Polly Garter Bracelet for St. David's Day

Description

Rather than go for anything obvious for the St Davids Day challenge I thought of one of my favourite books. I've loved Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood since I was too young to really understand the naughtiness of it! Polly Garter, who sings of all her loves, especially Little Willie Wee (who drowned) as she nurses her many babies, is one of the naughtiest characters (or maybe that's Rosy Cottage?). This is her bracelet.

It is designed to look like a pretty garter, in delica seed beads with candy pink bow motifs and two blue hearts (signifying poor Little Willie Wee), with a pearly ruffle at each edge. It fastens with a pink heart which goes through a loop of pinky-red delica beeds.

The bracelet is around 2cm wide and 190mm long (7.5").

Inspiration

I made this bracelet in response to a Folksy Forum challenge for Wales/St.David. I chose to celebrate Wales' great poet, Dylan Thomas.
