So cute Lezlie ! I want to try the polar bear one of these days. He's so cute.
I hope so too Eileen.
I have 28 ready to go and about 10 more in the kiln now.

Great job everyone. I'm having a terrible time getting my limited skills back since I got the cast off my arm. You guys are such an inspiration. Do I understand correctly that you can't send beads to the program unless you have 30? Also, no silver glass? I need so much ppp.

Marla, I think the 30 beads at a time was just a "jumping off" point. In other words, if you got 'em, send 'em in no matter the count. lol ! I think that was really more of a suggestion than a rule.
No silver foil and or silver glass unless it's encased well. You can find all the rules on the BOC website.
Well, just ran out of propane as I was making the last bead for the day ! lol ! How lucky is that. With yesterdays and todays beads thats another about 12 to 15 added to the 28.

BOC
Well, I got a little bit of a jump on the BOC beads I am working on.. I will be working with TN and I am excited.
I did a couple of shells to start with, going to do some of the shells in Diane W's tutorial and the Monkey Shines are in the BOC Hot glass for cool kids: tutorial by Sharon Peters.. The other odds and ends are also from the BOC book..

Pat and Dott, the beads are wonderful! Pat, your pumpkins are going to make the kids smile. They definitely made me smile!
Dott, so many bright and cheerful beads. I don't envy the kids having to make their choices. The wonderful thing about them getting to choose their act of courage bead is that it takes their mind off of their illness for awhile and allows them to focus their energy on something positive.

Ok finally, got a few more added (56 here in all) so they're outta here tomorrow ! Hope the kids like them. I had tons of fun making all of them but I must admit, my favs were the polar bears.

Incredible! When I look at all of those beads and see the beautiful colors all I can think of is how much joy they will bring to the kids in BOC.
