We’ve been promoting our annual Bead Dreams competition for a few weeks now, encouraging you to enter beadwork in any of the seven categories. We just love seeing your beautiful beadwork emerge form its packaging and arranged with care for judging! And you’d better believe you’ll be beaming with joy if your beadwork finds itself displayed in the Bead Dreams display case at the Bead&Button Show.

But maybe making a Bead Dreams piece isn’t one of your bead dreams, or perhaps you can’t make it to the show to see the winning beadwork in person. You can still enjoy the beauty of Bead Dreams every day of the year with the 2010 Bead Dreams calendar. I know, I know, 2010 is a long, long way off, but the calendar features beadwork from the first- and second-place winners of the 2008 Bead Dreams competition, which wasn’t that long ago. Plus, if you pre-order now, your calendar will be on its way in June already.

Perhaps a calendar is just what you need to inspire your own Bead Dreams entry. Or perhaps all you need is a little encouragement, in which case….

Everyone has a design worthy of Bead Dreams in them! We can’t wait to see yours!
