I am not sure if I ever got round to telling you at the time, (something about holes in the brain!), but during your exhibition a gorgeous old guy came in on a mobility scooter. He was as deaf as a doorknob and had found the bead on Cheltenham beach. He was worried it had been lost and thought he should returned it. When I explained that the bead was a gift from the artists for him to keep he was so absolutely delighted and said he would give it to his grand daughter. It was a beautiful wee moment and I felt privileged to be a little part of the joy that your project spread in the world….ahhhhhh!

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’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
