Falling on the Edge of October Design Challenge

Falling on the Edge of October

Design Challenge & Blog Hop

Featuring the lampwork art of

Maryse Fritzsch-Thillens

GLASS BEAD ART LAMPWORK

"SPARKLING ROCKS"  

When Maryse created her popular "sparkling rocks"in autumn shades, I fell in love! I knew immediately I wanted to share her beautiful beads and hostess a fall design challenge:

Create autumnal jewelry representing October, Halloween, Thanksgiving --

whatever you wish - with SPARKLING ROCKS! Your design should reflect elements of the season: turning leaves, apples and berries, pumpkins, vines ...

http://www.coastalvirginiamag.com/

Themes of giving thanks, abundance, appreciation, 

bounty, changes, transformation and pathways...

 An autumnal colorway for the harvest, fall foliage, changing leaves...

Each participating artist will receive one sparkling rock art bead.

On Sunday, October 5th, we will reveal our designs and blog hop. 

All artists will be entered to win a $25 GC to Glass Bead Art Lampwork.

 Artists are welcome to purchase additional Glass Bead Art lampwork for designs. 

Maryse is generously offering a coupon for Falling on the Edge of October participants. 

Artists may email me (toltecjewels@aol.com) for the code. 

Maryse creates sparkling rocks in a variety of colors, and other gorgeous beads!
