These are the CreativeFX Colour Challenge Entries, ALL of them - so it's big page (But you can scroll down while it loads - or pick a shorter page from the menu just below.) sent to us by our readers. Every 6 weeks or, 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 about 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!

Double Delight: Copper Chainmaille and Blue Goldstone Necklace

Hi,

Finally done and may I say what an absolute pleasure it was to be challenged like this!

I completed 2 very different projects:

(1) Copper chainmaille and blue goldstone necklace

I had ordered the blue goldstone squares sometime ago, but never managed to find the "right" colours to work with them. Imagine my surprise that copper was the answer! The chainmaille flowers were fun to complete and the leaf made the perfect pendant. The set includes a necklace, bracelet, and 2 pairs of earrings.

Details of the items that were added to the kit - round copperbeads, Swarovski copper AB crystals, and copper findings.

(2) Brick stitched rounds and St. Petersburg chain necklace

There were very few purple beads in my stash at home - it's a colour to which I was not drawn, and a colour that I didn't think worked well with others. Surprise! What a beautiful way to discover that purples blend with copper & creamy colours. Since the necklace is quite "showy," I kept the earrings quite subdued.

Details of the items that were added to the kit - size 15/0 copper lined crystal beads and size 15/0 light amethyst beads. I also purchased additional glass pearls and both purple & opal seed beads.

Thanks again!

Karin

I enjoyed working with these luscious colours. I used my own cream beads for the base of the necklace, twisting spiral rope along one side envisioning the mist rising from the mossy earth. Beads draped randomly from the central part of the necklace with leaves and flowers enhancing the offset beaded flower. Coordinating earrings completed the soft look of Moss and Mist.

This is my version of Welcome to Jamaica.

In the freeform peyote bracelet, I envisioned the colours of the waters, the waves crashing onto the sandy beach. You will see the step stones leading across to the waters edge. One of the deep blue beads became the button for the clasp, the embellished loop sparkles with blue crystals.

I Love the colours in this kit. I started out with visions of a necklace, but ended up doing something compleatly different. I've never attempted a peyote stitch before, and as you can see, I've got a lot of practice ahead of me! Next time I'll use bigger beads. Thanks for the fun.

In addition to the beads provided in the challenge kit I used some additional glass trumpet flower beads and crystal donuts. A rose gold dragonfly clasp was added as well. The flowers are stung on beading wire and brought together to form a floral pendant with the hummingbird charm flying amongst the flowers.

Hi, this is my submission for your inspirational bead fx colour xchallenge kit welcome to jamaica.

I used most of the beads you sent me in my kit plus I also used Findings - Separator/Connector - 3 Hole Long Rectangle with Dimple Separator - Bright Silvertone and I glued blue rhinestones to them.

I used 2mm blue seedbeads from my own beads to contrast with the 2mm brown seedbeads that were provided. I used the bigger beads to make a distinctive looking pattern in the middle of my choker that reminded me of how one would picture the waves and water in jamaica, aqua a tinge of white blue and smokey and also the light blue of the ocean. the ends reminded me of water and sand so I made one row of aqua seedbeads and used the 4mm royal blue in 3s. in the middle strand i used the brown to represent the sand with the similar pattern of 3 royal blue smaller beads and then the third row is the same as the first.

This is my vision of the garden at the Tuscan Villa. I created the bracelet in freeform peyote with brick stitch to enhance the flowers using many of the various seed beads, crystals, glass beads and metal leaves. I used the large golden leaf for the button clasp attached with seed beads to match the loop. I strung the stick pearls with other beads to fashion a matching necklace, finished off with a dulled copper chain and antiqued clasp. Loops of chain and stringed seed beads with a crystal completed the earrings.

The main necklace is done in spiral rope using the delica beads, size 11 pink seed beads and the bronze and copper-lined size 8 seed beads. The 'pendant' are a random mixture of the other beads strung onto ring-size memory wire. One of the Preciosa crystals are used to finish off the extender chain. In all, I've used at least one of each bead supplied in the kit.

Martinis at Midnight was an exciting Creative Challenge.  Spiral Rope is the base of the necklace with violet triangles of midnight and greys of the clouds past the moon.  The smokey black pendant hung with purple chained crystals drops from the large silver pearls, violet dusted chips and dark amethyst glass and silver beads.  Silver loops join the two mediums and a hammered silver clasp closes the necklace.  The earrings, small matching pendants adorned with purple crystal, and a silver pearl ring complete the set.

My new found beading passion is freeform peyote. This wonderful mix of Burnished Gold adapted perfectly to the necklace and the large flat bead was the inspiration for a beaded clasp over the shoulder and not the usual centre back! I just had to make earrings featuring the lime crystals, my favourite colour, and the garnet crystals, for my birthstone!

This necklace was a big experiment for me. It's my first necklace on cord with a deliberate stringy embellishment. I focused on asymmetry and flexibility. This is two necklaces in one. The strings can be untied for a simpler necklace (just the wood beads and the fire agate) and the length of the necklace can be adjusted with the extender (with the chocolate brown leaves) at the back of the neck.

I am intrigued by the results of this experimental lariat-style wire and bead work bracelet. A single strand of RAW is adorable for a little girl's bracelet but somehow I couldn't picture wearing it myself. Here with the doubled up strand of it made with a variety of colours and a creative clasp, it's much more likely!

Here is "October Wine". On an Ultrasuede base, this bracelet is an exploration of motif, texture and fringe, little of which I had done before. I especially enjoyed creating the "scales", and found that the fringe didn't turn out to be as soft and flexible as I thought it should be, even when using Nymo thread.

This kit offered lots of challenges which I understand is the point. My first problem was the focal turquoise bead. Gosh darn it is a LARGE piece of stone! Anything I was coming up with just would not accomadate a stone of that size! So it got set aside for a project that will call out its name...
Then the bead weaving I started just wouldn't cooperate... Attempt #1 just would speak to me, it just just a little to plain. Attempt #2 was just too... wrong, too box-ish, too regular, just wrong. Oh well...
The final result I am very pleased with 3 crocheted strands woven with 3 strand of seed bead. Kind of simple if you think about it, but it just looks/feels right! Hope it pleases you as well!

Darjeeling Paisley

I was inspired by the name, and looked at the motifs used on saris and in Indian paintings.

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.

The necklace is crocheted using dark blue 26 gauge wire available from the store.
