52 little things week 38 and 39

Good afternoon, here are my super special 52 little things beads for week 38 and 39 for Beads of Courage. September is International Childhood Cancer Awareness month and I have designed these beads with gold awareness ribbons especially for September.

There is a little tutorial on my blog to show how they were done, you can check it out HERE

Another little project that I have been helping with recently is a special page on the Be Child Cancer Aware website especially for Lampworkers to be able to share their Beads of Courage tutorials.

There are 7 fabulous tutes on there at the moment that have been created by talented UK bead makers, Emma Green, Laney Mead, Trudi Doherty and Helen Vanek. If you would like to make some beads for BoC kids and are looking for inspiration then pop along and check it out.

Off to the shed now, catch you later, Jolene x

52 little things week 36 and 37

I am playing catch up with my 52 week project in September, my kiln has been out of action and had to go in for repair which meant no beads...

I had planned to make bright yellow beads this month as it is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and so here are my bold bright zingy sunny yellow beads for Week 36 and 37.

Hopefully they will go down a treat with the Beads of Courage kids.

I've also written a little tutorial showing how to make a gold and black flat cane to use for creating the Awareness Ribbon detail - you can find it on my blog here
