That is fabulous! If you don't win first prize in the bead festival there's something wrong with the judges:D . You did a magnificent job:cheer

[wyldflrs]

Speechless... :manyheartreally your work is amazing! Good luck :)

[DesertCrocheter]

Wowza!!! You have such a creative mind and the talent to make those come real--I'm just amazed. It is just gorgeous!! I check out every single little thing you make since they all amaze me with their beauty and inspire me. Ditto everyone else's remarks, but I want to add that if you don't contact Amy about going on to that TV show with your incredible designs and demonstrating crochet with beads and your spectacular doilies--well, I don't know what threat to use, but you'd just better do it!!

[tezen]

WOW what an awesome work of art!!!!!!!!!! Definate winner in my book

[jessluvn31]

It is absolutely divine! Wish I had your talent, not to mention patience for making something as beautiful as that!

[Goldkeeper]

I just spend an hour looking at your website ..All your purses are just breath taking...They all look 1st place too me..

[Katchkan]

I promised that I would post how I did at the Bead Festival.

 

Well folks, It's a good thing I have no expectations at this show. As I would have been sadly disappointed. I didn't place in my division at all. They were into the embroided necklaces again this year. I just wasn't what they were looking for. Who know's maybe next year.

I did have a great time shopping and restocking some of my bead though. Can be a very dangerous place for one's budget. Mine suffered that's for certain.

[simonssez]

Well place or not...your purse is one of the most beautiful items I've ever seen! I absolutely adore it!

[123mama]

Well in my book it took first place Kathy.

[StitchinCindi]

Good Golly! The judges must be blind! That is one of the most absolutely amazing things I have ever seen!

[Hellen]

The place of this is in a Museum of Art.

[Roli]

I agree with Hellen. I am sure that your beautiful crochet purse will one day be a museum piece, Kathy. Many artists were not appreciated in their own lifetimes. The whims of fashion have hijacked the bead competition.

[knitted_painting]

they chose beaded embroided necklaces over your work of art?!? omg I can't believe that! well when C'ville starts their own museum of masterpieces yours will deffinatly be in it!

[yarncat]

Gorgeous purse,Kathy!What do judges know.

[MrsD]

Kathy -- those judges must need glasses! That bag is one of the most gorgeous, unique pieces of bead work I've ever seen. Use it proudly!

[angelfire]

that is splendid..I could never do anything so grand!

[unipeg]

I like everyone else cannot believe those judges would choose beaded necklaces over your wonderful beaded bag:eek But from the concensus here, your bag places first!

[Tammyann]

I love it and am inspired to begin bead crochet again!!

[Monique39]

Beautiful!

[Gran]

Another one of your priceless heirlooms. That's exquisite.

[Hookerangel]

Kathy that is so beautiful. It looks like a LOT of hard work and it is breathtaking so delicate.
