Bead Star Contest ~ Jewelry Stress

Yes, I know this is something I enjoy. It is also something I reallly want to spend my life doing as a job. I really want to have purpose in the time I spend away from family working. If I'm gonna be away from them, I'm gonna make it worth my while. ANYWAYS...

I entered Interweave Press's Bead Star contest. I sooooo stressed out about this one. I could only enter one piece per catagory & the catagories had to be designed with 75% of that material. I'm such a mixed material gal that I was bummed. Seriously, I think I drove my hubby mad. After all, it was only a contest about stringing beads, right? Yea, yea hea was right & now I've regained my right mind. So here they are, in no particular order. I hope to become Kelly Clarkson & not Sanjaya (how scarey he has his own Wikipedia entry). This Thursday I'll find out if something made the cut.
