Default Beads of Courage Gallery

I'm starting this as a spot for everyone to share beads they've sent to Beads of Courage, for inspiration. I'm hoping for it to be just a Gallery thread, not chit-chat so we can all just enjoy.

What a neat idea. I typically don't take pictures before I mail them but here are a few.

The orange and pink butterflies are my own butterfly cane. Those are a bit complicated, though Loren Stump teaches a good class in making them. The others are copper enamel butterflies. There will be a tutorial on those in the next issue of The Bead Release.

The big batch is from one of our Southern Flames BeadaThons and the little white holiday beads are a batch that I made last year.

Wow, such wonderful work you guys! I sent my first donation right before Christmas; I received a wonderful Certificate for my small contribution - it wasn't much, but the acknowledgment brought tears to my eyes!

I am so hopeful that these little fellas went to the kids in time for the holidays - and hopefully, brought smiles and courage to their darling little faces:

lol...I think there was about 2,000 beads in that batch. It's amazing how many beads we create that we have in boxes. I was pretty shocked at it all. I have another shoebox full but haven't had time to go through them yet. I hope the kids like them.

Thanks, Fran. I adore your tree bead and I keep thinking about how clever it was to do your bunny with the ears "drawn on," instead of protruding, so that the bead will be sturdy.

Thanks Felicia. LOL I was thinking the same thing about your butterflies, they would be sturdy too. The butterflies would be great on a heart-shaped base bead.

I had fun adding Jodie McDougall's (Glasswhimz) murrini to the purple hearts.

I make the sculptural butterflies out of boro, but decided to come up with a soft glass design for when I don't want to switch. I really think it takes as long to make one of these as a boro one because there are so many layers of dots.

That's a very nice butterfly, Kathy. I like the faces on the hearts, too. I hadn't thought of that and have a ton of my own face cane in the studio.

I seriously think those beads multiply in the night. I keep finding boxes of them stashed away that I had forgotten about.

Great job Irene and everyone.

I individually zip-loc bagged about 25 red, purple and pink hearts with raised flowers. I should have taken a picture first. I'll take a picture of the box.
