SABOS 2007 Challenge Bead

Each year the President of SABOS chooses a special, unique or crazy bead for members to challenge themselves to create a piece of beautiful art work. The 2007 Challenge Bead was unveiled at our meeting on February 14th, 2007. You may purchase yours at any SABOS meeting. Only $1.00 per strand.

What do you do with the Challenge Bead? Make anything you want and then bring it to the SABOS Party in May. There is only one rule - whatever you make must include at least one Challenge Bead.
