** Evergreen Angel Ornament **
3rd Place - Ornaments Category

Creator/Artist Name:	Heather Hall
Country:	USA
Date Completed:	October 19, 2004
CONTEST Item #:	50
Evergreen Angel Ornament
Using a lovely, deep green aventurine donut, I netted seed beads around the outside, creating a "cage" to hold it and adding a double row of ruffles, the outer row having crystals for sparkle and shine. The inner circle of the back has a row of green drop beads, making the back as pretty as the front. I then strung on the brass angel wings with a few gold seed beads, along with a flat green flower bead for a collar, a carved bone double-sided face bead, an upside-down satiny translucent flower "hat", and a crystal "pom-pom" as a topper. A jump ring for hanging finishes her off. Now I have a grace filled ornament to add to my tree this year.

Medallion Ornament

Creator/Artist Name:	Pamela Welborn
Country:	USA
Date Completed:	Oct 20, 2004
CONTEST Item #:	42
Medallion Ornament
Using silver lined gold and purple iris size 11 Japanese seed beads, I started with flat circular netting to create 7 medallions. I connected them and then netted both up and down adding purple cathedral beads for the fringe. I had a very hard time getting a good picture of this but this one almost shows it off properly. I don't cover the whole ornament anymore because of breakage and don't you know it - I dropped it right after I finished it and only had to put it on another ornament ball!
