October Challenge Theme: "Owl Totem"

Mariya of BeadCatcher, winner of the Scotland the Brave challenge for her Scottish Thistle Set, has named the October challenge theme!
 
Owl Totem

I have a special love for owls. I like to work on my jewelry late at night, when my kids and family are already sleeping. My art room windows face the adjacent forest, and sometimes I hear owls hooting away in the night.

Owls are rare and mysterious birds. They are mostly nocturnal creatures, live hidden from human life and we have always found night time to be mysterious and full of the unknown. Throughout history and across many cultures, people have regarded owls with fascination and awe. The owl was a symbol for Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy, before the Greeks gave their pantheon human forms. According to myth, an owl sat on Athena’s blind side, so that she could see the whole truth. In Ancient Greece, the owl was a symbol of a higher wisdom, and it was also a guardian of the Acropolis.

Today symbolic owl meaning includes wisdom, mystery, messages, intelligence, protection, secrets, hidden knowledge. While thinking about your owl project you may consider moon, night, stars, branches, forest elements and feathers. Good luck to all! Have fun and happy beading! Mariya(BeadCatcher).

Team members may begin their entry no sooner than August 19 and list it by October 5th by midnight Eastern time!

August Challenge Theme Chosen: "Scotland The Brave"

Dayna of DaynaMilesDesigns won the team vote on the June "Steampunk Style" challenge and has chosen a theme for the August Challenge "Scotland the Brave"!

"Even though Scotland is only the size of the state of South Carolina, it is a country rich in history, culture and iconic symbols. And it is the home of my ancestors. This month's challenge is to create a piece that reflects some aspect of this magical country. Think of the poets, the history and heritage, the legends, the colors of the heather and the moors, the many colors of clan tartans....and golf! And if you're a fan of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books you'll know that the 8th book in the series just came out and "Outlander" a new TV series premiers on Starz in August!"

EBW Team members may begin creating a piece for this theme no sooner than June 21, and must submit your entry by August 5th. Have fun and be Brave!

THE CHALLENGE RULES

Any EBW member may create one new beadweaving of your own design (not from a tutorial, kit, book, magazine, or class) in response to the challenge theme. Your work should be entirely beadwoven, or have a substantially woven component, to feature and promote our art form. You may not renew an existing piece, or list a tutorial or made-to-order item as an entry.

Members are expected to participate in challenges when possible, and required to do so once each year. Start the weaving anytime after the theme is announced. Complete and list the work for sale on Etsy by the 5th of the month of the challenge, before midnight Etsy (Eastern Standard) time. Your listing date is proof you entered by the deadline, and also determines your placement in the mosaic, so DO NOT RENEW your work until after the voting poll opens on the 9th.

Your listing must be for sale for the duration of the challenge (not made to order), unless it sells from your shop. If that happens, please alert the moderators to your sale, and you can still participate. If you must reserve your listing for purchase, please follow Etsy's recommendations and edit both your title and your description to begin with: "RESERVED FOR (buyer's Etsy username, or designation of buyer's choice) ONLY." Etsy does not allow the listing of items not for sale, so reserving your entry to sell elsewhere or keep for yourself is not permitted. Please do not put your shop on vacation mode when you have an item entered in the challenge, or deactivate your entry from the time you list, until the close of the challenge. If you must be away from your shop, please leave your challenge entry active, with a message explaining the date the item will shipped if purchased."

WHAT INFORMATION MUST BE IN MY LISTING?

Your listing must include the following four (4) things:
1. The theme of the challenge. For example, “This (describe your work) was created for the Etsy Beadweavers Team (insert the month) challenge on the theme (insert the title of the theme).”

3. The address of our team blog where the voting will take place and the voting dates. For example, “Please visit our team blog, http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com between the 9th and 15th and vote for your favorite entry.”

2014 Spring Swap Big Reveal

Every year our team hosts a Spring Swap between members that wish to participate.  It is a great way to learn something about another team member and create an item specific to their taste, colours and style.  This year we had 17 participants from around the globe.  Each person creates an item for one other in the group, they are not allowed to show their work until the Big Reveal after everyone has received their swap item.  The particpants make for one other person and receive an item from someone different from the group, this way you never know what you will receive and from who you will receive it.
