Your bead on the Space Shuttle?
Whaddya think? Would you like your bead to travel on the space shuttle? Yes, THE space shuttle. When it returned maybe it could even be given to a Beads of Courage kid?
Stay tuned to find out how!

I'd probably make newer versions - less delicate for sure - so they'd be a lasting treasure for a recipient!
I'm book-marking this thread!

Ok, here we go! It's a fundraiser/contest for Beads of Courage and even if your bead doesn't make it, it will provide lots of good mojo elsewhere!
Here is the pdf application and details. Please feel free to spread the word to all of the glass beadmakers you know! I'll be putting the form up on the site and blog soon too.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
We're alotted about 8 oz of beads. Based on the size requested for the contest, that comes out to about 35 beads. But, if we get smaller or more lightweight beads, more will be included!

What a treat for a planetary bead to take the Big Ride, and make a courageous kid smile all in one! This one has me picking up a mandrel!

De, those beads are so cute!!! Love them!
Just a note here too...if anyone has any 'experiment' beads that you don't think would sell or see light outside the studio, while you're working up your winning bead, feel free to send those on as extras to give to the kids.
I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Try not to show them here until after the jurying though! It will be a fun surprise.

Also, spring's a great time to clean your studio and send beads to BoC... To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Every bead is used and has a home - clean, annealed, and sturdy are the best!

What a fabulous way to bring awareness to the program. Have you thought about contacting some of the networks? This would be a great human interest story.

I've indicated that we need to get some big publicity on this!!! We're having our yearly board meeting this weekend along with a big fundraiser so I'm sure we'll touch on that. I'm hoping that NASA has some publicity working too!

Does anyone have any "famous" connections? A recognizable name can open a lot of doors.
My sister and I are involved in a group doing a Gilda's Club benefit and the Chairman is Dave Coulier's niece. He's promoted it on his website and Facebook, they covered in on TMZ, he did radio and news interviews, etc. Last year was our first year and we sold out our venue and raised over $50k.

My Brother in Law (Tony Ceccacci) is Flight Director for NASA and I think that might even be his flight, were so proud of him To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

I'm so sad to see the flights coming to an end, with the planned Space Shuttle retirement later this year, that we will depend solely on non-USA spacecraft for the trip to and return of US crewmembers from the ISS.
If you need any thing just ask, I'll see what I can do. I think this idea ROCKS!! What a wonderful way to bring attention to BOC To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Mine went out last week - I'm desperate to see what folks are sending in - the space theme lends itself to so many fun ideas!
