I really like how Lisa made her donuts with two holes. I can see a lot of stringing options this this group of beads! 
Thank you all for participating! A random winner was chosen from all our entries and the winner just happens to be the first person to finish their entry, Cindy Dolezal! Cindy will be getting a wonderful grab bag from Marla's Mud!
We here at the Beads-of-Clay Blog would like to continue to run challenges from time to time...perhaps monthly.... So that leads me to the question; What makes a good Challenge? What makes you as a designer jump into the design chair and get to work? Is it all about the prizes? Or is it something else?
Thanks so much for the post. I'm just grateful for the inspiration and motivation. Thanks for the creative spark to paint outside the box. Congrats to Cindy ~ :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I love challenges for the same reason as Lisa said. They really do serve to nudge you out of your comfort zone and create something you might not have created without the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful beads Lisa and you made them up into a lovely piece. I also love the way you displayed the beads in a clay bowl.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Entries!!! I am sending a goodie bag to BOTH of these entries!!!
ReplyDeleteCOngratulations ladies!

ReplyDeleteThat's very sweet. You guys are awesome. Happy Birthday Cindy! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Gail? Would you like a freee goodie bag too? Just e-mail me your address!
ReplyDeleteReally Really beautiful work!!! Congrats! When a challenge is announced it is like a little push in a specific direction.For people like me with the attention thing, this is very helpful. And I'll admit the prizes are a stimulus because I love love love clay!!! Sometimes-especially lately- things pop up and a deadline won't be met, but the creativity has been a brewin and that is a wonderful thing:)
