Doing a new series based on birthstones! Poem that will be at the bottom of the illustrations was written by an anonymous writer for Tiffany Co. in the 1870s. The poem uses the traditional gemstones rather than the modern ones so some maybe different. I will incorporate the stone somewhere in each girl's outfit.
It's funny. I chose Meg because in the poem, amethyst frees you from passion, something the independent Meg might want (but not need!) Only after I picked her did I realize she wears purple. Perfect!
