on a bracelet

I found this on a student's bracelet. She was very happy to lend me it so I could continue with my work. She also thought learning about the symbol was cool. Unfortunately she is taking Spanish. Oh well.

on a shirt

It may seem like I am just randomly asking guys if I can take pictures of their chests, er I mean, shirts, and I am. On clothing is where you can find plenty of FDLs. I told this guy I saw in a shop about my hobby and he agreed to let me photograph his chest, er I mean shirt.

on a sign

Where I live in Pennsylvania and west used to be part of New France, so there are a lot of place names that still have French names. I found this plaque in Oil City, PA while a friend and I were antiquing.

on a ring

A friend of mine and local waitress had this ring on one day. I was instantly jealous. I told her about my project and she let me photograph it. Unfortunately a few weeks later she lost the ring in a natural outdoor spa. Glad I snapped a picture!

on a book

When I was working at school earlier this year, I noticed one of the covers of a book that a student was reading. When they went to lunch I snapped a photo of the cover. It is decorated with Fleur de Lis.
