This is the last year for Beading For a Cure, where participants buy a kit of beads, sight unseen, and create something using at least one of every bead to sell at auction. Proceeds from the auction go to fight colorectal cancer, in memory of Layne Shilling, a beader who lost her life to the disease.

The necklace above is my contribution to BFAC this year, and bidding ends Sunday night. Please bid if you’d like, or see what the rest of the shop holds – you might find something else that you love.
