Judi Wins

First Place for Judi's creations

The International  Bead Expo came to Central New York recently and was held at the Liverpool Holiday Inn. Crowds from throughout the region converged on the expo and the many vendors there to address the needs of beaders throughout the area.

An important part of Expo was a contest for beaders with the theme of "Ultra Violet" based on Pantone's color of the year. The contest was sponsored by the Bead Society of CNY. Gallery 54's own Judi Witkin came out on top taking home First Place in the contest.
