Autumn on a String

Welcome to the Quarterly Challenge! This time, the theme is:

All entries must have been made by the entrant. Entries must be comprised of beads, any shape or size, and any assembly technique may be used. This includes stringing, loom weaving, off loom techniques, sculpture, wire work, you name it! The finished piece must reflect the theme of the Challenge, "Autumn on a String" and be accompanied by a short description of the piece and the components used. You may also include information regarding your design, particular methods or software used, etc.

Entries may be either your own original designs or those from published materials, as long as you have the permission of the original designer. One entry per person, contest void where prohibited.

Send your entries to me at Beadwork.Guide@About.com, and be sure to list "Challenge Entry" in the subject box. I will let you know that I have received your entry, and if there are any problems viewing it. Please include your full name (real name) and a screen name if you prefer to be identified as such, and your email address.

Additional rules: The submission must be a jpeg format picture of the piece. You may send 2 pictures, such as a front & back, or two separate views, but pictures may be no larger than 500 X 500 pixels. DO NOT SEND Zip files or anything that must be opened to view the piece. In light of the recent email virus problems, any entries sent in any format other than JPEG will be returned to the entrant, unopened.

The contest will run from August 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001. Deadline for entries is midnight PST, September 30, 2001. The winner will be announced in mid October. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at beadwork.guide@about.com. Have fun!
