Tiny Glacier Beaded Bracelet

This little bracelet was designed during a major heat wave, when it was too hot to wear any big or heavy jewelry. I was trying to keep a cool state of mind by looking at pictures of Antarctica, and kept seeing the beautiful blue water with the towering walls of ice, and felt compelled to translate that image into something I could wear, on a very small scale, since it was even too hot for most jewelry!
