7000 Bracelets of Hope is an initiative from the Global Genes | RARE project, which is an advocacy organization for individuals with rare and genetic diseases. Their symbol is a denim ribbon, a play on genes=jeans. You can find more about the Global Genes project on their website (https://globalgenes.org/). This organization started the 7000 Bracelets of Hope initiative to provide blue-themed bracelets to families fighting rare and genetic diseases. The idea is that these bracelets give support and a little hope to these families. As well, the unifying blue theme may help spread awareness.
Hope Smitherman of ZnetShows called out to jewelry designers to participate in a lightening round challenge. We were allowed to pick two choices of blue beads to begin our projects. The completed bracelets will go to 7000 Bracelets of Hope!
I chose some 10mm round sea glass beads in a light blue, as well as a strand of 12mm round navy blue pearls.

Here are my Lightening Round Designs.
I participated in a challenge for BoH a while back. I packed up the bracelets, and then misplaced the box. Took me a while to find them, but I did. Now I will add these goodies to the lot and send them out. Thank you ZnetShows and CraftyHope for sponsoring the challenge.
Renetha, (I think I just commented on yours when I thought I was writing on someone else's blog. I've got entirely too many tabs open right now. Please disregard the last comment and I do apologize for that.)
ReplyDeleteI really love what you did with the blue beads. The sea glass is heavenly and the pearls are really elegant. I'm glad you've got a few extra designs to include as well because I'm sure they'll be appreciated. Thanks for participating!
Beautiful beads, beautiful bracelets!
