This weekend was time for the Beads of Courage Bead Challenge. A bunch of beady eyed folks, myself included, got together to lampwork beads for kids with serious illnesses.  Read more about Beads of Courage last year here. You can watch a video about the Beads of Courage organization here.

I made things with eyeballs. I am told that beads with eyes are in high demand.

I left having made a parliament of owls, a mob of frogs, a rave of snakes, a colony of salamanders, and a fish or two. They all had eyeballs.
