Sue’s Rattle Necklace & Earrings
Artist: Barbara Hanselman (Cherry Hill, NJ)
Honorable Mention, Alternative Materials
"My friend Sue Carr wanted a rattle she could wear—rattles are given to celebrate beginnings, so this was a very appropriate gift for her 40th birthday celebration! Making a rattle focal was a bit of a challenge since it couldn't be too big and cumbersome. Adorning the rattle with the right beads was easy with your African trade bead selection at the shows.” - Barbara Hanselman
At Rings & Things, our contest judges especially like the way the rough powder glass (“sand”) beads complement the earthy feel of the handmade ceramic components.
Review the 2008 contest details to see what this contestant was up against. And remember, it’s never too early to start planning for the 2009 contest!
