#56 The Sparrow Fund Paper Bead Wrap Bracelet

A fun and funky mix of seed and paper beads in bold and eye-catching green & purples. Will surely add a pop of fun and sweetness to any outfit. 

(Approx. 2 1/4" across, 1 1/2" tall, and 7 1/2" (19 cm.) around, made of adjustable memory wire that will open up to fit most either snugly or loosely as a dangle). 

The beads were created by refugee women currently living in Kenya, women broken from war and HIV, caring for orphans in their community, but made whole together. The individual hand-rolled paper beads made from recycled magazine and calendar pages take approximately 15 minutes each to roll and varnish to make a unique bead that no one believes started as paper. The varnish makes them durable and water resistant. However, keep them away from water as much as you can, and they will stay in perfect condition for a long long time.

#52 Organic Olive Airstream Tee


 This long sleeve t-shirt is 100% organic olive green, Size 4T. Stamped with an airstream carved out of linoleum and pressed using quality and safe screen printing ink. 

{ NOTE }
Each shirt is uniquely made by hand, and therefore cannot be *exactly* duplicated. It is also hand dyed which gives a beautiful color that may not always be perfectly even. I personally love it and think it ads to the shirt, giving it the vintage feel that I hope to produce in both the stamping and dyeing.

{ ORGANIC }
The shirts I purchase are organic shirts where the cotton is farmed in an environment that avoids toxic and persistent pesticides. These are fair trade and environmentally sustainable clothing from seed to shelf.
