June Challenge Theme

The April EBW Challenge was won by Vezsuzsi of beadsbyvezsuzsi. Her prize, as always, is getting to choose our next Challenge Theme. Here is what Vezsuzsi had to say:

Let’s have fun!
When I saw Beadwoman’s necklace at the Time Machine theme, I just loved the humour in it! That’s why I would like to choose HUMOUR for June’s challenge. Humour is international and it has several forms: intelligent, absurd, simple, plebeian etc. I would like to see many-many funny jewellery pieces! Let’s laugh heartily!

The Challenge has been issued and it sounds like lots of fun - in more ways than one! What are you going to come up with? Take up the challenge and create your version of Humor! There are so many possibilities.

You can start today and complete and list it by midnight Etsy time, June 5, 2009!

Rules:
Any style, any technique with a majority of beadweaving is welcome.
ONE only entry allowed per person.
The piece MUST be created between April 30, 2009 and June 5, 2009.

EBW April Challenge - Time Machine Winner!

The April EBW Challenge had 31 entries, with 629 votes in total, and 119 of them went to our winner - 12. Time machine - beadsbyvezsuzs. About this gorgeous necklace, she says:

This necklace was made for the request of Team EBW. I just loved the topic at the first sight. My time machine is working very-very easily. You can turn time forwald or backward with the gears and this is the way to travel to future or past. Silver symbolize the future and tufa is past. I set the tufa by tubular RAW.

If you had the opportunity to create a piece of jewelry that your favorite movie star would wear to a red carpet event, what would it be? This movie star can be real or imagined, and it can be at any time period, well at least, since their have been movies...lol."
