Did it!

Whew!! Laura's Diva Challenge this week was to tangle some beads for Beads of Courage. (Click on either link for more information about this touching program for kids with serious illnesses) I honestly didn't think I'd get this challenge completed in time even though I knew in my head what I wanted to do. So I sat myself down and drew it out, shaded and colored all in maybe half an hour? I so love tangling and completing a project in such a short amount of time!

I wanted my string to be a heart for these precious kids who are so brave and then when I'd sketched in my beads, I realized I had a bead for each letter of the word Courage, so each tangle pattern begins with these letters (Cack, Ojo, Unyun, Rose, Aah, Gewurtz, Efilys) and the heart is just for love.

TaDa!
