Again, maybe.  The medallions are to be incorporated with this; I believe I have an idea

Maybe.

If I decide I like this, I need to make 4 more. They will be used with tension, which should smooth out the oval around the cab.  I simply kept adding beads, and now it’s more ornate than my typical beadwork. The advantage of ornate is that I’ve used all the required beads except for the bronze 8s.

BFAC 2011, step 2

Spot’s getting bigger! The thread tails are hidden underneath the beadwork, not woven in. I have to take care of that before moving on. Working with doubled thread, for increased ability to hold a structure, makes this take even longer and less appealing to do. I am hoping I’ll talk myself into doing this tonight.

The 2010 Beading for a Cure auctions are going wonderfully — take a look at what’s listed now!

I believe 75 kits were sold for next year’s auctions, to raise money to help eradicate colorectal cancer. The rules of the challenge require participants to use at least one bead of each of the beads in the kit, and to add only one bead. There’s a new dimension to next year, a competition with a very generous listing of donated prizes, judged by respected beaders Jeannette Cook, Marcia DeCoster, Diane Fitzgerald, and Sherry Serafini.

Here are the beads:

Notice that they are all fairly subdued in value, in popular colors of bronze and purple. I added the turquoise glass cabochon. Since it’s undrilled, it doesn’t count as my extra bead, so my added bead will likely also be turquoise. IF I go this route!
