A New BOC Challenge -- 30 Beads in April
 
I'd like to offer a new BOC challenge for April, after Debbie's awesome challenge in March.

April has 30 days. For everyone who makes 30 BHKBs (big honking kid beads) in April and posts a photo of them here, I will send you a 2 oz. jar of one of my frit blends (or two 1 oz. jars).

The beads should be 1.5 inches long or wide, in any design of your choice, and you must post a picture by May 1 and mail them no later than the first week of May.

Looking forward to seeing your beads!

How great of you Elizabeth! I'll be making some for sure, and will post a picture if I get to 30 (and I should!).

I am really hoping I can do it!!

RSimmons 2012-04-04 5:57pm

Sounds great - thanks for running the challenge!

My pleasure Robert. And you can do it Debbie.

I hope we get some good participation. Please post some photos as you go.

I'm challenging myself too. I made 3 hearts today. :)

Melinda 2012-04-04 10:24pm

oooh, I am really gonna try to get this one done.

Eileen 2012-04-04 10:27pm

No problem either way, but I'm reading this that we should actually melt the glass for these in April, correct?

I've got three words for ya....

BRING IT ON

Yes, 30 beads in April is the goal.

But if you have beads already made that didn't count toward Debbie's challenge, that would be fine too.

The idea is to get additional beads donated for the BOC kiddos.

Eileen 2012-04-05 5:30pm

I got a little torching in today, just enough to get a few beads made for BOC and one test bead for me. I'll be back out there ASAP!

pierces*designs 2012-04-05 7:45pm

I really really want my oxycon to come in so I can do this. :(

carolinesbeads 2012-04-06 5:53pm

I made 3 butterfly beads so far, I posted them in another thread and I dont want to repeat:) I will work on some more this month. It is a very generous offer Elizabeth, thank you.

rosebud101 2012-04-06 5:55pm

I'll give it a try!

Elizabeth Beads 2012-04-06 7:04pm

Let's make this a little easier. I won't hold you to all big beads, just 30 beads of any size for BOC. If you can make them big, all the better, but don't let size matter (too much). ;)

Glowbead 2012-04-07 5:13am

Count me in.

rosebud101 2012-04-11 11:15am

Here are my 30 beads. I have smaller ones in my BOC bowl. They will go out soon! A lot of these beads are closer to 2 inches than 1.5.

Thank you Mallory! Do you want to pick your 2 colors from my frit store (in my Etsy link below).

Who else wants to play? :)

Eileen 2012-04-11 3:27pm

I've only got 11 or 12 done, but I'm working on it. :D

Nice group of beads Mallory!

rosebud101 2012-04-11 6:34pm

Thanks, Eileen!
Thanks, Elizabeth. How about: Gallimaufry and Elisium? I'm going to have to order from you next month!

Elizabeth Beads 2012-04-11 6:54pm

Good choices! If you aren't in RAOGK pm me your addy. I will get them mailed either tomorrow or next week when I get back from my trip. :)

CheriB 2012-04-11 7:21pm

Elizabeth,
That's a great offer, and I can't wait to make the beads. Will post a pic towards the end of the month.

You are so generous and for a good cause. I will try, but any I do will go to BOC anyway.

SerendipityArtGlass 2012-04-14 7:02pm

I'm going to try. Generous offer Elizabeth. Thank you.

rosebud101 2012-04-16 1:11pm

Elizabeth, thank you! I received my frit today! Implan to put it to good use tomorrow!

Eileen 2012-04-16 1:21pm

Show pictures! :D

rosebud101 2012-04-16 2:43pm

Check out Post #16.

Eileen 2012-04-16 2:49pm

I love your beads, but I want pictures of the ones you make with the frit too, I'm greedy! :D

pierces*designs 2012-04-18 3:06am

I haven't torched this month yet. I hope to sooN!!

CheriB 2012-04-18 3:51am

Hi, just an update. I have 30 already, but the month's only half over, so I'll make more!

Hardalee 2012-04-18 7:56pm

Okay, I've been torching away and have 31 bunny rabbits all ready to go. I'll mail them tomorrow and keep making more to see how many I can get done in April.

Here's the warren:

Thanks for making this challenge Elizabeth. I'd love to try a sample of your Elysium and Boysenberry frits.

Thanx! Hardalee
