The April/May Challenge

Welcome to the April/May Challenge "Spring Fait Accomplis"! 

This challenge is a 2 month Finish Fest.

Let's dig through our stashes and pull out all those UFOs (unfinished objects) and half done WIPs (works in progress), I know we all have them, and get them done! If you don't have any UFOs or WIPs, you can still enter with the items you have made during this period.

Just one photo per person please, with all your finished items within it, you get one entry per each item finished! Please include the number of items entered in your email.

The Prize:

This prize comes direct from my stash to yours and includes a Lisa Peters Russ cabochon and 40g of my "Lake" custom bead soup.

HOW TO ENTER:

Email a photograph of your entries to Sarah at ottbs@live.com along with any other details we have asked for. The challenge runs until Midnight on Wednesday 31st May 2017 and the winner is drawn and announced the following day. You can email your entry at any time during the 2 months. The challenge is open to beaders worldwide.

RULES & OTHER INFORMATION:

• You can use any craft technique but it must include beads.
• Your entries must be finished.
• If your entry isn't your own design you must credit the original designer.
