It’s “Results Day” for our Spring 2012 – Bead Design Challenge!
I’m so excited to show you the spectacular designs that were created to jazz up our bling-less Lady!
Spring can be a busy season and several of you, who signed up, were not able to meet the deadline. I totally understand – life happens – but you are more than welcome to join us next time!
Here are the beads and findings that were magically turned into the eye candy you are about to view!

“I see this Lady more bohemian and of course she loves bright colors especially in a summer day while walking around town with a long dress admiring the new flowers and gardens.”

Caro says:
“Well, here’s my bling. A black and baby blue necklace to match her head band and complement the subtle blues in her dress.
In case you didn’t already know, this lady’s ready to put her Victorian past behind her. No pink cameos for her! Instead, she’s stepping out in something that’s gonna blow the stockings off her demure friends and grab her knight in shining armor by the eyeballs!”

Thank you SO much, Crystal. I quilt all year and only dig out my beadies for YOU!! This was a fun challenge. I love working with your beads. They give me inspiration to try different designs. Thanks for hosting and thanks for the gift of more of your wonderful beads.
I love all of the designs made. Such a talented group. Maybe we will all meet up somewhere.. at a coffee shop (tea for you, Crystal) and bead all afternoon.
Thanks again for my winning beads. Can’t wait to get them. 😀
Wow these are great Crystal! The designs get better with each design challenge. Can’t wait to start my spree 🙂
Thanks for giving peeps this opportunity to have some creative fun.
All the designs will make this lady a real stunner. I truly cannot pick a favorite, each piece goes with something special in my closet. Thank you for sharing all the lovely pieces.
Wow, all the designs are SO beautiful!! Lots of bling and color for the lady now! 🙂 I’m honored to be included with the great talent here.
Thank you so much Crystal for another amazing challenge. It’s great therapy for me as you know. 😉 Congrats to the winners and all the designers! And congrats to you Crystal for another wonderful and successful challenge!
Crystal..thank you SO much for my prize! I had heaps of fun picking my beads. They arrived today and they are lovely, as always. Your generosity is very much appreciated!
Crystal, my box of goodies arrived yesterday. I carefully unwrapped and opened everything. Each bead got an Uh and an Ah. Just wonderful. I will be in Bead Heaven once I start creating with them. Thanks again for an amazing assortment.
What fun!!! All of the girls made such beautiful things! 🙂 Paulette
