Remember this bracelet?


It just won me a gift certificate from Jelveh Designs...the fabulous glass artist who made the ribbon bead that is the focal of this bracelet!  She contacted me a while ago and asked if I wanted to enter her "Beauty Contest"...items created with 1 or more of her beads were eligible.  I said "Yes!!", and didn't really think about it until I got a Facebook message this morning (thank you Sue!) saying 'hey you won Jelveh's contest'!

Wow!  Needless to say, I am very happy to have a gift certificate from one of my fav bead makers, but I am humbled that a judge from Fire Mountain Gems chose my bracelet from all the glorious work that was submitted.  One of my idols, Lori Anderson, was a winner as well! Yay, Lori!!!

Thanks again, Jelveh, and to everyone who has sent me wonderful comments.  They mean much more than you know :)  Now, off to do a bit of bead shopping !

  7. I am SO not surprised that you won! That's one of my favorite pieces of yours! And I pulled this blog up to show my husband and saw that you said I was an "idol" and I about choked -- because I look up to YOU so much! Your work is so wonderful and fresh and I really, really appreciate your spirit, too.
