So I was jamming to Happy Feet while making another bracelet. This one is different. This particular bracelet is for a friend of mine. His name is Josh. The bracelet is black hemp cord braided with three beads set in a design. He asked for a special request.....
Happy Feet is an interesting movie. The question is, are we really helping out the penguins and their food chain or are we screwing them over? Are we fishing in their territory and stealing their fish? They are part of the ecosystem too. It isn't a surprise that they haven't risen up and taken over the world since we seem to be messing up their food.
Well, that was random, penguin-ish and very off topic.......
Back to the bracelet.
This is it. I used my own twist of a braid, using thirteen strands, four strands for section with a fifth strand in the middle section. I braided up to a pre-chosen spot where I pulled out the fifth strand, tied a knot then strung the beads as follows: clear triangle, peridot cube, clear triangle and knotted after the triangle. I smoothly braided the loose strand into the braid itself, thus completing the hemp cord bracelet.
