Rings & Things has sponsored a category in the Bead&Button show’s Bead Dreams competition each year since 2006. We want to share the good news about this year’s winners:
Congratulations to 3 Bead Dreams winners who get hefty Rings & Things prizes! Bead Dreams is Bead & Button’s “juried competition of exceptional bead artistry from around the world.” We sponsored the Objects & Accessories category, which was brand-new this year! Bead Dreams defines it as “a non-jewelry item or accessory, including, but not limited to, purses, shoes, sculpture, or wall hangings in any bead-related media.”
Here are the winners and their creations:
1st Place (Prize: $300 Rings & Things gift certificate)
Satoko Toyoda’s “Sparkling Treasure Chest”
2nd Place (Prize: $200 Rings & Things gift certificate)
Heidi Kummli’s “Fortune Teller”
3rd Place (Prize: $100 Rings & Things gift certificate)
Melissa Grakowsky’s “Ceremonial Headdress”
Do you suppose their creations will be featured in an upcoming Bead Dreams calendar?

What great entries!! So generous of you to be a prize sponsor!
I know they will love shopping with you!!!
I saw these at the Bead & Button. Worthy winners all. But that chest…you can hardly believe that is completely covered in beads….it looks like fabric in this picture. It really is amazing! Enjoy the day! Erin
I’d love to see these in person, especially the chest now that you’ve pointed out how detailed the design is!
