Time to Try Out Your New Skills
Hot Glass for Cool Kids is officially a hit, now it's time to work your way through the tutorials and exercise your new hot glass skills. Beads of Courage is flat OUT of Act of Courage and Long-Term Follow Up beads. I know that we received bit donations at The Gathering, but the the demand is great. This means back-orders and a wait for the kids. Please fire up those torches!
We've got a new challenge in the works that might bring some goodies back your way. More on that as soon as we get the details sorted out.
In the mean time, sort through our stash or spend a little time sharpening up on the new ideas. I'll be firing up and I that hope you will, too.
Thanks for all that you do for Beads of Courage!
Robert

Robert, I'll go thru my stash and send some in asap plus I just made some of the teeth from the book of tuts I'll send in. I don't torch much in the summer but when the cool weather sets in I'll get busy for sure. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I've got a small bowl started, but I'll put a couple of sessions in ASAP & get them sent in. I also have 40+ ready to go to ThatFritGirl from her frit challenge, so I will put those in the mail to her today.

Driving these (plus one or two more) to the PO today, but they'll go by way of ThatFritGirl because they're part of her Frit Challenge for BOC.

I posted on my Facebook... I am committing 2 hours every day for the next week to making BoC beads. I normally do make 1-2 each session, but it seems like right now y'all need a larger influx to help with this shortage.
I'm gonna try my best to make oodles and oodles! To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
