I thought it was time to share my pride and joy that is my Life belt.
It took me about 2 weeks to finish and here it is.
Now unlike a normal belt that has the simple function of holding your breaches up, it functions also as a story telling device and " the most personal Item ive ever seen in my life" Madeleine Wilson
I use it to record important experiences and places in my life, as you can probably guess I got the idea from Christopher McCandless (into the wild);
Bennachie the mountain range behind my home where I grew up
My first big trip Away to Malawi to renovate a school
My first solo trip away to Canada to learn the process of Totem pole building
My solo hike through the beautiful Grand Canyon
Swimming with turtles in Hawaii
Solo Climb mount Fuji and staying in a Buddhist temple
Images and logos;
It functions also as a way of remembering information like telling direction;
and allows me to remind myself about the things that really matter;
The belt buckle was reclaimed off a sad old belt at a charity shop, so hopefully Ive given it a new lease of life.
