won the hearts of the voters in the Etsy BeadWeavers Stormy Weather challenge.

Erin, aka ThePreciousBeads, is a relative newcomer to the Etsy BeadWeavers Team; but she's already showing off her artistic talents and beadweaving skills with her entry into the March challenge. Erin will have the privilege of choosing the theme for the May challenge, so keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of her chosen theme sometime before the end of the month.

11. Eye of the Storm Necklace, by triz

22. Lightning Storm, by PinkPoochDesigns

12. Ice Storm - Peyote Freeform Necklace, by totallytwisted

We had 32 beautiful entries this month, from 22 of our members; and thanks to a few of our members who kept the forum posts alive, posted in their blogs and other sites, and created Treasuries filled with these beauties, we had a whopping 736 votes!!!
