Unusual interesting Beading Challenge - April 2012

Dear beaders, 

As every week, looking for beading challenges, I found this interesting and unusual challenge in JEANNIE'S BLOG

It is called "Do Over". The rules are simple: You get from Jeannie a Do Over challenge piece, which is an old, boring piece of jewelry, and your challenge is to turn it into something beautiful and amazing.

You can find 3rd Do Over Challenge in Jeannie's blog. 

Be aware to post the "before" and "after" pieces on Tuesday, April 24th. 

Looks to me as a great idea to challenge yourself with someon else's piece. It makes you creative and sharpen your skills. 

I like this challenge, I think it is worth trying at least once. 

As you know, challenging ourselves as artists is important for personal grouth. This is why I share the challenges I find in the internet with you. I share those that I find interesting. I participate in some and write about it in MY BLOG. You are welcome to enter and read about my personal beadwork journal. 

Comments are welcome.

And now about the French beaders..I do not know what you think about the French designers.. But every time I am in Paris I admire the French fasion and elegant taste. It is so different from where I come from. 

I found some French beading bloggers. Here are some photos. You can click on them to see the blogs. They are in French of course but even if you do not understand the language the jewelry speak for themselves. 

Am I  right or am I right?? :-)
