The disappointment of having to cancel my classes in Germany was mellowed a bit this week, when news came from fellow instructor Dian Hierschel that my necklace “Pop! Goes the Circle” had placed second in the Metals/Wirework category at the International Bead Awards! Â The IBA was exhibited as part of Beaders Best Perlenkunst Messe, just wrapped up in Hamburg.
Dian kindly sent along this photo from show.

I worked at break-neck speed on this necklace, spending most of New Year’s Eve finishing it. Â It was uploaded almost at the last minute before entries closed. Â The sore shoulder lasted a few days, but this makes it all worth while! Â Thank you to the jury and to everyone who voted for it!
