DIVA Challenge #271 "Beads of Courage" / new tangle "Keepsake"

New attachment below...

What a great challenge! Thank you, Laura, for telling us the story behind the Beads of courage. I did not know it before but I am so impressed about the braveness of the many children who have to cope with several challenges and hard expereinces in their lifes. I love the idea of the beads and I can see how proud they are worn.

When I read the challenge I immediately had to think of my flight home from the CZT seminar 23 last April.
We had a 4hours stop in Charlotte and spent the time walking through the airport shops, had a Pizza, a glass of wine, some sweets.... In one of the nice jewelry shops I saw a necklace and fell in love with it. Some of the segments look like tangles!!  Yes, it was a bit expensive, but after thinking a while I decided to by it as a reminder to my trip to Providence and to my own courage to realize this dream.
And it works!
I think this is worth to show you my necklace and the tile I made of it for this challenge





After finishing this tangle and this blogpost to the challenge I still played a little bit with the pattern of my beads, and realized, that it really could be a new tangle. I deconstructed it, drew a stepout and I am full of  gratitude to have got the confidence to present it as my new tangle. I found the name "Keepsake" which matches perfect for me.
"Beads of courage" became  a new meaning to me: I am couraged to show my new tangle here on this post.

I hope you like it and maybe someone is going to try it:
