Bizonyára már sokan tudjátok, hogy részt veszek a Beadsmith nemzetközi versenyén, ahol 80 "gyöngyművész" mérkőzik meg a világ összes tájáról, olyan nagy nevek, hogy tulajdonképpen az esélytelenek nyugalmával indulhatok :-)))). Az első körben ellenfelem az alább látható, a listán a 30. páros vagyunk. Nem lesz egyszerű dolgom, de mindent meg fogok tenni, hogy legalább az első körön túljussak.... :-))))))))) Drukkoljatok nekünk, magyar lányoknak (bevastagítottam a magyar résztvevőket a listán)!!
(Mosolyogtam azon, amit DeEva írt erről a blogján, hogy a türelem nem az erőssége, és ő (éppen úgy, akárcsak én) a gyors, pikpakk látványos dolgokat szereti készíteni... hát most mindketten gyakorolhatjuk 7 hétig a türelem erényét...) :-))))))))))

And the rules...
In an effort to create more awareness of some of the incredible bead
artistry being executed by bead masters worldwide, I thought it would be
fun to set up a beading "tournament" where original works can be
viewed, shared, and celebrated both by the participants, and the beading
public alike.
80 seed bead artists have been invited to participate in an
elimination "tournament" to determine which piece of their original
beadwork best captures the imagination of 119 of their fellow designers,
specialty bead shop owners, and members of various beading magazine
editorial staffs.
On May 14th, random artist pairings will be created,
establishing a first round of competition, consisting of 40 artists vs.
artist "contests". (For example, round one might have the work of
Californian Linda Roberts paired up against the work of Vermont's Nancy
Dale, and so on.)
Artists will then have Seven weeks from the announcement of
the first round pairings to create, a single piece of original
beadwork, and submit four photos best highlighting the works most
important elements. The 78 competitors not involved in a particular
round one "contest", plus 41 invited judges, will vote for the piece
that best captures their imagination. A majority of at least 85 of the
possible 119 total voters will be enough to determine a winner. All
necklaces, bracelets, earring, brooches, headpieces, belts, handbags, or
any other wearable adornments are acceptable for submission. The deadline for all of the submissions, by the artists, is July 10th, Tuesday
If an artist drops out of the competiton before 5 PM EST, on
Thursday June 7th, a replacement artist will be sought to join the
competition (though they are at an obvious time disadvantage). After the
June 7th, the artist paired with the departed competitor will be
declared a winner, and advance to round 2
The 40 winners of round one will be randomly paired again in one of
20 new "contests" in round 2 and the voting process will begin again.
The 10 winners of round two are again randomly paired in 5 new round 3
"contests" which after judging takes place will leave 5 remaining
artists in the competition.
The public will then have a chance to vote for their favorite
piece from the remaining 5 artists. The selected artist will recieve a
pass straight through to the final round of competition.
Round 4 will be two "contests" to determine which two artists will
compete in round 5 for the right to move to the championship round
against the public's favorite piece.
The winner of the competition will be decided on by the 119 eligible voters......
