Just to let you know that Sue Stallard and I won the Teacher and Intermediate categories (respectively) of The Stitch n Craft Fit for a Queen beading challenge. You had to bead a necklace, bracelet and ring or brooch using the Swarovski stones and pearls they provided and using anything else you wanted to add.

My entry was beaded for the Iceni queen Boudica (Boudicca)

Sue decided to bead for Pricilla Queen of the Desert—one of her favourite films!

 Lotus – Audrey Andrews

Hydrangea – Sue Jones

Sunflower – Bianca Deegan

No idea what these are – Marion Dearlove

Peonies – Malcolm Gowlett
