Showing the World the Talent of Beaders in Ohio
From: Ohio, United States
About me: Ohio Beaders is a Yahoo! Group located at http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/Ohio_Beaders/ . Men and women who live in Ohio and are interested in the art of beading get together and talk online about beading techniques, bead shows and bead sales. They inspire each other to keep creating their beadwork. This blog is designed to showcase the work of Ohio Beaders. Each month new photos of their work will be displayed along with information on how to contact the artist. Relax, enjoy and invite others to see the many talents of Ohio Beaders.

Autumn
This month Ohio Beaders are showing you how Autumn in Ohio has inspired them in their beadwork. The leaves are turning and the pumpkins are plentiful. Somehow to a beader all the fall colors become a color chart for Swarovski crystals and semi-precious beads.

Circles & Squares
Ohio Beaders Challenge
Circles and Squares
What is an Ohio Beaders Challenge? It is a call to all Ohio Beaders members to engage in a bead related undertaking that is a personal test of one's abilities or resources and is demanding but stimulating to those engaged in it.
When? The Challenge started July 16th and ran through August 31st , 2009. Items were made during this time period and submitted by August 31st .
Theme? The theme is Circles and Squares which means they used circles and/or squares in their piece. A round bead does not qualify as a circle, but a flat coin shaped bead does. They could use any bead related medium including wire.
