Winner of People's Bead 2011: Denise Tong, Hong Kong

 

We are very proud to announce the winner of Peoples Bead 2011. Maybe not too surprisingly, the fans and collectors voted for 'Rolling Waves'.

Denise Tong is our new Trollbeads designer, sharing with us the symbolic image of Rolling Waves.

Not only is the bead graphically beautiful - but it also has an empathic, symbolic message of the strength and unpredictability of our nature.

Denise Tong is trained as a Chemical Engineer, and also has a degree in Fine Arts - the analytical mind vs. the emotional mind. What seems like a contradiction has given her the ability to see things in different perspectives.

"Inspirations come from everything and everywhere… one just has to be attentive to her surroundings and feelings.

Once an idea is formed, senses are activated, feelings are evoked, the light at the end becomes visible, then it all comes down to mapping a path to the light and trying out different means to make it happen, back track if it doesn't feel right.

The winning bead is inspired by the tsunami that swept the east coast of Japan and left devastating damages on 11 March 2011", Denise Tong says.

Rolling Waves will be available with the Autumn Collection. All our finalists and semi-finalists will receive their special gifts at the launch of the Autumn Collection in August 2011.

We welcome our new designer and thank you all for playing along.
