Series 1: Love

"I Cradle You with Love"


Inspiration:
This Precious Memory Box was inspired by a tattoo I had seen before that had a strange looking bird with a star. So this is my interpretation of it.

A Swallow (species of the bird) holding a heart. This symbolizes that though we cannot hold out baby's in our arms we cradle them still with our love- forever. Our love is warm, it's so strong, and I know they (our babies) can feel it. The Swallow is a symbol of luck, but this wasn't a significant symbol in creating this box. Maybe it will mean something to the person who receives it. This box has a yellow rose, one of the meanings of a yellow rose is "Remember Me". I absolutely loved that. It is adorned with Cherry Blossoms. The Cherry Blossom in Chinese culture as a symbol of feminine beauty, strength, and love. The Cherry Blossom is a very delicate flower that blooms for a only a short time. In Japanese culture it represents transience of life (inevitability of life ending).
