For 18 years, making beads for BOC has been a driving force in my Lampworking journey. I read about BOC in a moving article written by Sharon Peters. Shortly after, I met Sharon and watched her Demo her BOC Blue Monkey bead. I realized that I could help by mobilizing my Lampworking teacher and our small class to participate in BOC. My enthusiastic teacher got all her classes to contribute. We sent around 350 beads to BOC!

I have been making beads for over 20 years. After hearing Jean Gribbon speak at the Minnesota Gathering about Beads of Courage, I left the auditorium in tears and promised to make as many beads as possible for this organization. I have made thousands of beads for the program. For this challenge, I chose a lion because he represents strength and courage.

I made some of the beads that I am donating to Beads of Courage using tutorials from ISGB. They were both video tutorials. Jelveh Jaferian did a great turtle tutorial. Jeri Warhaftig had a very competent and sweet young girl do hers of axolotls.
