These are all actually a really pretty (and cheery) transparent purple, (well except for the ones that are red!) but the black acrylic riser made them look so dark! I didn't realize it until I had already sent them in, so I didn't retake the photo. oh well. at least you can see the dichro!

I make 100 of butterflies every December for Oakland Childrens Hospital, Oakland Kaiser, and the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. Haven't ever taken pictures of the bead donations from our SGB Norcal members, but we broke 10,000 a long time ago... We're able to totally support the three hospitals, and the leftovers (lots!) go to BOC, usually at a Gathering. BOC became our chapter's primary charitable activity when Oakland Children's signed up - I think it was the 3rd hospital that joined BOC, way back when. Just love doing this, and I get to meet kids and their moms when I make deliveries.

I don't do sculptural well, I don't make murrini and I can't draw. Here's what I came up with - thinking of something more subtle for men. Too subtle? It's etched transparent cobalt blue with the hole going horizontally and off center so it hangs well. Pardon the fur - it's everywhere and there are no scratches even though it looks like it.

Lindag and Nitad, I your butterflies are wonderful. Different people like different style and it's great to see the variety...it helps us all to have more ideas too.
I think the etched, more simple blue is more masculine and some of the boro pendants with loops too!

I was never happy with my butterflies until I tried using my Gaffer and Val Cox veiled cane. Nikki posted some butterfly beads in this thread and a light bulb went off in my head. I have lots of veiled cane. I tweaked her design a little and came up with this way of making these beads. Check out my blog for step by step pictures.

NICE!!!!
I just love seeing big piles of beads ready to be mailed. The frit ones are always so unique and interesting...I imagine the kids and their parents gazing into them since the designs seem to morph into whatever the viewer wants to see.
Thanks Leslie!!!

Heres my batch to send in.......I sent some a few years ago but now I'm going to try to send in monthly.
The colorful ones have murrini that I got from Lori & Kim, first time buying from them cause I wanted more of a variety than what I can make LOL
Some of them have two and some have one. They are my faves to make!!
The elmo and friends has been tough around here, my daughter swiped the first elmo and and earnie for my grand daughter so I had to make another then my little one has been screaming for them too! LOL They are fun to make other wise!! LOL
I love cupcakes.........YUM!!
Also, the butterfly, is it ok for a butterfly bead? I want to etch the butterfly first but was wondering if I should make anymore?
Sue
