Glass Bead Challenge
I entered this beading contest & I won,
in the necklace category. In which I named:
“Romancing The Spring.”
Here is what they said about me:
This strung and knotted necklace combines
Czech pressed glass beads, vintage glass beads, and a lampworked focal. What impressed me
about this piece was something that is barely noticeable--the very polished knotted loop and bead closure that blends seamlessly into the design. Finding (or in this case, creating) the perfect
closure is an admirable design skill--and not
one that everyone has.
Samela has been designing jewelry since 2002, focusing on silver and gemstones, a combination which she describes as “a perfect marriage.”
