October 2008
Beaders are very generous souls, often creating jewelry and other projects in order to raise money for causes that are dear to their hearts or for someone special. Awareness ribbons are an especially popular symbol. Check out these awareness ribbon-inspired pieces by Beading Daily members, as well as the Remembrance Ribbon Earrings by Sandra Lupo and the Awareness Ribbon Pin by Kerrie Slade. See the contests page for upcoming challenges and contests.

"I made this necklace shortly after making my squares for the 2008 bead quilt, and the pink artist project. I had pink ribbon dreams for a long time. My step-grandmother was a two-time survivor of breast cancer. I wish no one would have to deal with this cancer, or any other for that matter." |

"I made this bracelet for a fundraiser my daughter participates in called 'Volley for the Cure.' I donated bracelets for raffle and door prizes that are given away thruout the evening during breaks in the games. All proceeds from the event went to the Susan G. Koman fund."

"A few years ago I had several requests for Breast Cancer Awareness jewelry so I created my own design in a bracelet I call Hattie’s Hope in honor of my Great Aunt Hattie who passed away from breast cancer."

Kathy Myers
"I created a similar bracelet with pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness. My mother was a 30-year survivor. This bracelet shows how one bracelet can support multiple causes."
