August Challenge Theme - Art Deco

Staci of Pink Pooch Designs placed second in our June challenge (first place winner is no longer with EBW Team) with her Casablanca Photo Ribbon Bracelet. Her prize is the privilege of choosing the theme for the next challenge. Staci has chosen a really fun theme for the Etsy BeadWeavers August challenge:
Art Deco

What will the EBW team come up with for this challenge? I can hardly wait to see! Let your imaginations go and see what you come up with...lots of room for your creativity here!
Rules:
Any style, any technique with a majority of beadweaving is welcome
ONE only entry per person
Must be created between June 30, 2008 and August 5th, 2008

Thank you, Staci, for such an inspiring theme. OK everyone, if you've already finished your entry for the July challenge (A Midsummer's Night Dream! - voting begins July 9th) then get beading on a Art Deco!

See our FAQ here for all of the details on the rules of our challenges.

Wow! I might be able to do something with this theme. Have to go look what Art Deco would encompass.

Oooh, what a cool theme for a challenge! Now, I have to do some brainstorming to see if I can come up with something worthy of such a great theme!

Yay ! I already have a bracelet pattern that I designed that is art deco "flavored."

Julie said...

Oddly enough - I had started on a square stitched bracelet yesterday with an art deco theme in mind BEFORE the challenge was announced....lol. So I guess I will actually be participating in this challenge. I guess I had been picking up the art deco vibe...lol.
