I am organizing a Spring Beading Challenge that is open to all!
The tradition of the beading challenge was begun by Beads4You in 2006. Each contestant has the same set of beads to work with, and can make absolutely anything they choose. (Not limited to jewelry.) The beads can be purchased from my Etsy shop for $10. There is no additional cost. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10073724
I've created a web site with all of the relevant info, including all of th rules, who our celebrity judge is, and what the prizes are: lava-jewelry.com/spring08
Please contact me at beading@lava-jewelry.com if you have any questions about the contest or if you wish to purchase a bead set without opening an account on Etsy.
