Charmed...

Woohoo!  The results of the

2017 Fire Mountain Gems and Beads Jewelry-making Contest featuring Metal

 have finally been announced! I'm delighted that my "Charmed" bracelet has won a Grand Prize Silver Medal in the Bracelet Category!  The bracelet is primarily metal composed of sterling silver, fine silver and bronze metal clay, and copper wire.  A Peyote-stitched beaded link, an etched glass bead, and a drilled river pebble are additional accents.

The contest closed several months ago and I'd been wondering how my entries had fared (my "Amphitrite's Treasure" neckpiece was also entered and was declared a Finalist). So what am I doing now? I'm shopping using t

he $150 FMG award gift certificate...I've already placed a few goodies in my shopping cart!
