The February Challenge

Welcome to the February challenge! With the Oscars ceremony at the end of this month we thought it would be fun to have a HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR theme. We're talking all out glitz and glamour so raid your bead stash for crystals, pearls and gemstones and create something fit for a queen - or at the very least, a red carpet actress!

*If you do happen to be inspired by a piece worn by an actress or celebrity, past or present, then please respect the original designer's copyright and don't make a direct copy*

THE PRIZE:

This month our sponsor is Rachel and she's offering £15 to spend in her online shop RB Beads!

HOW TO ENTER:

Email a photograph of your entry to Liz at ottbs@live.com along with any other details we have asked for. The challenge runs until Midnight on Monday the 29th of February and the winner is drawn and announced the following day. You can email your entry at any time during the month. The challenge is open to beaders worldwide.
