International Pop Bead Day


Let’s hear that pop
as we celebrate
International Pop Bead Day!!

The plastic fascination of the 50’s
has bridged the grid and Millenniums
are sacrificing text messages
in honor of the bead.

Imaginations are combining
color and technique to ring
the globe with pre-landfill art.

(T-shirts and other unnecessaries
can be purchased at the events
or online @bpoppin.com …We appreciate all
your support for colored plastic!)

We need a popping good holiday. Can we use up some of those old plastic bubble packs we have laying around and in storage for the 'right time,' or will we have to buy a t-shirt?

Love the tongue-in-cheek adulation of the retro holiday. David Jones (the modernist Welsh poet) once said that there are some words or concepts that are turned over, become their opposite, over the tide of millennia, sometimes many times--anathemata. So that pop beads become the new rosary. And in our truncating history, the turn from bead to baud to landfill happens so fast we hardly notice it. Thanks!
