EBW September 2015 Challenge: "Black, White, and One"

Kris Empting-Obenland from KrisDesignFSP, the winner of both team and public votes of our July challenge has chosen the theme for September:


Black, White, and One

Black and White can be simple, classic, and elegant. Perfect fashion for a summer wardrobe paired with bright colors, summer whites or that little black dress. Kris, winner of our Architecture challenge, is encouraging us to go one step further. Bring a pop of color (just one!) to your black and white design! The possibilities are endless!


Note to team members: Please check the challenge rules to see what details must be in your listing. The entry must be listed in your Etsy shop by September 5th 2015.

EBW August 2015 Challenge "Lost Civilizations"



Edita Kricenaite from RebelSoulEK, the winner of both the team and public votes of our June Challenge, has chosen the theme for August:




Lost Civilizations


"Humanity has seen several legendary civilizations, each of them having a distinctive feature, outlook, religion and artistic expression. Which of them inspires you the most?


Interested in the history of the Indus Valley, Easter Island, Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia or China? Drawn to mythical Atlantis or Lemuria? Do the lost civilizations of the Mayans, Etruscans or Aztecs hold a fascination for you or perhaps one not mentioned here ... there were so many!


Create a piece of jewelry for an ancient civilization and give a brief description of what inspired you and why." 



Note to team members: Please check the challenge rules to see what details must be in your listing. The entry must be listed in your Etsy shop by August 5th. Happy beading!
