Bramble the Kitewright | Red Squirrel Adoptable

The story of Bramble the Kitewright

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The indigo overalls have rolled cuffs and a leather pouch filled with the tools of the trade. A green scarf swings away from the character’s shoulder, and ribbons stream from the lower corner of the kite. The two pieces of fabric show the direction and strength of the same breeze.

Bramble walks up to the windmill before taking a new frame out to fly. The miller can tell by the sails whether the gusts will hold or drop. On steady mornings, Bramble starts with a short length of line and lets the kite pull it out an arm’s length at a time.

The diamond kite is built from slender rods tied together at the crossing. Each ribbon on its tail was cut from an old piece of market bunting. The largest red strip belonged to the stall where Bramble first learned to sew an even edge across a panel of cloth.

This character has a place in any hillside village that gathers outdoors when the weather clears. The large russet tail, loose work clothes and brightly patterned kite make Bramble recognizable even from the opposite slope.
