My MZ Glass Prize

You may recall that back in October, I took 2nd Place in the MZ Glass Design Challenge. Well, I finally collected my prize winnings this past weekend! Margaret was clearing out some old beads, so my $300 credit went a long way! Doesn't the central beetle remind you of old trade beads? He's definitely going to be made into something tribal.

The 3d butterfly is a new design and I knew I had to have one. If you want one, too, you can visit MZ's Etsy shop, where you can also see the new bees and caterpillars!

And just because I like showing off, here's the winning necklace again:

Don't forget MZ's challenge!

Margaret Zinser of MZ Glass has extended the deadline on her design challenge! She's now accepting submissions until October 1st, so you have one week left if you had something in mind but thought you'd missed your chance.

Don't forget that you can submit multiple designs! I already submitted Inana at Dusk (pictured above), and I may enter a second necklace if I have time to finish it.
