Green-beaded airplane
This colourful wire-framed and beaded take on a small aircraft cheerfully captures the spirit of freedom with its body in green beads with white stripes on the wings and towards the back where it finishes in a jaunty trio of red, white and blue beads. Approximately 18cm in length and 18.5cm wide but can be custom-made to any size.
