Design Brief:
Grizzly bear – not mean but strong and defending - This is my spirit animal
Oak tree – Celtic symbol of life and the world
Celtic knotwork trinity knot on tree bark - another Celtic symbol but this one of the threes(a significant number in Celtic spiritualism)
Hiding somewhere in the image are small things that represent my 7 values
1) The initials AHB( perhaps carved in the tree bark in kids font as if a kid carved it) – My daughter
2) A writing quill – My love of written word
3) A lute – My love of music and the arts
4) A paw print (could be from the bear) – My love of animals and nature
5) Something to symbolize helping others. I don’t really want the typical hand reaching out, but something…
6) A lone star( either hiding or in the sky above) – Texas born
7) A spider’s web. No spider, just the web – My life online “on the web”
