7000 Bracelets of Hope Blog Hop

Hi everyone! I've joined in again to create a bracelet for the Global Genes Project.  This hop is hosted by Erin Fickert-Rowland of Elysianstudiosart.com and Christine Altmiller of OneKissCreations.blogspot.com

If you've never heard of the Global Genes Project, I copied this straight from their website. I think they can say it so much better than I can.

GGP is a global rare disease awareness and education campaign that has been developed by the rare disease community for the rare disease community.

GGP is also a platform that provides tools and resources that aid rare disease foundations in new unique ways to fundraise.

We have been given the opportunity to help put a little cheer in the lives of the families, by making a bracelet to show our care and concern for their struggles.  Here is the bracelet I chose to make for the project.

A Little Twist of Fate





It is a straight Ndebele, with a little twist in the middle. I chose that to signify that twist of fate that changes our lives. And also to show that, just like the bracelet, our lives do go on. Maybe not in the same colors, but we do persevere.

Since they ask us to make it an adjustable bracelet, I chose to create a clasp with chain and a jumpring.  This way, it can be worn by a variety of sizes.

Initially, I added the jean to the ends, to signify the name of the project, but I decided it just didn't work for me.

I had a great time making this, just as I did last time. If I get a chance, I have one more idea that I'm working on for the project. Stay tuned for updates!
