Mary Donegan was the winner of Amy Fraser’s beautiful medallion in our most recent contest. Here’s what she wrote about her own inspirations:
I find most of my inspiration in antique jewelry and nature. I try new strengthening ideas from Bead and Button Magazine. Those that I use to rebuild old Jewlery are the ones that most resemble the original design. Thanks for the Truely wonderful help this my first year doing this!
Yay, Mary 
Well, congrats to Mary Donegan. Maybe she will share what she does with it. Wouldn’t that be fun?
I hope she will!
