To benefit the HOPE Bracelet Project, Stringing magazine is auctioning 20 jewelry pieces from its fall 2005 issue. The eBay auction will run from November 7th through the 14th. Per a company press release: “The HOPE Bracelet Project (Helping Organizations Promote Education) is a charity that collects beads and materials, then teaches beading to the students at the Medhane-Alem School in Yetebon, Ethiopia, sells their limited edition creations, and gives the proceeds back to them in order to foster new skills, revenue, and pride in their craft. […] Starting today, people can visit the Beadwork website at: www.interweave.com/bead/events/ebay_2005/default.asp to preview the necklaces and bracelets up for auction, or they can pick up the current issue of Stringing magazine on newsstands nationwide. Each piece of jewelry is labeled as an auction item in the table of contents and on its project page in the magazine.”
