I have been participating the last few years with the Art Charm Swap and Auction. This years theme is fairy tales. Well, I am a bit rusty with this subject, so I Goggled it and a whole list came up. Some I was familiar with, some I never heard of, and some I didn't realize were a fairy tale! The fairy tale I chose falls into the third category - not realizing it was a fairy tale! Alice in Wonderland with the little white bunny with pink eyes that lured Alice down the rabbit hole.
I made the charm out of white ceramic clay and painted the eyes and ears pink. I used a silver plated bead cap to help hide the wire and finished the charm with a faceted pink crystal and silver plated round spacer bead. I think he's a cutie! I would follow him down a rabbit hole, too!
I really enjoy receiving the swap charms from 10 participants. This is what I received:
The best part, though, is raising money for Beads of Courage. I had the priviledge a few year ago of visiting their corporate headquarters in Tucson, AZ. Each charm will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds being donated. If you aren't familiar with Beads of Courage, you can read about them here

I will be back to let you know more about the auction - how it will work, the site you can find it on, and with the direct link to take you there.
Thank you to our Hostess, Jennifer Cameron of Glass Addictions. She has the huge job of coordinating all the behind the scenes stuff as well as running the auctions. She rocks! Please hop around to all the other blogs to see more charms and the read about inspiration behind each one.
