This was my first year competing, I was honored just to get picked as a finalist in the contest.  Both of my polymer clay pieces were accepted.  But to win ribbons for both of them, words can't describe. 

I am very proud of my pieces, and happy to have them honored in such a way.  It was an amazing experience to design such free and fun artistic pieces specifically for the competition.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported me.  Every accomplishment assures me I am doing what I am supposed to be.

On another note, I am still working on my new website, and should be listing some new polymer beads in the next couple days.

They will be for sale right here on my site in the store.

Please bear with me as I learn the new shop, and how sales go and such.  If you place a few orders, and it charges you too much shipping, I will surely refund it, as usual.

And the International Winner is.............

Since the Art Bead Love Tour is under way in the USA, I decided to give away one of my new Antique Bible Pendants to one lucky international fan, since you guys don't get to play in the Bead Tour.  I made a list in order of all the entries that were NOT from the USA (some folks entered, who didn't qualify) and random.org chose #3- which is

Louise Turner!!!!

You won this Love Sparrow Pendant!
