Shiny Things Gallery | Bracelets | Other | Eight Red Butterflies
So the story goes, there was once an assassin hidden amongst the courtesans. For every successful kill and escape, she would add a red butterfly to her bracelet. One day the bracelet was found on the side of a dock, hung on the handle of a knife that had been hers, and no trace of either the assassin nor the nobleman she was sent to kill (who would have been the ninth butterfly) was ever found. A romantic heart may tell you that she fell in love with the nobleman and they sailed away together. I see nothing wrong with hoping for that.
So I am terrible at waiting for things and I also sort of wanted to do something simple. No, actually simple, not just the "fake simple" I usually get roped into. I've had these eight red glass butterfly beads set aside for a very long time, and that little story in my head ever since. Finally doing something simple in a "less is more" sort of thing makes me happy.
