Our Monthlly Challenge! Firebird Flamework aka Deb Batten v. Me aka Mallory

Well, it's that time of the month again,
Stop it, you know what I mean! Deb Batten aka Firebird Flamework and I are challenging each other so that we can develop and nurture our creative souls.

We are trying different media each month with the hopes that, as we progress, we will become more fluid and creative in our greatest love, melting glass. We want to awaken those parts of our brains that govern the creative process and make ourselves more receptive to those creative urges and inspirations.

This month, we are tackling beaded kumihimo. Right now, we are scheduled to reveal on the 26th. Come see what we make! This is going to be fun!!!!!

You can check out Deb's side of the story on her blog here. See you at the end of the month!

I just entered this

Into the monthly challenge at the Art Bead Scene Blog. Now, assuming I followed the directions correctly, and I think I did this month, I will be entered into a drawing on ABS.

The challenge this month was based on the art of Wassily Kadinsky "Farbstudie Quadrate (Color Study of Squares)." I chose to focus on the shapes in this study. I worked in very muted tones. (Something must be wrong with me!) rofl I love the study of shapes, and this bracelet just seemed to take shape independently of what I wanted to do!
