I was one of the donors to the prize pool and so I got to "meet" the 2nd place winner, Cindy Holsclaw of Bead Origami.. Cindy gave me permission to display her beautiful winning necklace. The necklace contains 17 individual Pagoda Beaded Charms in a beautiful Icycle blue color.
You can read more about the necklace on Cindy's blog. She also has her own website and Etsy shop where she sells her beadwork as well as tutorials - one of which is for the pagoda bead used in this necklace.
My donation was a gift certificate for something in my Etsy shop. Cindy chose one of my dichroic glass cabochons which I called "Symphony."
It's a bold piece and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Cindy might use it. Congratulations to all the winners of the Bead Maven's Ice Queen Challenge. Every entry was outstanding.
Linda, thank you so much, both for being involved with the challenge, and for mentioning us in your blog today!!! The cab that Cindy chose is fabulous - and I can't wait to see what she makes, either!!! And you - I cannot wait to see your next batch of cabs, of course!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning necklace!
ReplyDeleteYour "Symphony" piece is just gorgeous. I love all the bright colors.
Thanks for the kind words about my Ice Queen Necklace, and for the generous prize contribution! I have some ideas for the Symphony cab but I might need to experiment a bit. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!
