Description: Hand-painted beaded gourd. Glass beads, porcelain, abalone, bone, and dyed leather are sewn on in bands. The design is a geometric basket design.

About this Award: This award is also called the "passion award". Each juror selects one piece after all other awards have been decided. The Judge's Choice Awards are designed to bring recognition to a work that each juror, independently, feels is outstanding. These pieces may have been overlooked due to the limited number of awards or because they fell outside other award categories.

Juror's Comments:
A. Abeita: A unique and beautiful way to create a gourd pot; the beadwork and imagery have a unique contemporary flair. I like it!
