07/07/07 Scott was accepted as one of ten finalists in the Bead Dreams competition sponsored by the Bead and Button Show. The category he entered was of course Handmade Beads. We entered a set of five of his huge fossil cylinder beads. The final judging will happen just before the show opens in Milwaukee in early June. We have a booth at that show....Booth 1218. His entry will be displayed with the other finalists at the show in a the display cases in the middle of the show floor. Way to go Scott! Click here to see photos from the show.
I (Monica) was accepted into this exhibit. I am thrilled!! It will show at two galleries during the time of the Glass Art Society conference and during the ISGB Gathering.
Metamorphosis: The Life Cycle of a Glass Bead.....is a contemporary glass bead exhibit that showcases innovative works by 44 artisans from the United States, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The metamorphosis of a glass bead from its own creation to inclusion into a piece of fine art, engages the viewer and makes us challenge our ideas of glass beads and their intrinsic value.
Here is my entry. I used one of Scott Beads as a Focal.

Scott learned how to make beads from Cindy's first book....Making Glass Beads and now has some of his work and a technique shared in her book....Beads of Glass. He shares a zig zag technique and his dragon is featured on page 16. This is a great book. The first part has group gallery photos, like the pages with the dragon on it. The next section features highlighted artists, and the third section shows techniques.

Scott and I both had some work featured in the gallery pages in Bead Unique Magazine. Scott made that purple/white glass jar and I decorated a cork to go in it. I also used some of Scott's beads and created the multi-strand necklace you see on the top of the page.
