2008 Bead-It-Forward
I recently completed my squares for Jeanette Shanigan's Bead-It-Forward Breast Cancer Donation project. This is my second year to participate. You can see photos of the squares received so far by checking Jeanette's site here.
The beaded portion of the square is 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (3.8 x 3.8 cm), so they bead up quick! The theme this year is roses. I found these wonderful little vintage rose beads on Ebay.

Leaves of Grass
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body
- Walt Whitman

Great squares. It's a good take on the rose theme. I'll go look at that link.
those are nice. great job.
by the way/posted instructions on my blog for creating faux cupcakes if you are interested.
The rose beads are wonderful.
You have been a very, very busy beader! You are just going at it full force. And best of all - it's always for someone "else!" You are amazing.
Thanks friends, glad you like them. I love those little beads, so small yet great detail.
GardenGoose - thanks for the note on the faux cupcakes instructions - much appreciated!
