Thank you all for your comments.
I realized that this Challenge is not about first place and last place, it's not about winning (it is a nice filling, though)! It is about sharing our abilities and our concept in the art of beadweaving, our diversity, and last, but not least, our friendship. I enjoyed very much all your entries and I am very excited about being the one that will announce the next theme. I cannot wait to see your entries for the June Challenge as well.:) ileana
