My bead was given to my husband at Northern Tools In Ft Myers, FL

He brought it home to me as agift. It is a lovey little green seahorse, funny i had seahorses as a kid and love them! Thanks!

Janel, I found the bead you released by the pay phone at the South Point Hotel in Las Vgeas during the bead show. He is so cute. I have named him Fergus and he sits on my computer.

I released 3 beads today,2 at Jazz Kitchen in Omaha, one at the local Wal-Mart taped high out of the reach of small children, it will be a challenge to find, hopefully cleaning personnel will locate it.

I sent some hearts with a friend to leave in Palapa Mexico.....a friend of hers memorial, lots of people love Isabel Jordan.They really liked the beads I heard, so they took them in remembrance of her, instead of being left to be found...they were found, just in a different way. This was before I knew about the release a bead. (MAYBE someone will read this sometime, and post about their bead they got in Palapa!)She has a CarePage thanks to those who love her, and was a most amazing woman! I didn't know here personally, but I read about her and feel like I do now..so much I wanted to send beads to her beach vacation place, where many people stayed at her place there starting many decades ago. Imagine, sleeping on a hammock in Mexico-just one of the choices of lodging.

I still want to go there.......

Found a bead at a rest area on I-25 in Colorado, heading to Denver from Santa Fe New Mexico. My wife just happens to do a lot of beading, so I thought it was kind of cool that I found one, and a neat idea to leave them around for others to find.

I released 3 beads today, 2 at the Las Vegas glass show, one was left on the counter in the ladies restroom and the other was left by a pay phone. The 3rd was left in front of Vons grocery in Boulder City!!

I live in taos new mexico and was riding my bike last week, on the corner of kit carson and dolan st.i saw a small ziplock bag which look liked something was contained within, i jumped off my bike a saw that there was a beautiful green, blue, and gold colored bead within. I felt like i had found a secret treasure that had not been noticed before and took it home.

I released 8 beads at the Stitches West show over the weekend. Thought some knitters/fabric peeps might like some glass to play with also.

I tried to leave my clue on the blog, but so far, it's not been posted... So here it is... I'm releasing 50 beads in and around Taos, NM. Maybe some at/near BeadFest in Santa Fe in March. Happy Hunting!

Hello everyone! I released two beads today, one in Port Gamble Washington, placed on a bench outside a country store. And one at the entry of the visitor center off highway 3 heading towards Port Townsend Washington. I hope whom ever finds them enjoys them as much as I enjoyed leaving them there to find!!

I left some beads at Natural Bridges State Beach a few days ago. Will be hiding others soon.

I found a beautiful 3/4" round glass bead in an office building elevator in Los Gatos, Ca. I thought it fell out of someones pocket or handbag until I read the note inside the wrapping. Thank you! I love glass beads!

Thanks for the beautiful frog bead! It's amazing! I found mine in Santa Cruz.

Perpitrated mass release of 10 "Golden Ticket" beads around Sonoma, CA's town square park (and at the nearby Glass Art Festival) yesterday. A subsequent check revealed that most of them appear to have been found. You know who You are, finders. Let's hear from you! (and see you at the Bazaar!)

This was really fun, I just dropped off 8 beads at the Sanchez Art Center and 2 at Starbucks in Pacifica. I drove back by the art center and some of the beads were already gone. That was fun. I then sent 10 off to my daughter in Milan who was going to translate "This Bead is Yours..."into intalian and release them there. Will be fun to see if anyone writes a comment.

hi, i found my bead in a PEETs coffee shop in Castro Valley. while getting coffee for my boss. thank you for the beautiful bead, it matches my cats eyes.

Hello. I found my bead an hiking area above Ocean Beach in San Francisco, CA. Thanks for the bead =)

Okay, I release 4 beads in Destin, Florida. What great Fun! I left one on the beach stairway at the botton (and it dissapeared!). One I actually gave to a waitress to hand to a group of ladies lunching at Pompano Joes (restaurant), so my family and parents could actually see someone's reaction. The waitress told them it was on the floor next to their table. I think the table must have thought we were gawking at them too much!

