OFFICIAL BEAD STAR RESULTS: 1st Place in Plastics Category!!!


2009-12-02 16:02

It's official!!! My neckpiece won 1st Place in the Plastics Category in the 2nd Annual Bead Star 2009 Contest!!!
Yes, I (and all of my fellow PCAGOE members) would have liked a dedicated "Polymer Clay" category, but that probably won't happen. Afterall, one of the contest's likely purposes it to promote pre-made beads and the purchase thereof. Well, polymer clay artists do purchase a lot of beads, but we also create a lot of them ourselves from raw material.
Anyway, I'm honored that over 26,000 online voters made their choices, and that without knowing for certain what material they were viewing, picked a piece made almost entirely of polymer clay as the winner!
This piece IS CURRENTLY BEING AUCTIONED on eBay, with proceeds to benefit the American Heart Association's women's heart-health initiative.

My design efforts were validated earlier this year when I submitted a piece of my jewelry for consideration in the BEAD STAR annual contest. To my surprise and delight, "Fantasy Turquoise Choker" was chosen by the Bead Star Staff as one of the "Plastics" category finalists upon which online viewers could vote!
