We use larger beads for really special Acts of Courage and we find ourselves desperately short on them. If you've got some honkers laying around waiting to find their purpose in this life, I have the very thing. Check your stash and if you could send in some big 'ole beads we sure would appreciate it.

Thanks for all you do for Beads of Courage - every bead counts.

Oh yeah, I've got some big ones I can send too. Many that I don't want my name associated with....but hopefully someone will look deep down and see the beauty where I can't. :)

I'm hoping to be out there making things tomorrow. Once I finish the ones I need to do, I'll work on some.
How big is "big"?

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong place this morning.

The link to the donation form with the mailing address is here:

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Yeah, size is a relative thing, isn't it? I'd say anything that's focal size or over 1 1/4 inch long should qualify as a big bead.

Don't worry if the beads aren't always beautiful to you. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and working with the kids and the donated beads has brought that home to me. Some of my own that I thought were pretty strange have turned out to be a child's treasure. They see things that we don't.

Thanks much,
Robert

Will go thru my stash next week and send a box. All my beads are pretty much honkers. :)

Hi Robert, will see if I can design a 1"ish compact fish that will be less vulnerable than the standard ones I make. Can't wait for Hoy's event!!

He said before focal sized, at least 1 1/4" I think.