Another bead was left at Callahan's restaurant. And the fourth was released at the Crystal Beach "park/picnic table" area near that Crab restaurant. What fun to do!

Kristy (Now I need to release the others in Atlanta.

In a rock at the Liu Fang Yuan , or the Garden of Flowing Fragrance at The Huntington Library in San Marino Ca.WOW it was special. I had been working to find a short in the lighting system for two days and was in need of a treat !Never did fix the problem but wont give up now !

HELLO!! I am getting ready to RELEASE over 40 of the 100 beads that will include a *Golden Ticket* (a free entry to the Bead Bazaar at the Gathering in Oakland CA this Aug 9th) !! FUN!!! I hope to sneak into the Frieda Kahlo and Chihuly exhibits in San Francisco...we'll see...hope you don't read about some crazed woman getting arrested for lurking by the potted palms at MOMA with her basket of FAB *tagged* beads...many thanks to all ISGB members who mailed me such WONDERFUL peices to be sent Out Into The Wild to their new homes on the pull chains, key rings and necklaces of unsuspecting and totally delighted finders!!

Should have said - We are in New Zealand.

I'm too young to type anything that most people will understand but I found my beautiful bead (Matalic black with aqua and blue blobs) on a swing in Francis Reserve, Grey Lynn. My Mum says that she will look after it for me until I'm old enough not to swallow it. Thank you it's lovely. Zoe Bug x

What a neat idea. In Vermont, I don't know any other lampworkers except my teacher/mentor. The studio we share is close to Mt. Philo State Park. We have lots of campers from out of state in the summer, so I thought we could put some beads at that park. Of course, finders most likely will not be beadmakers, but....one never knows.

I've release a few beads throughout the San Mateo, California area.

Just found a beautiful black with light yellow mixed coloured bead outside the front window of my car at Regina Beach parking lot in the North of Regina City, Saskatchewan, Canada. I will hang it on my rear mirror frame :P

If you see this bead, that will be me for sure :-)

Just found a released bead outside of a local ice cream shop in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada!!

I found a beautiful blue and brown bead when I was paying for parking near my office in Edmonton, Canada. It made my day :-)

My bead found me in Springdale, Utah. I don't know what it will end up yet. I do know it will be with me for a long time :)

We were on our way to Bryce Canyon for a hike, and stopped at the first pullout near Zion Canyon National Park on May 15th.

At the interpretive sign, we noticed a small bag with a really cool 'tree frog' in it, and at first thought someone had dropped a sovenir by accident.

We were surprised by the find, and now have it as an unexpected souvenir of our travels.

Found on Gooseberry Mesa-Zion

May 8th

found on the Hurricane, Ut Canal Trail.

I found a beautiful little glass urn in the ladies' lavatory where I work. I will wear it on a chain --maybe its maker will notice her handiwork and tell me more about her craft.

Beads have been release in Zion National Park in Utah, on bike trails in the area. Good luck

I am going to try to get other beaders in my community (Terre Haute, Indiana) to participate in the bead release project. I also teach 2 summer bead making classes at the Swope Art Museum to kids. We make a variety of different beads during class; I think the culmination of our class should be having the kids go out and release beads into the community as well. Spreading art around should be a great eye opener to our community!

We are planning on participating way down here in New Zealand as well. So any Kiwis out there.......keep your eyes peeled you may find a few beads in unlikely places too!

I found my bead on a public phone in Copenhagen near Vesterport Station, on May 11. I brought it to France ! Thank's for this present.

I'm the happy finder of a very beautiful bead - bright blue with a hint of gold. I found it yesterday in the center af Copenhagen, hanging on a hot-dog stand ;-)

Wonderful idea � the first handful of beads was scattered over Copenhagen yesterday.

What a fun project! A little bee told me that some were making their way to the wilds of Japan and Korea.

Cheers,

Susie

Cool!
