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 the $150 FMG award gift certificate…I’ve already placed a few goodies in my shopping cart!

Amy, I too was somewhat surprised that the bracelet won rather than the neckpiece, but one never really knows what will please the jury most!
