The 17 pieces that are up for the People's Choice Award are amazing - not only for the skill in design and workmanship, but in how different the individual beaders interpreted their vision for the same set of beads they all received.
The Beads East Challenge site has both still shots and a video with closeup details of each of the pieces. It is narrated by long time beader and author, Ann Benson.

By the way, Houston Bead Society and bead embroiderer extraordinaire - Lynn Little - is one of the finalists. Her piece is No. 34. Lynn says she was inspired by a pattern in a book by Robin Atkins who happens to be one of my favorite bead artists.
