Congratulations Diane Villano for coming in first place in the polymer clay category of the 2009 Bead Dreams competition!
This is an especially sweet victory for Diane because her entry “Big Bead – Chinese Cinnabar” has been over 5 years in the making.
Second place went to Kathy Shield Dummer for “My Mothership Connection”.
Third place finisher was Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg for “Dreams in Kabela”.
There were only 6 finalist entries in the polymer clay category this year. Congratulations also go to the other finalists: Janice Abarbenel
Christelle Van Lingen
and Luidmyla Heggland.
Unless I completely run out of energy, I’ll be posting later about my day.

Huge congratulations to Diane! I’ve seen that big bead in progress for a while now, and the finished piece is a stunner. It’s great to know that her hard work and troubleshooting paid off!

Big congratulations to Diane on her first place win! That bead is awesome. What a sweet reward after five years of “in progress” work. Congrats to all the winners and finalists too.
Thanks for sharing Libby.
