March 2025 Bead of the Month
The tree by the sea bead reminds us to cherish the moments that shape our hearts, to leave our mark on the world, and to find love and connection in the simplest places, like the sea and the whisper of the wind.

About the Artist:
For me, glass bead making started in 2000 as a hobby to share with my then, 12 year old daughter. 25 years later, we both still make glass beads! This shared hobby keeps me closely connected with my girl. Beads of Courage is close to my heart because it's all about the love of children and beads. - Kari Chittenden

Artist Inspiration:
A moment carved in time, where love and memories meet by the sea. The boy, with a heart full of dreams, etches his initials in the tree—forever marking a place where hearts and nature are intertwined.
