Quick update:
My entry to the Nottingham Bead Show last weekend, "Ripples and Splash" failed to place :-( I would like to think that it might have come third, as only first and second prizes were awarded! Mandy (who attended for me) had a chat with Steph (from the Nottingham bead Shop http://www.mailorder-beads.co.uk).
Steph said that it was the first time that she had seen anything made with Pellet beads, and she was impressed with the interchangeable pendants. I suspect that these special features were not obvious to the voting public!
I'm looking forward to seeing what beat me when they post the winners on Facebook. I think that the winning piece may have taken many, many more hours then mine!
