It is time for Ohio Beaders to dig out all the bead magazines they have been hoarding for years and find the projects earmarked as making “someday”. Well, someday is here! Ohio Beaders are making the project between April 23, 2008 and June 23, 2008 then submitting a picture to be placed in the June Showcase. We hope you enjoy our work!

Guidelines:

The instructions for the project must come out of a published bead magazine. It can be in the published magazine or at the published bead magazine’s web site. Online sites only are not considered a published magazine.

Jewelry artists1can be inspired by walking on the beach, climbing a mountain or watching a sunrise. In Ohio, during the winter, we can also be inspired by a photograph or artwork of a beautiful landscape, animals, fantasy creatures, people, and hundreds of other things. Ohio Beaders were given a choice of photographs and art to inspire them and below you will find their interpretation of the photo or artwork included with their jewelry piece.
Susan Sherman, owner of Gahanna Bead Studio, has donated three beautiful Unicorne Glass Toggles to award to the 3 favorite interpretations. Favorites will be announced at the Ohio Beaders Gathering near Cleveland April 13th. When in the Columbus area, be sure to visit:
