The Design Challenge:
Feel free to create in
any way you wish, using your bead as inspiration for your colorway,
theme, technique. You are welcome to use additional Color of Dreams
beads in your design, as well as artisan beads and gems and anything you
like. You are not limited to jewelry.
You may share a dream
that has come true, one you are working on now, or one you hope for in
the future. The one goal of the hop: we'll focus on our dreams as
entirely possible, with the idea, "If we can dream it, we can achieve
it." So, try creating "from the end" -- as if your dream has already come true -- using your jewelry design to do so.
Hum, this made me dream of the Island of Burano in Italy, I went there one summer and I had the best meal of my life.
Burano is a place I definitely want to go again.
A dutch spiral bracelet using the bead I got from Rita.
