Defying Gravity Bracelet

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:24:08 -0500

$2.50
Subtly show your love of Wicked and your geeky side at the same time with this bracelet.

This necklace is made with glass Miyuki and Matsuno seed beads in green and black, strung on a stretchy cord. It is almost 7" around. This is a very lightweight bracelet, interesting enough to wear on its own, or combine with multiple binary bracelets and leave people wondering.

To decode this bracelet, count off groups of 8 beads, each group standing for one digit. Replace the black beads with 0, and the green beads with 1.

A great way to remind yourself that everyone deserves a chance to fly.
