WHEN ASKED TO COMMENT about her fabulous achievement, Anne said: “Winning the competition is still very surreal but a wonderful compliment for the creative hours I dedicate to my Swarovski beadwork. I love making BSO – Bright Shiny Objects, and can’t wait to spend time in Crystal Park Austria with all that Swarovski bling that is just waiting to sneak home in my suitcase!’ Anne fell in to beading and jewellery making by necessity - she was a single mum with four small children and totally broke. That situation has long since passed and now she inspires and motivates others in their beading business ventures. “When I first started out, I was selling earrings made from semi precious stones on eBay.
