Traditionally Shringar, a Hindu word, is used when enhancing a woman’s outer beauty. However, it can also represent the beauty beneath the surface. And in the case of Deb Robson, I see this word as a perfect expression of a woman’s creativity. These wristlets also represent the wearing of a tattoo; the tradition of inking the body with your truth. Deb has fully immersed herself into her work sharing her truth with all of us. I have chosen the Sanskrit words Virtuous and Breathe for the motifs in these wristtlets. The first representing her work, the second a reminder to her and us all that to do good work we must stop at times and Breathe.

These should be snug. If your wrist is slightly smaller you can adjust the placement of the buttons. If it is larger you can cast on 1 or 2 stitches at each side of the wristlets. Keep the motif balanced in the center of your wrist.
