Caterpillar Friends


Artist: Joanne A Olson (Punta Gorda, FL)
Polly's Pick, Mostly Metal

Joanne says she was inspired to make a caterpillar design from the cover of Rings & Things 2009-2010 Wholesale Cataog---the cover design features a metal-stamped pendant with the phrase "There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." We were inspired by Joanne's innovativeness in creating a card holder out of nothing but lampwork glass beads, bead caps and wire. She says of her caterpillar friend, "this card holder will never turn into a butterfly. She sits on my desk and everyone asks about her."


Polly’s Picks are designs our editor especially likes despite the fact that they did not win a formal prize. These designs are often simple, practical and/or whimsical examples of how to use Rings & Things components well.
