Etsy BeadWeavers April 2016 Challenge "Pompeii"

Many thanks to the February team vote winner Cira Troilo for a great Challenge for April!  Cira would like to see a touch of Antique Italian culture in a Challenge all about Pompeii,  the ancient Roman city that was destroyed and buried under volcanic ash in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

The style and colours should be representative of the era,  jewelry in the ancient style of Pompeii with the use of metallic elements would be great.  The style was very rich but minimal and often featured cameos, carved stones with faces, pearls and gold.Colours of the time included royal blue, turquoise, green, red or bordeaux.

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!
