Beading Contest: Ocean Treasures Winners!

Our Beadaholique beading contest, Ocean Treasures, has come to an end, and we have three winners to announce!

By the Sea

Marilyn Lee Reed was voted the #1 entry from the United States with her "By the Sea" bracelet.  This design features a beautiful color palette of shells, pearls and seed beads.

Peaceful Waves

Chiara Cattaruzza was voted the #1 international entry with her "Peaceful Waves".  This bracelet features beaded beads using seed beads and a beaded starfish among seahorse and shell charms.

Marilyn and Chiara have both won a $100 Beadaholique gift certificate.  Artist profiles on Marilyn and Chiara will be posted soon here on our blog, so be sure to check back and find out more about them.

I lay in the Tidal Pool

Our Editor's Pick, and the winner of a $50 Beadaholique gift certificate is Casey Sharpe and her "I lay in the Tidal Pool" bangle.  We felt that Casey was very inventive with the seed beads and yarn, by manipulating them to look like they had been plucked from the sea.

Congratulations to all of our winners!  Our next contest will be announced in the September issue of The Beading Wire, and we can't wait to see what you all create!
