Tartan bracelet!

My mother-in-law died on Saturday morning.  I had the privilege of sitting at her bedside for her last few days.

While there, I chatted to her, I sang to her, we listened to music and I also did some coloring of anodised aluminum. 


Here is one of the pieces I made that was inspired by her - a tartan (plaid) design bangle.  Lavinia was Scottish and, as a Baillie, the family has its own tartan -  Baillie Tartan - shown below:


Although my bangle doesn't depict the Baillie tartan -  I did use the same green, blue and orange in it!


Excuse the quality of the photos as I only have my phone and no lighting set up here in the UK!

Sorry about the loss of your mother-in-law. What great memories you will have of her and I am sure she enjoyed having you and your husband with her.
The bracelet is beautiful.

Thinking of you and John and your families. What a beautiful image picturing you singing to mother-in-law with your lovely voice, listening to music, and being with her during this time. I love the tartan bangle, too!
A great remembrance!
