Drawing notes:
This drawing has three bells with a space between them. The first bell reminds me of those crape paper wedding decorations that unfold and have expanding squares to create a full bodied bell.
Bell two is a large square-ish bell.
Bell three is reminiscent of the cow bell we used on the farm, being small and short.

Drawing Notes:
Just six little bells to play with shapes. How observant are you? Each bell is the same as its counterpart in Bells03, just moved one dot to the right. Drawings like this are useful when you are making larger drawings. Bell one and three were created to fit within the Wreath01 – Christmas drawing when their counterparts were off center.

BELL 01, Outline
By: Richard Hinkle
This bell was inspired by the bell in Edith West’s Holiday Wreath number 2.
Design is 9 Rows, 14 cells.
Note: Full size picture is on the last full page of this document.
Begin design:
Row 1: space 5 times, dot 6, GG [2356] two times, dot 3.
Row 2: space 5 times, Q [12345], space 2 times, ER [12456].
Row 3: space 4 times, dots 3456, B [12], space 2 times, dots 45, V [1236].
Row 4: space 3 times, WAS [356], Q [12345], space 4 times, ER [12456], HIS [236].
Row 5: space 3 times, full cell, A [1], space 4 times, dot 4, full cell.
Row 6: space 2 times, dots 56, full cell, space 6 times, full cell, dots 23.
Row 7: space 1 time, WAS [356], Q [12345], F [124], space 6 times, D [145], ER [12456], HIS [236].
Row 8: full cell, OF [12356], GG [2356] ten times, WITH [23456], full cell.
Row 9: space 6 times, E [15], I [24].
End Design.
Drawing Notes:
This small bell is a double dot outline for the most part, although some areas are wider to get the required feel and look of a bell. The clapper is just slightly showing out of the bottom as this extra length allows for the strike to be along the bottom edge when swung. This little bell could be colored silver, bronze or gold, that depends on which metal it was made from.
This bigger bell might inspire you to make some cards. Graduation? Wedding? Christmas? New Year?
Would this bell decorate our large mug?
BELL 02, Solid
By: Richard Hinkle
This bell was inspired by the bell in Edith West’s Holiday Wreath number 2.
Design is 9 Rows, 14 cells.
Note: Full size picture is on the last full page of this document.
Begin design:
Row 1: space 5 times, dot 6, GG [2356] two times, dot 3.
Row 2: space 5 times, full cell 4 times.
Row 3: space 4 times, dots 3456, full cell 4 times, V [1236].
Row 4: space 3 times, WAS [356], full cell 6 times, HIS [236].
Row 5: space 3 times, full cell 8 times.
Row 6: space 2 times, dots 56, full cell 8 times, dots 23.
Row 7: space 1 time, WAS [356], full cell 10 times, HIS [236].
Row 8: full cell 14 times.
Row 9: space 6 times, E [15], I [24].
End Design.
Drawing Notes:
This small bell is a solid to get the full feeling of the bell. This design looks heavier than the outline and may feel that way also.
Can you distinguish between bell 01 and 02? Which feels better to you? Whick looks better to your sighted friend? One bell is not better than the other; they are different, which gives me an idea of another bell to draw for you.
