Hot off the loom! Johnny Blackbird has created yet another stunning story hat band. This is the Medicine Bird on a bone-white background. The red-winged blackbird has feathers edged in dark and medium blue. Click here for more info and pics of this hat band.
Also, I just had to share this review because it is everything I have always felt about Johnny Blackbird’s story hat bands. I just love how when people take ownership of these wonderfully unique story hat bands, it is almost as if the story was written especially for them. I know I felt that way with mine and I guess that is why I try to bring them to peoples’ attention as much as I can. This is a Medicine Turtle hat band that was sold recently. I have posted a photo and an excerpt from Johnny Blackbird’s blog with the story, followed by a touching and well deserved review.

The medicine turtle on the front with strong medicine on his shell, is an old turtle on a journey toward the stars. This turtle is going to the west and is near the end of his path through the illusion. The turtle is walking on his black path, the color of completion and return to our ancestors. Next block is the red road inside peaceful and calm arrows that contain the sun and the moon (yellow and white). Our turtle is walking a dark red path where his steps will be peaceful guided by honor, humility and compassion. In the center of each side is the Great Mystery with its energy star. The blocks are linked together just like the elements of life. The sun star lives on one side and the moon star on the other. Their energy along with that of the mystery keeps turtle moving towards his ultimate goal of freedom.
Review from TeriBennette – 8th July 2018
This was a gift for my brother who is now 62, and he was so overcome by the gift itself, but also the story that it was based upon. He will be the patriarch of the family after our father leaves us, and it will be a reminder to stay on that Red Road we all know will lead us Home. I thank you for making such a beauty; I feel the Love and Guidance from it. I know he will cherish this hat band the rest of his days! Continue on in Beauty, Johnny Blackbird.
Beautiful work.
