The Bead Dreams publication, displaying the winners and finalists of the 2009 competition, is now available. For the first time this year (I believe) it is only available on-line through the Bead & Button website, here. Needless to say, I already have my copy, and it is completely beautiful (not that I'm impartial, of course). Also, if you click on the link above, you will see a preview video, which has, as it's screencap:
(this is not the actual video, it's just a JPEG of the screenshot) ta-da! - my "Natural History" belt buckle. Needless to say, I'm pleased as punch.
Seriously, though, the photography for the e-booklet is quite stunning. As I mentioned before, apart from metal clay, my favorite category this year was beaded objects (I particularly liked the sense of humor in many of these pieces) - but all of the works are really quite inspiring to view.
As always, thanks for visiting.

very cool! congrats!
Nothing shameless about tooting your proverbial horn Melissa! I saw the Bead Dreams firsthand and was blown away by it all. The humor, the talent, the construction, the imagination. But I was really attracted to your belt buckle because it was so unique, so different! I am not a seed-beader and there is an awful lot of that. It is gorgeous, don't get me wrong! But I like to see something to shake it up and yours did just that. I am proud of your accomplishment Melissa (I am acting like I had anything to do with it! Sheesh!) You should be shouting about it. It is gorgeous work.
Enjoy the day!
Erin
