May 2024 Bead of the Month - The Sloth on a Rainbow bead reminds us to enjoy the magic of nature

May 2024 Bead of the Month

Artist Inspiration: "I love the way the world looks so clean and beautiful after the rain, and rainbows are such beautiful surprises. The sloth is clinging to a rainbow, or maybe climbing a rainbow, and noticing the magic of nature. I imagined the sloth is slowing down to enjoy the moment."

About the artist: Kari Chittenden started making glass beads in 2000 as a fun hobby to share with her then 12-year-old daughter. She loved making animal beads and other whimsical designs. That's what Kari still loves to make! Beads of Courage is close to Kari's heart because it's all about kids and beads.
