I was so very honored to have won the Grand prize for my Kyoto Coat, as well as 1st prize for my Jewels of the Sea Necklace, in last year's competition. Since I had such marvellous luck last year, and I couldn't possibly top that experience, I was considering not entering this year, but I have an idea that I am excited about... so, time permitting I will be participating again!
Every year the contest gets more and more exciting. More categories, prizes, and entries! I only wish I could attend the conference in order to see all of the entries on display! Maybe next year!
