In September 1997, beadwork was judged and with much difficulty, final choices were made. The Sea highlights 84 beaders and their work from that challenge in full delicious color.
Every single beadwork is splendid.
A full page is dedicated to each piece and then information follows about the object and the beader. It is so refreshing to look at the beadwork and read what the beader has to say rather than just a little title listed below the item. There is a direct link to the beader, how that person works, what ideas they want to express and where they get their ideas. As I read each page and looked at the beadwork, I felt each beader was talking directly to me. Barry Kahn, owner of Caravan Beads, explains what the challenge was all about and there is a very interesting and entertaining write up by Carolyn Mitchell, co-founder of Caravan Beads.
