Fire Swirl Necklace - A Winner!

Fire Swirl Necklace, originally uploaded by Glittering Prize - Trudi.

Well I'm sitting here with Man Flu (Passed on from the Men in the office coughing and spluttering away) feeling a bit sorry for myself. But when I logged onto my online group I found that I was Jewellery Artist of the month for December!

I won it for this necklace. Made with my own lampwork bead - this was a stocking filler for my sister. I'll have to tell now it's an award winner!!

Well it certainly made me fell better - CHEERS!

Double Whammy!

Well I'm sitting here grinning like a loon - I'm a member of an online beading group and I've won Bead Artist and Jewellery Artist of the month for June!

It's such a nice feeling to know that people like your work - and to win these especially when there are such high standards of other work being nominated makes it even more special!!

The bracelet was actually made as a birthday present for my sister Jojo, so I'll have to tell her it's an award winner! I shall be off now to contemplate my award winning speech .................
