Thank youuuuu    As for the score... I used to listen to the somewhat 8 minute movie version at times when I could not fall asleep, always great for calming down   

Wow ! Congratulations on this wonderful bracelet   

dear Minty,

thank you so much for this challenge, it was a great one!!!!

love all the beads and now it really makes sense with all the pictures, I really can see how much it must have been fun to assemble this great bracelet, what a great theme for your combo!!!

I am completely in love with the canoe, and log cabin and the elk,     
you must be very happy with your own designed beads, wish I could do that,
almost feel like getting the book now and read it again (read it as a child and think I have seen it too, but I am not sure)

Great thread, great challenge, THANK YOU!    

Minty, this is so imaginative, so thoughtful, I love it. They go together so well and I especially love your 3d beads, they set it off to a tee. Beautiful.

Thank you Catsworld   

I put together all the pics so you could see what I was thinking and imagining when I chose the beads.   
I'm glad you like the canoe, I carved the axe head first and needed an enternity to get it done and get the angles right and the little slit in the middle and then polishing it was soo tedious, the canoe felt much easier, I somewhat carved it freely out of the block, only messed it up once when I tried to carve some details into the 'hull'... had remove the mess again...     I wish I would have had some jeweller tools, I used a swiss pocket knife and several files including a nail file and for polishing a little nylon bead bag

Thank you    I regard them as my cherry on the ice cream although they feel more like a 'chunk'   

Absolutely totally stunning! This I call creativity and dedication! I love the story and the movies, old and new, I just wish that the last Mohican would not have had to be the last one... That part always makes me really sad.

Those are fantastic Minty! Great job finding so many meaningful beads (and making two as well!!)

What an inspired and beautiful bracelet. It is a work of art and depicts the subject perfectly.

WOW! this is the most inspired bracelet! i'm truly blown away by all the details, really! and it was such a pleasure looking at each grouping! congrats on finishing!!! (and lovely challenge!)

Squee!! Oooh I love your bracelet soo much, especially each bead and its meaning. Now I need to add Last of the Mohicans to my extremely long reading list.

It really is such an amazing bracelet. <3 <3

Whoa! It all makes sense and it is so well done!! I love that score, too. Very powerful. Fantastic bracelet! Wow.

  We are not worthy!   

Amazing ! I love all the carefully chosen beads and they all work together so well on the final bracelet, love it !

I see it all now. I have not seen this film   

Thank you so much ladies, I'm overwhelmed by all your positive feedback!

Ohhh you need to, who could resist Daniel Day-Lewis running around with flowing long hair   

I'm wondering if I could find someone in the UK who could do the same thing. It's such a brilliant idea, which creates a truly individual bracelet.

That is awesome! Love it from the challenge to the actual bracelet and beads! Well done!

What a splendid idea - thanks a lot for those wonderful pictures! I love the story and it is amazing how you put the story so vividly into a bracelet. My absolut favorit is the cabin log!

Great topic, great pictures and great combination!

Thank you every one, in case anyone is wondering, I put up a bead brand index under the bracelet picture.   

I don't think I can add much to what has already been said...but this is TOTALLY AMAZING!! How you were able to make your dream a reality, it's awe inspiring! Definitely a permanent one!!

What an amazingly clever bracelet! I wish had the ability to think ahead and plan out a themed bracelet like that. Thank you for showing the glass against the pictures; you've captured the colours so well.
