Since Inca's idea of a challenge swap seems to be a success, I'm going to propose a 2nd one, but it will be slightly different this time-part Inca's idea and part Lisa's. Here's the plan:
Everyone who wants to participate will send any type of beads or components they want to me, and if everyone would also include about $2 to help offset return postage I would appreciate it. I will put together kits out of everything I receive and re-send them to all participants.
You can make anything you want from it, jewelry or non-jewelry. Once the kits are sent out I'll set a completion date. You can send pics of your finished piece to me, and I'll post them all, or you can post it yourself, whichever is easiest for you. There won't be any judging per se, just showing off the results of the challenge for all to see. This is strictly for fun so anyone is welcome to participate.
The theme colors for this challenge are blue, green and yellow. Any type of metal is fine if you want to send components or findings instead. Black, white and clear beads are also fine. I figured it would be easier to design around a set color palette instead of a mishmash. Stringing material could also be included if someone has interesting ribbon, cord, colored wire or beading wire, etc. Anything goes, basically.
I will give this a week or two for people to reply to this post or email me personally, and then I'll post the final list of participants so everyone will know approximately how much of their chosen item to send. It doesn't have to be a lot, just enough that everyone can have a few of each item. You can add anything else from your stash to complete the piece once you have the kit.
Pat and Lisa have already said they're interested. Who else wants to join?
