Contest and stuff
The contest is now moving to phase II.
Stoffobeads contest board has compiled the following submissions for voting. These will be voted on and eventually a winner selected.
Entry 1- Dawn said...I would like you to create a faux gemstone carved scarab bead. Something that resembles lapis lazuli with lots of pyrite or Chinese jade, creamy white and green. I like the boro glass. Don't know any techniques, just like handmade lampwork and boro beads. Dawn, bdluvr from justbeads
Entry 2 -Shamrock at JB (justbeads.com for the unititiated) submitted the following, "Ok, after pining over a losing bid on one of your lapidary donuts, here's an idea: "Molten lava/hot coals". Inner colors of firey reds,oranges, yellows banked beneath an outer (textured?) crust of charcoal gray or black -- lapidary cuts into the crust reveal the smoldering core within. This would also work well on a barrel-shaped bead.
Entry 3- Trek says; "How about a cobalt blue bead with swirls of green - reminiscent of the ocean - then kind of S shaped facets/cuts in it to be reminiscent of fish jumping in the waters. "Caribbean Blue"
Entry 4- anonymous (But I know who you are) Prickly pear beads.
So, please cast your votes for 1, 2, 3 or 4 . We can even go by their names, Jade Scarab, Molten Lava, Caribbean Blue, or Prickly Pear. Please cast your vote ! Send me an email, leave a comment, however you want to let us know which you would like to see. Remember that the bead selected will eventually become a contest prize that I will give away. The two above selections with the most votes will secure the submitters a 2006 collectible bead artist calendar. You have until April 15th, Tax Day, to cast your votes!
On the topic of cool stuff, here is part of a project I participated in and is worthy of support. Its called the Gather project and is worth a visit. You can buy a ticket to win these amazing bead sculptures made around rolling pins. Fantastic stuff and for a worthy charity.
Unfortunately, there are some major plumbing projects planned here at the stoffobeads compound. The whole sewer/drain system needs replaced all the way out to the city line. YIKES ! May need to sell off some beads at cut rate prices to pay for some of this work......

I'm going to vote for Caribbean Blue (obviously)
Hey I like the blue idea, too. I want to vote for #3.

Keep those votes coming in !
Can we vote for two? It's a tossup between 2 and 4. If 4 has a cactus flower, then I choose 4.
Vote for as many as you want. Voting ends today at midnight though....
No need to keep Vitos thumb in a jar. No proof of purchase, no ID necessary. Just vote...
