'Courage' cuff

The second project I'm sharing with you from SouLodge was a cuff as a reminder of our own personal strength & courage - we all have it, we just sometimes forget.  So I decided, since I love words to much, to incorporate the word 'courage' into mine, and also to make it narrower as my wrists are very small, and these days I get a little warm at times - one of the many beautiful things about womanhood ;)  I enjoyed leather stamping so much that I picked up more leather in a lighter color as I think I would like to add paint as well, since that is my greatest passion.  Plus, my daughters loved the idea, I think this would be a great project for all of us to work on together, utilizing the words or images that mean most to each of us, especially since my eldest is on the cusp of leaving for university.  A good memory and reminder, I think.
