Beadsmith® Challenge

What happens when you give three people one set of materials to play with? Beadsmith did just that for Jean, Dustin, and Jamie. The rules for the Beadsmith Challenge are simple—we use our favorites of the materials provided and, where necessary, we round out our projects with our own materials. It is a challenge for each of us to work with products we might not have considered using, and the challenge stretches our creative sides one more notch.

Projects from the Beadsmith Challenge will occasionally be featured in Beadwork and on this page. Look for Beadsmith supplies at your local beadshop.

Below are instructions for creating the Beadsmith Challenge projects featured in the April/May 2003 issue:
