Alter a book, re-create a favorite character, or bead a page of text, or whatever your imagination can conjure up relating to beads and books. Show us your passion for books and beads in one creative effort. We can&amp;rsquo;t wait to see how you combine glitterati with literati! The winning entries will be featured in a gallery in &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal;"&gt;Beadwork&lt;/i&gt; magazine and the actual works will be exhibited at Bead Expo Santa Fe in March 2009 and Bead Fest &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
