Oh Marla, I know how excited you were about this. And now I see why...it is just so beautiful :-) The blue you used is very comforting and peaceful. And the Blue Heart is just so deep and lovely. I feel like I am whispering as I type this, like I don't want to disturb the calm.
ReplyDeleteMaking this was a beautiful tribute to your daughter. Thank you.
Thanks so much Christine! I am really happy with it! I am honored to be part of such a creative group of ladies that donated their time and materials for such a wonderful cause. Thank you so much for helping to organize this :)
DeleteMarla, your bracelet is gorgeous and it is even more special because you did it in the memory of your daughter. The person that receives your bracelet is going to be filled with joy. Oh and great job on your first self design.

Thanks Therese it means a lot that you like it. I am really happy with the way that it turned out. My boss had me make his wife one after seeing it in Auburn Colors lol. So not only was it my first designs but my first commissioned sale as well.
