July Challenge

July Challenge "The Secret Garden"

This month's challenge theme was chosen by our winner of the May Challenge Ileana of EnchantedBeads and I think that the theme is excellent and once again produced some amazing work by our members.

The theme - The Secret Garden was Ileana's challenge "Thinking of a summer theme for our July Challenge, I am obsessing with beautiful flowers, magical gardens, sunny landscapes. Every artist has a secret garden, real or imaginary. A garden full of colors! Birds, butterflies, lizards could be guests as well. I am inviting you to stir up your imagination and to introduce your own secret garden to us. It would be even more exciting if you accompany your beautiful beadwoven creation with a picture that inspired you. "

EBW June Challenge - Phenomenon

I am participating in this Challenge again. My entry is #1, "Ice Storm"

This theme was chosen by Isabella, beads4me, the Winner of our April Challenge. To best decide the Winner, you can click on their links below the image. You can vote on your Favorite from June 9th to June 15th.

"As I Have said before, I have found that the nature is the perfect creation, it always gives me inspiration to create some thing of my own by using the colors or the appearance. The ability to use it and let it effect our handmade creation is amazing by itself.
In the last few weeks, we were all witnesses to another affect of one such Iceland volcano.
Try to remember one Phenomenon that amazed you the most and transfer it to amazing beaded jewelry".
