Voting for December Challenge :Emotional Rollercoaster"



Marsha from HauteIceBeadwork, internal vote winner of our October 2012 "Misty Winter's Dawn" challenge selected the theme for our December 2012 challenge:


Emotional Roller Coaster 

Marsha's theme guidelines were as follows:

Find beady inspiration in a human emotion. Choose a feeling or state of being: joy, sorrow, cowardice, jealousy, anxiety, or anything that describes a powerful emotion. Create a beaded artwork that expresses your chosen emotion.

Think about the use of design elements as you work. Colors all have emotional connotations, and lines and textures do, too. You can use repetition, gradation, mass, scale and proportion, pattern, contrasts, balance or harmony, anything you can think of to make your work look and feel like your chosen emotion. Try to avoid using symbols, like a smiley face or emoticons.

The finished mosaic collection of our work will provide an "emotional roller coaster ride," a fast paced, whirlwind tour of feeling and sensation for our fans, as they view our many different interpretations of this theme. Remember to explain how you designed your work to demonstrate your chosen emotion in your description.

Voting for for this challenge  is on December 9th - 15th.

  1. The entries were all beautiful, but I was rather disappointed that I was unable to read about some of them on the internal voting site which is where I went first. Some sites had hundreds and hundreds of items and no search box to be able to find their entry. It was not prominently place on the first page and people do not want to look through all those entries to find them. One entry I never did find at all, may not have been looking correctly, but I didn't find it. Next time, I'll know to come to the forum first so I can see them with out having to do all that searching!! LOL
