Astronomy Beadwork

Presenting here:

Creating beaded necklaces is a beautiful way to demonstrate the distances between the planets in our Solar System, or the orbit distances of neighboring planets. Planets, moons, and asteroids are enlarged for dramatic emphasis.* *Not for use in actual space navigation
