Hey, Rachel!<br>

This is probably a really retarded way to go about communicating this stuff to you, but I figured it's so all over the place, it wouldn't translate well via e-mail or whatever.<br>

(Plus my scanner broke, so these are pooty photographs, but I'm hoping if I kind of vomit it all out, you might have ideas on organization and stuff)<br>

So, here goes:<br>

First is the sketch I started with that gives an overall idea.<br>

Basically, The center design would be flanked by the little lotuses in circles, and then the border (and too frilly) stuff would wrap around the rest of the ankle/lower leg, kind of like a band, only in black like the rest and repeating evenly on both sides (unless you have ideas on making it look more organic and not so rigid and boring on a body part?)<br>

This would be the center part:<br>

But with a curly tip like this at the top:

The lotuses on either side in circles would be kind of like:

The borders came out way too dark with the camera, and I really love them but they make the whole thing look really busy and a little weird. Any advice you have would be a saving grace:

And then finally, I tried to paste little parts together on paintbrush tonight, but it just came out too big to fit properly and looking like crap. D'oh:

Meh.

That's what I've got until payday and scanner.<br>

And if all this is too much junk to organize, let me know and I'll re-group it and stuff.<br>

Thank you <i>so much</i> for your time, and help, and art, and everything!
