    Hello Cyndi,
    Happened to come across this site and noticed your entry about the Swarovski Creative Beading Competition in Australia.
    Awfully nice of you to pick my “Mermaid’s Tiara” was one of your fav’s.
    Just thought I’d let know know the addresses of my websites where I’ve a few more interesting wirework pieces.

    By the way, I made it through to the top 40 of the comp with “Copper for Cleopatra” my other entry. It can be viewed on “misterjet” above
    As of 21st Aug 07, we’re all waiting to hear who has made it through to the next round.

    Regards
    Bernadine

    Hi Cindi,
    Thank you so much for acknowledging my Crystal Passion Cuff. Jewelry making is my obsession and sanity. As I am sure you and your readers can understand. I dont have a web site yet, my son is working on it, my email is ppu00118@bigpond.net.au. I teach part time at Just Bead It in Mackay and make pieces to order and sell. I have been beading for aprox 4 or 5 years,these sites for us to comment and help each other are terrific. Thank you again you have made my year.
    Bye Penny Purdie

    Hi Cyndi

    Congratulations on this website, it is fantastic to see some of our great artists acknowledged overseas. I own Just Bead It in Mackay where Penny teaches beading workshops and I can honestly say she is a very talented beader. People who attend her beading workshops always leave the store proudly displaying their new design. Her passion vine cuff workshop has generated alot of interest. Congratulations Penny!!

    Kerri

    What a wonderful showcase for some fabulous jewellery artists. I have the pleasure of knowing both Penny and Bernadine’s work - Penny, because I live in Mackay as well and see her work on a regular basis, and Bernadine’s through a fabulous website we have here in Australia called Beading Forum. I am in complete awe with every new piece that they do.

    Congratulations Penny and Bernadine. :-) And thankyou Cyndi for such a wonderful site … I’ll be sure to come back and visit again.

    Hi Cyndi
    My daughter has just now made me aware of your site and was extremely surprised and proud that you highlighted my “Pearl Omega” necklace I entered in the Australian Swarovski Crystal Competition.My entry made the final 40 .I have only been beading for about 3 years since being introduced to it by my daughter who has a website (www.kelscreations.com.au).Such a talent(Non biased comment, of course)
    There are so many talented beaders in Australia who should receive international accolades.
    Thanks for the acknowledgement.

    Loraine
