CreativeFX GalleryThese are the CreativeFX Colour Challenge Entries, sent to us by our readers. Every 6 weeks, we choose one at random from the previous challenge, and that designer wins a $25 gift certificate. (To spend at beadFX (in store or online), however you please.) After the contest ends - you can still send us your pictures and we will be happy to put them in the gallery, but they will no longer be eligible for the draw. However, they will be eligible for the end of year Viewer's Choice Prize! (To purchase kits, see here) You can use all or some of the beads in the kit - you can add your own, using other beads, findings, etc, from your private stash, from us or even from <gasp> other vendors! The types of beads will vary - they might have seedbeads or firepolish or metal beads or stone or Swarovski or all of the above! You will be getting lots of variety for your money, and a change to play with some bead that you might not have otherwise discovered! We will be adding new kit(s) with new colour-ways approximately every 6 weeks (we give you 45 days from our release date to make something - oodles of time!) Every 6 weeks - a new challenge. At the end of the year - we will hold a Viewer's Choice contest from all the entrants (including the too-late-to-qualify) with a grand prize of a $100 gift certificate!

Here are some pics of what I created using the Moonlit Garden kit. I absolutely fell in love with this kit after seeing it on the website. I was completely blown away by the bead choices included when I came into the store to buy it.

I've Got the Blues
. This was a fun project that I finished at exactly
11:30 p.m. and had photographed by 11:45 p.m. I made the contest just
under the wire. My first ever free-form Peyote project.

Here is my project for the moonlit colour challenge. I created two brooches that can be worn together or separately. They look quite stunning against a black sweater.

I must say I love your colour challenges! For every one, I seem to find a new idea. I can't wait for the next kits!
For
this one, I created a herringbone tube. Then I had to find a way to
incorporate the other beads from the kit. I used head pins! It
gave abit of a 'fan' effect, plus I don't have to worry about the
weight of the beads snapping or stretching the thread! Before inserting
the headpins, I ran a length of beadwire through the tube. Once again,
so I didn't have to worry about my hours of weaving breaking. As a
bonus, it also makes finishing off the necklace a breeze!

Here is my interpretation from the Botticelli’s Palette kit. I had fun making beaded beads as you can see!

My
project was made using Boticelli's Palette. My project isn't jewelry
though - it's a doll. She is called Willow Waiting and she's an
adaptation of a pattern designed by Cindee Moyer. Her body is silk and her
overdress is hand dyed mulberry bark. Her hair is hand dyed/ hand spun wool and
silk and her embellishment is beadwork using Boticelli's Palette and some extra
beads. I hope you like her.

"The rubies and steel kit suggested 'Think Victorian! Think Crusades! Dashing tales of derring-do!', so this necklace was designed with a dark-haired damsel in mind, wearing a long, flowing gown of garnet brocade or velvet."

Eyes of the Storms
My necklace is titled "Eyes of the Storms" and features a Swarovski AB square button as the closure and 4 drops complimenting the back of the necklace; consisting of seedbeads, clear quartz and ice lance leaves. The main neacklace is beaded symmetrically representing "eyes" of furious storms, forged by the Gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightening, and beaded using an extravaganza of beads. The asymmetrical strand of beads rockets around the "eyes", forming the intensity of the intertwined and complimentary cool colors, just like the power of unleashed wind. The front of the necklace swoops down to a two level focal point enhanced by the power of Swarovski bicones, briolettes, fire polished beads and quartz chips; a beautiful Swarovski Snowflake dances, alone, at the end of the drop, held steadily in place by white opals drops and bicones. There, this delicate but strong Snowflake captures any bits of faint light, glistening in it's raw beauty, in the eye of the storm.

An art deco mirror was my inspiration, all glass and crystal. One photo shows the stitch and detail very well, the other shows the whole collar.

This was a lot of fun to make. I incorporated a few pearls as I make that my signature (also my birthstone) in all my pieces. I hand-made a simple toggle in gunmetal Artistic wire to be consistenet with the pendant metal and used a circular peyote stitch to tie the black and red together.

I ordered this kit, Magentarine Fiesta, together with "Soft Moss". I thought for sure I would work on the other one and this would just be in reserve for the time I need to stretch my color combos…. But, this kit jumped out at me and demanded to be done. I love purple and turquoise, but can't say that I would have put them together on my own. This is the result! Gift Certificate Winner!

MOONLIGHT AND MOSS
When I first ordered this kit, I remember it being called Moonlight and Moss. However when it arrived it was call Soft Moss. The first name stuck. I like the idea of the different things coming together. Gift Certificate Winner!

I used the Tuxedo kit and created a 'ribbon' necklace with charms using only the beads in the kit. The necklace wraps around your neck and attaches the two loops with a hook closure on each ring. What fun! Thank you for such a great idea!

Hi! My name is Kate, I'm in Toronto and I stumbled upon BeadFX one day and LOVED what I saw. You guys have awesome beads and I now enjoy ordering from your online store. These are a few (sort of blurry) pics of the piece I created from the "Tuxedo" bead mix. Unfortunately all the detail doesn't show in the not so good quality photos. I hope the gist will get across. Thanks so much! (Gift Certificate winner)

Copper & Turquoise
This was fun to do - I'd been itching to use these copper do-dads - and this lampwork bead was just the right colour! (Note - this is not eligible for either draw - as it was done by staff to get you inspired and to show off what can be done with a kit.)
