Beading for a Cure is a two-fold project. It’s a fundraiser for colorectal cancer, and it’s a challenge to bead with a palette that someone else chooses. The provider of the beads in the piece below was Sandi from Stormcloud, and the year before, Beki from Out on a Whim. This project was started in memory of a beader who died of the disease, Layne. My piece will be in the first round of auctions.

Now’s your chance to start bidding on the pieces that we made last year! There are 6 weeks of auctions; my piece is in the first round, starting today! Here’s the link to the auction schedule, take a look at what’s up this week.

Here’s my piece:

(old pictures, I think I could do better now)

It’s a great cause, and an interesting challenge. Check out what others have made with the same kit of beads (I added the green; one bead may be added to the palette of beads selected by the generous provider.).
