Rings & Things has sponsored a category in the Bead&Button show’s Bead Dreams competition each year since 2006. We want to share the good news about this year’s winners:
Congratulations to 3 Bead Dreams winners who get hefty Rings & Things prizes! Bead Dreams is Bead & Button’s “juried competition of exceptional bead artistry from around the world.” We sponsored the Objects & Accessories category, which was brand-new this year! Bead Dreams defines it as “a non-jewelry item or accessory, including, but not limited to, purses, shoes, sculpture, or wall hangings in any bead-related media.”
Here are the winners and their creations:
1st Place (Prize: $300 Rings & Things gift certificate)
Satoko Toyoda's "Sparkling Treasure Chest"
2nd Place (Prize: $200 Rings & Things gift certificate)
Heidi Kummli's "Fortune Teller"
3rd Place (Prize: $100 Rings & Things gift certificate)

Do you suppose their creations will be featured in an upcoming Bead Dreams calendar?
