Beaded Knitted Bracelet

I decided I needed some bling bling, so when my husband offered to take me to a crafts store (which is right next door to a tools shop), I obliged. There I found some turquoise-ish beads in both shiny and matte finishes that would go with a yarn I had in mind. A few hours later, I had my colorful bracelet.

You are the wind beneath my feathered ears...

I've been seeing lots of these around the mall, and decided I could make them myself. So after a trip to Hobby Lobby and some trial and error - voila! I made myself a pair. I have more supplies so I'm thinking of making more. It's sort of a nostalgic throwback to... I don't know... hippies in the Southwest?
You'll need some countour feathers, wooden beads, fish hook wires and some tools.
Lightweight and subtle, yet dramatic
Native American inspired
I got this from my sisters in the mail... another piece that will be pinned to my boring cube wall.
