No message from Beadwork on Friday so I am facing the fact that this piece was not picked as a finalist for the "Beaded Earth" contest.

This is the third time I have entered a contest by Interweave, Inc, and not even gotten to first base. I guess we are not on the same wave length. . . I am wondering why this was not picked, but I guess everyone who has not scored in a contest has this same question on their mind. Still it stings, the way your hands burn after making snowballs without gloves.
