All I want for Christmas

The lovely Lori got another treasury entitled "All I want for Christmas - a few luxuries" that features my "be as a bird" bracelet.

All the other pieces are made by the Etsy Metal Clay Team too. Click on the photo to see larger pictures.

The poem by Victor Hugo that is depicted on my bracelet is:

Be as a bird,
who when pausing in flight,
alights on a bough too slight
yet continues to sing
knowing she hath wings.

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.

New story bracelet

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!
