What a luscious stash! As a beadweaver, I haven't had as much opportunity to use artisan beads as the rest of you. I have been following a lot of these artists, reading about the process, and lusting (who wouldn't!) after the gorgeous pieces they create. Winning this stash would take my work to a new level in creativity, and hopefully be the push to get me to sell! :) Thanks so much for the chance!
Wow! Such beautiful treasures. I could never afford all these. How I'd love to win. Will share with my beady friends on FB.
