Latest Beadies

Some colours to cheer us all up!

Ok first of all, here are my butterflies. They are for beads of courage - normally all the beads go to the children but the butterflies have special meaning because they go to the parents of the children who have lost the fight.
A few of my lampie buddies have said they can't make them because they get too sad, but it feels cathartic for me, and I know that if someone was out there making things with love to help commemorate something that had happened to me I know I would find that very special. So here are my little dudes:

Then, I put up this week's creations, which I also blogged because it's a massive 'I've got no mojo' kind of set, where I picked a colour and a technique - ie dots - and just kept at it. I really love the set and am actually considering doing the same thing in blue today!

I've also done a few bhb's which I have cored and they are waiting for photographs so I'll come back with them. I'm going to brave Ebay with them I think.

I love the butterflies and what they represent is just lovely. Gorgeous beads as ever and you are tempting me with murrini it's really pretty.

Love the butterfly symbolism, can understand why some could not make them, takes someone special.

Some corkers amid the greens.

The butterflies are brilliant and what a wonderful idea. I love the flowery ones as well.
