Mmmm...Miyuki!

Contest #1 is over!

In this contest we invited beaders to use a color-coordinated selection of Miyuki beads (pictured above) as the foundation for a beaded creation.

Judging was done by the Caravan staff and members of the Miyuki design department. We had two pieces with identical top scores, so decided to award two First Place prizes. (Really, it's very hard to choose!) Our thanks to everyone who entered and we hope you enjoyed creating your entries as much as we enjoyed seeing them.


The winners:

Francesca Walton, Canada: "Scarab Set" - First Place





Misan Tejre, Sweden - "Prehistoric Preacher" - First Place





Honorable Mentions:

Sue Berryhill, Maine, USA - "Enchanted Garden"





Donna Faye, Pennsylvania, USA - "Grabbing for the Brass Ring"





Lena Thiel, Sweden - "Countryside"




Jeni Smathers, USA - "Miyuki Cuff Bracelet"





Sandra Halpenny, Canada - "Lacy Squares Necklace"



March 27 note: I will have some more info about the entries and links to larger images available next week. We've been very busy and have a guest arriving today and bead store training Friday and Saturday. Never enough hours in a day.
