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 beautiful bead was found at the Paraparaumu library in New Zealand, I was putting it in lost property when we found out it was free to a good home, everyone decided for me that I was to have it!

I found the bead on the rack of my scooter in front of Trader Joe's in Capitola, CA just in time for my birthday 6/20/2008

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!
