Lily Kimono

Creator/Artist Name:	Vicki Callan
Country:	Canada
Date Completed:	June 28, 04
CONTEST Item #:	46
Lily Kimono
I built the stand to show off sun catchers but found that the Lilly of the Valley Kimono, would sit well inside it. You could place this infront of a sunny window with a few pairs of your favorite earrings and watch it sparkle. I used the colours that I had and addapted the pattern to fit those colours.

** Elegant Evening Bag **

Creator/Artist Name:	Pat Ritter
Country:	United States
Date Completed:	June 30 2004
CONTEST Item #:	45
Elegant Evening Bag
When I came across this contest, I tried to think of a way to show the flower panels that would be a little different. I took the Pink Cyclamen, Pansies, and Sweet Peas panels and adjusted the colors so that the blues, pinks, and purples in the flowers would be the same colors. I then adjusted a purse pattern to have six beaded panels (two of each flower) and six plain panels. After creating all the panels, they were stitched to the purse. Each panel has an Austrian crystal and frosted glass drop at the point. I added fringe of seed and bugle beads, glass drops, and more austrian crystals. Thank you for your consideration.
Stitch	Peyote
Beads Used	Delicas, Crystals, and others

White Cyclamen Bookmark

Creator/Artist Name:	Pat Ritter
Country:	United States
Date Completed:	June 30 2004
CONTEST Item #:	44
White Cyclamen Bookmark
I had never seen Cyclamen in a color other than pink before this past Thanksgiving holiday. In honor of that, I modified the Pink Cyclamen pattern and replaced the light pink with white, dark pink with ivory, and the white centers with yellow (white flowers with white centers would be a little silly ). I thought the best way to show off this panel would be as a bookmark with quartz, hematine, and austrian crystals hanging from a pewter bookmark.
Stitch	Peyote
Beads Used	Delicas, Treasures, Crystals
Approx Finished Size	6 x 2 in, including pewter bookmark

IRIS - FLEUR-DE-LIS

Creator/Artist Name:	Kathleen Pajor
Country:	USA
Date Completed:	June 30, 2004
CONTEST Item #:	43
IRIS - FLEUR-DE-LIS
I really like Deb's Iris Flower panel. I'm also very fond of the Fleur-de-lis. This is what I came up with to bring them together. I wanted to try the panel with a white background to see how it would change the peice. This can be hung as a mini wall tapestry or in front of a votive candle. I love how the candle light is reflected in the various transparent beads I used in Iris panel.

Evening Out
I originally planned on using 10 panels, but I soon realized time wasn,t going to be my friend, so I had to downsize some. The bag didn,t turn out like I planned at first, but it still looks nice for an evening on the town , and someday my skills & abilities will catch up to the vision I create in my head( I Hope!)

I tried to depict a typical autumn garden, with an added magical touch of colors and ribbons. I used size 15/0 & 12/0 Delica seed beads and 4 mm faceted beads. The closure is an elongated 3D triangle bearing 14 facets, when worn, the necklace stretches to the right shape and facets become straight.

** Sunflower Sutra **

Creator/Artist Name:	Tamelyn Feinstein
Country:	USA
Date Completed:	June 2004
CONTEST Item #:	38
Sunflower Sutra
I fell in love with Deb's sunflower pattern -- my favorite flower! In my mind I could see it as a flirty dress for a garden sprite. After beading the pattern I added aventurine rounds and peyote stitched arms on silver wire, then topped her off with a polymer clay cabochon face and beaded "petals". Swarovski crystal drops complete her ensemble. I stitched the pattern as an amulet bag so that she can be stuffed with potpourri. Her name is taken from the title of one of my favorite poems.
Stitch	peyote
Beads Used	delicas

** Lady Columbine **

Creator/Artist Name:	Heather Hall
Country:	United States
Date Completed:	June 29, 2004
CONTEST Item #:	36
Lady Columbine
Being a doll artist, this contest was a challenge for me. But I was inspired by the beauty of Deb's Columbine panel. I adore her flower panels and thought that creating a doll from one of them would be so lovely! To create the doll figure, I used the panel upside-down. A collar, a head, some arms and boots and all she needed was some "pretties". A jeweled sash across her chest, some bells on her shoulders, a ruffle on the bottom of her dress, bobbles on the backs of her boots, a butterfly that just landed on her dress to check out the beautiful flowers and she was all set to be the belle of the ball.
Stitch	peyote, stringing, bead embroidery
Beads Used	Delicas, 12/o seeds, asst. small beads, asst. charms, asst silver beads
Approx Finished Size	Approx. 5 1/2 inches tall x 2 1/2 inches wide
