The Next Contest !
Ok here we go....
Im not sure the stoffobeads contest board has fully worked out all the details yet but here goes....
The prize;
1) Win one 2006 collectible bead artist calendar (an approximate $15 value with free S&H) or just visit the above link and buy one. 2 calendars to be awarded.
The Contest:
Phase I-Write a description of a bead into the comments section. Description should include color, size, techniques to be used, glass, shape, etc... After 1 month, on April 8th, no more descriptions will be allowed.
Then we will move into Phase II a voting phase. You all will select which bead designs I will make. The winners (there will be two) will be the two people who send in the 2 best bead descriptions that receive the most votes. Votes will be tallied up after one week, ending on April 15th.
Phase III- I will attempt to make the beads as described and post their resultant photos.
Phase IV -If worthy, these beads will then be the prizes for the next contest.
No limit on entries and if the same person receives the two highest votes for two bead descriptions that person may win two calendars. The main limit to this contest is my ability to make the beads as described, or my ability to interpret what is described. Therefore - no beads requiring electroforming, enamel painting, or other complex process I may not have the capability to perform. Please feel free to clarify with me in advance what is feasible. Diagrams, sketches, clip art, or other electronic media is acceptable to be attached.

I would like you to create a faux gemstone carved scarab bead. Something that resembles lapis lazuli with lots of pyrite or chinese jade, creamy white and green. I like the boro glass. Don't know any techniques, just like handmade lampwork and boro beads. Dawn, bdluvr from justbeads
Allright Dawn ! The first entry and it sounds like an interesting bead. I think I could do that. Thanks for your entry !
Oops, had to cut & paste...Put this in the wrong comment section! Sorry.

Ok, after pining over a losing bid on one of your lapidary donuts, here's an idea: "Molten lava/hot coals". Inner colors of firey reds,oranges, yellows banked beneath an outer (textured?) crust of charcoal gray or black -- lapidary cuts into the crust reveal the smoldering core within. This would also work well on a barrel-shaped bead. Possible? shamrock at JB
I don't know anything about making beads or working glass but I love watching glass being worked.
How about a cobalt blue bead with swirls of green - reminiscent of the ocean - then kind of S shaped facets/cuts in it to be reminiscent of fish jumping in the waters. "Caribbean Blue"
Have you gotten any new ideas for prickley pear beads?
Guess Who!!!
