Here is what she had to say about the piece and how it related to the challenge theme:

I chose these rich and vibrant colours to recall and capture the beautiful colours of the Indian Summer Sunsets. There is nothing like nature, in this case, SUNSETS, that reminds me more of our Creator God.

Here are our runners-up:

October Challenge Theme

As you will recall, the August EBW Challenge was won by Annie of StudioAnnieVeillette. Her prize is choosing the Challenge Theme for October and here it is now!

Annie's theme is:

Super-Power Jewelry

Disney, the Mouse's house recently made the acquisition of Marvel. That created quite a storm in the industry. We have seen a lot of SuperHeros movies this year and that seems to be just the beginning of the wave. Therefore I would like to challenge you to dedicate a piece to your favorite Super Heros. Immerse yourself in the fantastic and futuristic or step back in time of Disney cartoon. Possibilities are endless! Run as fast and far as your imagination! It doesnt have to depict your favorite heros but a piece with super powers would be just awesome!

Lazer on girls! (and boys!)

So there you have it and doesn't it sound like fun? What exciting and amazing creations will be entered for October? I can hardly wait to see!

You can start your entry today and must complete and list it by midnight Etsy time, October 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 now and September 5, 2009.
