Description

Bead Star - You can be a Bead Star!

Presenting Bead Star 2008, the first-ever beading publication comprised entirely of prize-winning projects designed by reader/contestents.

The Bead Star contest kicked off in April 2008 on BeadingDaily.com with a call for designs made with simple stringing, crimping, and wirworking techniques.

The results

More than 1,000 entries.
180 finalists
The winning 45 projects were made with easy to find materials that are contemporary, timeless, fun, fancy, simple, elegant, charming, playful, and more!


Bead Star’s first Bead Star

“I still can’t believe I won!”  Valerie Aharoni’s amazingly original and beautiful seed bead piece was chosen by Fire Mountain Gems as the Best in Show and is featured on the cover.

24 of our winning designers have donated their projects to our two auctions, the proceeds of which will benefit the American Heart Association’s women’s heart-health initiatives.

All auction items will be on display at Bead Fest Santa Fe, March 12-15, 2009. We will have a silent auction for five of those items on March 14 & 15, 2009. The rest of the items will be auctioned on eBay from March 6-16.
