Artist's Comments

After searching for a braille necklace and not finding one I was pleased with at a price I was willing to pay, I decided to make my own.
It's... whatever metal the dog tags from Things Remembered are made of, and I pounded it by hand with tools borrowed from a friend. The word is "hope". I wear it on a gold chain.
If you look closely (maybe download the file - it's huge) you can see the cracks in the metal where it was pounded. Photo by ~theszerdi, cause I'm lame and I can't take a decent jewelry pic. Thanks!

It did take two tries to make, but I'm pleased with it now, and the only thing I was unhappy with is that I was unable to find a silver tag.

It looks good, and it'll be a talking-point if you're ever low on conversation. ;P
Are you fluent in Braille then, or did you just want a Braille necklace?

Thanks! It gets a lot of comments anyway; it does leave an opening for conversation. :D
I am not fluent - I can read it (with my eyes, I've never touched braille besides this) very. slowly. but I don't get much practice because there's not much call for it... I just wanted a braille necklace! ;)

It looks really nice. I'm glad it came out so well for you! You should make more like this! :D

You finally did it huh?
~annasaphiree:iconannasaphiree: May 6, 2008, 8:11:39 AM
Thank you so much!
I would be happy to make more if other people wanted them, but I don't really have use for another. :D There are other shapes for the charm, too.

Yep. I've had it for a while, but finally got around to having it photographed two weeks ago.

:O Okay, I feel like I need to defend that -

This necklace wasn't fashion; in fact, it gets plenty of weird looks ("are you blind?"). It was really personal for me. I'm not really sure why, because I could have had the word scripted on it for free, but I wanted to be able to touch it... I used to be conversational in sign language, too, but again, there's not much call for it, and I've forgotten. Perhaps someday I'll learn them again. :D

But yeah, some of my fashions are pretty far out.
