2007 Challenge:  Beaded Animals

In 2007 the theme was beaded animals, and as usual we left the interpretation open-ended.  Participants could bead an entire animal, bead onto a stuffed animal, or find another way to incorporate beads with an animal.  The beads could be attached by bead work or with glue, and needed to be a new creation.  Customers voted for their favorite in two categories: Ages 12 and under, and Over age 12.
