Ryo has done a number of these feather style beads over the years, but of all the ones I've seen, this one is the sweetest, and it was hand-picked from all of those trips to see him. The detail is just soooooo perfect, and again, I have no idea how he does this, ha - I love it when I'm stumped! A real gem here, don't miss it, a hard one to let go of!
