I got the inside scoop on the contest from Danielle Fox, editor of Bead Star. "We were blown away by the number of entries into our contest—we received over 1,500 eligible submissions! You can imagine, then, how hard it was for me and the other editors to select only 180 of them (twenty in each of the nine categories). It was so much fun to look through all the entries, and what we’ve come up with, I believe, is the best of the best, the crème de la crème. Now it’s time to pass the fun—and the responsibility—on to you, our Beading Daily family! YOU will pick the next bead stars!"
