Description

This is one of the ideas about which I think they are great when I come up with them and get facepalms from others afterwards :D

You see, this is actually a quote from Shakespeare's play Henry V made into bracelet. I can't blame anyone not seeing it without explanation. Because it's binary. I am crazy like that. Silver thin beads are 1s and the clear round ones are 0s, the sea blue ones are dividing the bytes (as every character has one byte, e.g. 8 digits) and where there are two blues, its dividing words.

To illustrate:
Word "own" would be like this (with black instead of silver)
own = 01101111 01110111 01101110 =
:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblue::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblue::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblue::bulletblue:

So there. What do you think?

The quote in question here is this:
Every subject's duty is the king's but every subject's soul is his own.

I will probably do more of these because there are other quotes that strongly appeal to me in the works of this brilliant play-writer, but I don't think they will end up in my gallery, unless I find other form than a bracelet.

I absolutely love the idea. I mean, I don't think that it matters if other people wouldn't understand what it says - I would go and giggle about it all the same :XD: Or perhaps even more because I am one of the few who knows what it means?

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have a quote like that I would definitely commission you to do one of these for me :XD: (if you would be willing, that is) Buuuut I can't think of what I would want written...

Still! Awesome idea!
