Bead Star Winners Revealed!
|
Meet our Bead Star 2009 Winners and learn how you could win next year! We love to vote for favorites, don’t we? We choose American idols, dance stars, and even new M&M colors. So when it came to choosing favorite jewelry designs, no wonder more than 26,000 online votes were cast to select 45 winning jewelry designs for Bead Star magazine. That’s from a whopping 2,000 original jewelry projects submitted by beaders. (Do the math, those 45 represent the top 2 percent of entries!) |
