Dipwads Making Beads for Beads of Courage
Our local beady group (we are the Dipwads) gets together once a month, and twice a year we rent the West Michigan Glass Art Center so we can all torch all together.
This year, we made beads for Beads of Courage all day (well, til about 3:30 when the kilns were too full To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

That is wonderful! Looks like a lot of fun, plus so many beads for the kids, win-win!
I wish there was a group here to do that with, and a place to do it all together. I went out & tried to make some tonight to add to what I have, but I'm so sloooow I didn't get many made. Every bead counts though I guess.
