A big warm 'Thank You' to all my friends, fans and supporters who voted for me me help in win the 'Artisan Challenge' for May. This was the first time ever that I had entered my jewelry creations in a contest. And won!! This month's theme was 'Beach'. I created this piece using golden brown lip shell discs and natural white pearls. Actually, I think this is a very nice way to keep your creative spirits alive and get some exposure too. Can't wait to know the next month's challenge and start working on it....Results of the contest can be viewed here: http://artisanspotlightajd.blogspot.com/
Congrats! I've entered a few contests too, though none yet where I have to create something new. I am in a Facebook group called Color Challenge, though. Each week they post a new color scheme for inspiration and everyone posts what they came up with at the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that stuff like that is great for boosting creativity, especially if you feel like you're in a rut. I know for me, it's most helpful when the colors aren't ones I usually work with; then I have to think outside the box more.
I can give you the link to the group, if you're interested.
