Arecord-high number of beaders entered this years Beadwork

juried show, The Beaded Bag. Imagine culling 61 finalists from the

whopping 202 initial entries. Then consider the task of narrowing

this field by about half (35)from a group of artful bags that are all

individually distinctive, beautiful, and finely crafted! From blooming

pyramids, to a Yoruba-inspired bag with a face, to a tiger whose whiskers

tickled our fancy, this gallery of the judges selected bags is sure to elicit

oohs and ahhsas it did when displayed at this years Bead Expo

in Oakland, California (April 1115, 2007). Our jurors (see

page 7), Dustin (Bead Boy) Wedekind, Nancy Zellers, and

Linda Carlson, chose bags they felt represented the most

creative and well-crafted efforts in beading. Our Best in

Show goes to Myrle Borine for On the Town, a sculptural

creation with a vibrant mix of delicate patterns. Here we present

first the 35 winning bags, then the remaining 26 finalists for your

viewing pleasure. Congratulations to all!
