I am so happy to be in on next year's Beading for a Cure fundraiser. This will be my second year as a participating bead artist. I was a bit nervous wondering what the kit this year would contain. Last year's kit was gorgeous and it was so easy to make something beautiful with it. I was keeping my fingers crossed that the color story would be pretty. . . . and it is!
Look at these beauties!
Glorious! Simply Glorious!
I zipped over to my local fabric store for some inspiration.
Oohh baby - lookie what I found in the fat quarter bin!
Oh yes, indeed - that'll work.
Ironically, the clerk told me she just found it and put it in the bin not 10 minutes before I walked in the door. She's not sure where it came from and that was the only piece.
Timing is everything, I always say.
The rules allow for one bead type to be added to the kit. I knew my addition would be that bright blue hue and I just so happened to have some in my stash.
Here's a tiny peek of what I've got so far - a border of my favorite "zipper" stitch.
Ok, so I really don't know what the stitch is called (if anything), but I think it looks like a zipper, so that's what I call it :)
I hope everyone reading this will take the time to jump over to this year's auctions (see sidebar) and place a bid on a beautiful beaded piece. All proceeds go to the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance. Thanks!!
