We have something a little different for you as this month I'm handing over the reins for the July challenge to Catherine Chinoy! Over to you Catherine...
"Welcome to the July challenge, which departs from the usual colour themes, but will hopefully stretch your creativity just as much!
As I am a full time worker in a research laboratory, I love scientifically inspired art pieces. For this month, I would like you to choose a scientific subject, and interpret it either literally or in abstract form, and share your project and your inspiration with us.
I'd also like you to have completely free rein, but if anyone is struggling for ideas, then try typing in 'Scientific Discovery', 'History of Science', 'Famous Scientists', or Scientific Images' into your favourite search engine. Discoveries from any branch of Science, Technology, Mathematics and from any era are valid.
From Atoms to Astrophysics, Microbes to Ecosystems, Past to Present.... can't wait to see where inspiration leads you. "

Good luck everyone and happy beading!
I have so many ideas battling for attention now! Which one will I choose?
ReplyDeleteYay! Right up my alley :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea.. there must be so many different inspiring photos for this, I must get busy and search! It's awesome to have a different type of challenge, even though I adore our color themed ones. :)
