Be as a bird - new story bracelet


Yesterday I finished a new story bracelet - called "Be as a bird". It's based on a quotation by Victor Hugo:

Be as a bird that, pausing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.

The idea of the bracelet is that it is a reminder to "not worry" - with the quotation suggesting that we have the strength and capabilities within us so we can cope when things are difficult.



Hope you like it.

Thanks for your comments. I really enjoyed the concept of taking a poem and making it into a visual piece. Need to scout out more poems now.
