“Challenge: Owyhee Riverbed”
 |  |  |
Description from KarenDe-Challenge Chick: We all found treasures and opened up new horizons as we scoured the site for eggs. Now, let's put that to work on expanding boundaries in our own beading! So here's my challenge to you all: Select a bead you normally wouldn't like or choose, and design a pick around it :) Here's my try with Owyhee Jasper.
Green Girl Pewter Fishy 25x16mm Buy this Bead: |
Silver Creek Jasper Puff Square 30mm Buy this Gemstone Bead: |
Green Girl Pewter Seek Wisdom Link 32x8mm OUT OF STOCK

Smoky Rose says:Fun!!!
I’ll tell ya, girls – this is where we really see all of your artistic talents – to pick something you don’t care for and make it beautiful.
Congrats to all – for using things you don’t like, you’ve sure made some beauties!
I’m gonna play too!!!!

Smoky Rose says:too funny, too! ’cause I was talking with Jeannes Gems last evening and she was inspring me to try some orange – which I don’t care for, as a rule – and threw some ideas together…. but I’ll save that thought – that would be cheating. I’ll find something else that I don’t like – ok kid, stop talking, start doing
