Default 2013 Iditarod Beads on the Trail BOC call to artists

Alaska Beads of Courage artists are calling all LE artists to rise to the BOC Iditarod Challenge. This will be our second year of collecting lampwork beads to ride the exciting trail of the last great race on earth. Beads collected will be packaged along with the official BOC pewter Husky, musher thank you note, and a card to return with the bead with a personal note from the musher (last year, lead dog paw prints were also sent). Returned beads will be auctioned off at the annual Mushers sendoff and at the annual Alaska BOC flame off.

Note to artists - suitable beads are those that can survive a 998 mile dog sled ride through the coldest and most beautiful country on earth. Of course we will be packaging your artwork for the ride and all pieces returned last year survived the trip. See the following link on facebook for an album of what we did last year (

).

We will let each artist know which musher is carrying your artwork so you can track them on the trail. There are 69 Mushers committed at this point so please help us meet the goal of each of them carrying a handmade bead.

All beads due to Artmosphere Studio by Feb 24 to be packaged up. Delivery to mushers is on Thursday, Feb 28 to ready for the March 2 race start date.

Please send your bead to:

Artmosphere Studio
801 East 82nd Avenue, Unit 16A
Anchorage, Alaska. 99518

Please provide your contact information as well as your LE id.

thanks much in advance

Laura

the amusing thing for me is that I was a kid of 10-12 racing my own team so it is even more appropriate

you have had my beads since the 21st my businesses card was inside from morgan and nicolinas flameworked glass. it was sent to the above address and I put attn beads of courage on the label.
besides the beads there was a clear glass egg with a blue swirl
Please let me know that you have them, hopefully usps actually delivered it to the correct address.
They where a donation but they where all firsts so it is a rather big loss

Morgan, they are checking the neighbors shops. We are handing out to mushers Friday so will let you know when we track them down.

Kimberly, you can start prepping for 2014 and send them in when you get a chance.

We will be calling for beads for 2014 as well, so yes, please start planning! Last year we had everyone make 11 beads - 1 for the trail and 10 replicas to go for fund raising at our Childhood Cancer Awarness Month event in September (the replicas were sold BOGO - Buy one - Give one to BOC, so an even number of replicas is requested). This year we were so late getting started we just wanted beads - and thanks to the amazing lampworking community out there on LE and Facebook - we got them!

BEST NEW of the day! The missing box of boro beads from Morgan and Nicolina has been found! The postman put it into the package box, but didn't give us a key in our box. Today my studio mate sat at the mailboxes all morning till he showed up so she could ask him in person. They will be delivered by Iditarod Communications Director Erin McLarnon tomorrow morning at the ceremonial start. She asked for a list of all mushers that didn't take one yesterday at the mushers meeting and will personally ask them to carry the remaining beads. Any beads left over after that will go to Nome with Iditarod Trail Committee staff. It might be a cushier ride than on the sleds, but they will get to Nome!
