Rejection

Remember these?

                                                             Glass Category


Gemstone category
 I entered them in the Bead Star competition.

I didn't get in.  I would be lying if I said I was not dissapointed.  I really wanted a shot at it.  So now, I go to that insecure place, and pic them apart.  Are they ugly?  Not original enough?  Too original?  Are my pictures not good enough?  *sigh*  In the glass category there are 10 charm bracelets out of the 20 picked.  Is this rigged so that the kind of project they are looking for in the book wins?  I don't know.  But I can't let it get me down. 

I guess in the end, if you never get rejected, it means that you never put yourself out there. 

So there.  I will let that thought sink in tonight and wake up ready to go for it all over again tomorrow!

Congrats to the girlies who made it in!  There are lots of great necklaces.....AND if you want to help me out, you can vote for Erin Strothers wonderful necklace here.  (she used my heart pendant in it.)

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow that talent to the.... place where it leads.

Remember this?

Remember the giveaway I had with this heart pendant? 













Well, Erin Strothers won, and she made this wonderful, awesome necklace! 

I just love what she did with it.  I love the softness of the ribbon, contrasted with the rough of the nuggets.  The design is just perfect and I am so happy to see my heart pendant in such a beautiful piece of jewelry.  Thanks for letting me know what you did with it Erin!!!  You can check out Erin's other creations in her etsy shop.

Erin is entering this in Bead Star 2011.  You can vote for your favorites on their website between April 25th and May 17th (I think).  How fun is that????

I started to list a few polymer hearts in my etsy shop Artisan Accents.  Tonight and tomorrow I will be listing many components, some ideas of how to use them, a giveaway AND a coupon to use while shopping. 
I hope you will join me for the fun.
