I'm lucky enough to have 5 jewelry pieces in the Bead Star 2012 contest! I'm very excited about that because this contest has eluded me for years. I'm thrilled to finally be apart of it for the first time this year. So, without further ado, here are my entries:
Ceramics Category
Spice Of Life
Colorful ceramic beads by artist Kieth O'Connor are hand-knotted on Irish waxed linen cord. Hill Tribe silver spiral charms dance between the beads on this cheery bracelet! A knotted loop and silver Greek ceramic bead make the perfect closure.
Crystals Category
Onyx and Gold

These are sparkly! Golden crystals and faceted onyx rounds are hand-knotted on black silk cord in these party-worthy earrings!

Plastics Category
Bohemian Bracelet
Plastic never looked so good! A double row of faux "turquoise" beads have been hand-knotted on amethyst silk beading cord. An artisan-made copper washer by Miss Fickle Media is the focal piece.
Metals Category
The Glamorous Life
Chic earrings perfect for a night out on the town! Rows of copper, silver and gold faceted cubes are woven together with copper wire. Tassels of suede lace finish these stylish earrings.
Pearls Category
Fringy Pearls
These fun, fringe earrings use cord crimp ends in a unique way. Fresh-water pearls in silvery grey and copper dangle from loops of leather cord. Classy and hip!
