| CONGRATULATIONS LEA! |
Art Beads should be handmade by an artist, and not mass produced.
Remember, the focus is on replacing handmade with handmade, and
beads/components taken should be replaced with beads/components that are made
by an individual artist - not an organization.

| Taken from chain |
It is so important that the quality of the beads be maintained, so we can keep the Art Bead Love Tour alive. We want to share consistent quality with the next winner.

If you make your own handmade beads or components, it's a great way to get your beads into the world for people to try them out, or, if you hoard collect art beads it's a great way to share your collection and get some new additions as well.
