I've been making some photo polymer plates for a new "story" type bracelet. It'll be in the design of the "remember the little things" bracelet but the story is based on the following 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.
So it'll be like a 'do not worry' bracelet.... A reminder that we all have strength within us, even when things seem to be tricky.......
I share four of my initial sketches - which is very brave of me, as I can't draw - but it will give you an idea of the process and how I start. Hopefully you can match the sketches to the quotation......
Then hopefully next week, I'll finish the bracelet and you can see the end result.
If you have a story or quotation that you think would translate well into a bracelet - do let me know!

You're drawings are lovely Ruth! Thank you for sharing them. Don't sell yourself short on your ability to draw - they capture the quote and are so very you. You have such a strong, developed style. It's hard to see it in ourselves, I know, but it's there. Can't wait to see the end result!
Cheers,
Sue
