November Challenge Theme

Tears of Joy by Deb of beadsandblooms won our September challenge with her Search Light Art Deco Bracel. Her prize for winning is the privilege of choosing the theme for the next challenge. Deb has chosen a theme which I am sure will inspire you for the Etsy BeadWeavers November Challenge:

Ancestral Expressions

Deb says:

I've given a lot of thought to my theme for the November challenge and finally decided. Since November has always been a time of homecoming for me with Thanksgiving and getting family together, that thought led me to family, which led me to heritage and ancestry. So I'd like to challenge everyone to get back to their roots and create something that links them with their heritage. My theme for the November challenge is Ancestral Expressions. Hope this will be fun for everyone. Personally, I have some Bohemian and Irish roots to explore.

Thank you, Deb, for such an inspiring theme.

What will the EBW team members come up with for this challenge? I'm sure it will be interesting and I can hardly wait to see! So let your imaginations run wild and see what you can come up with. Certainly you have lots of room for your unique creativity here!
