves that even the biggest tornado will never blow away!
