I am a member of the Australian Beading Forum... an online beading group that consists of over 500 members. It's a fantastic site where beaders from Australia and overseas can display their work as well as enter various challenges.
Each week the Year of Jewellery challenge takes place where a theme is selected and members contribute their pieces to fit that particular theme.
The most recent theme was "The Fall of Troy". When I thought of Troy four things came to mind... the Trojan Horse, old coins, lots of gold and discs.
So here is the piece I designed.
Bohemian brass chain embellished with brass coins, brass discs and glass beads. The gold embellishments were from a very old necklace I had which I pulled apart. In fact I remember playing with and wearing this necklace as a child so it could be nearly as old as Troy! The gorgeous lampwork horse which worked in beautifully in representing the Trojan Horse was made by a fellow forum member.
Well judging finished this morning and I am proud to annouce I won by 4 votes and am now the proud owner of this great Winner's banner to display!
I am very excited as this is one piece I am very proud of!

You are so amazingly talented. The fact that you even know how to make a necklace and do it so beautifully is so fantastic. Congratulations. Your necklace deserved to win and I don't even know what the competition was like!!
I've used Kaspersky security for a couple of years, I would recommend this anti virus to everybody.
