120 Bead Project
It all started on a sunny afternoon with the idea to create a new challenge for myself. Make 300 black and white beads. How many unique designs could I produce using only those two colors and of course, clear for encasing? So, I set a course for meeting this exciting challenge and with that, the 120 Bead Project would follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the 40 Bead Project. I know! You thought my 40 Bead Project was a challenge, but this one is just a bit different.
The original 40 Bead Project
In the beginning of my beadmaking career it was how many colors can I use at one time? This color, no this one . . . it was a flurry of glass and ideas storming around in my head! Mercy! Nothing looked good together and I had no clue where I was going. I began to put myself on restriction, limiting the number of colors I was allowed to use for a morning at the torch. Amazingly, I was more focused, had a better understanding of how each color would react, and I had a body of work I could actually use! Working within the guidelines I give makes you work harder and be more creative. You are being challenged to make a very specific kind of bead. This makes you step outside your usual box and stretch your skills and creativity. You gain the most when you follow the "rules" so read carefully! Download the FREE 40-Bead Project.
