THE COLORADO HEARTBEAT
This chart captures the full energy of our home state. Denver represents our original roots—the place where the first Glitterbuggs were painted, gifted, and shared to start this ripple of joy.
THE NATIONAL PULSE
Beyond our Colorado roots, the Glitterbugg ripple is traveling across the country. This chart follows our painted rocks as they are gifted to friends or carried to new states. Every scan here is a digital 'hello' from a different corner of the map, showing how far a small spark of creativity can wander.
LOCAL GLOW
While Denver is our home, the Glitterbugg ripple is thriving in our surrounding neighborhoods. This chart focuses on Colorado communities outside of Denver, showing the organic growth in our own backyard. From Littleton to Lakewood, these scans represent the quiet moments of kindness shared between neighbors, friends, and colleagues in the places we live and work.
THE MOMENTUM OF THE MISSION
This timeline captures the evolution of our journey. In the early years, the peaks represent our hands-on dedication, as we scanned and shared each Glitterbugg ourselves to spark the project's life. Today, the momentum has shifted—the glow is now carried by the community, as more people discover, gift, and scan these pieces of art, turning a personal passion into a self-sustaining ripple of joy.
THE INFINITE RIPPLE
This chart represents the ever-growing legacy of our work. Unlike a snapshot of a single moment, this view captures the total volume of connection since the very first Glitterbugg was placed.
