The Color of Red Freeform Peyote Challenge

Thought I'd take a break from working on my upcoming Kickstarter campaign to share something fun happening over on the Freeform Peyote Facebook group.

Based off of the survey Mandi conducted last year, we've decided to host regular freeform challenges. 

This month, the challenge is:






  


The Color Red
Reveal: February 15th

Red. It's the color from Christmas, to Chinese New Year, through to Valentine's Day. The color carries so many meanings - love, passion, heat, danger, adventure. In old Russian, they used the same word for 'red' and 'beautiful' (guess how Red Square got it's name).  Mandi noted that red is also a color of wealth in feng shui, with people painting their front doors red to welcome wealth in.

What does red mean to you?

A little inspiration

This month, we challenge you to use red in one of your pieces. Anything from a wash of red to a single drop - the choice is yours. Then tell us about any special meanings the color has for you in your piece.

Your piece must include freeform peyote, but may include other beading stitches or mixed media techniques as well and is not limited to jewelry.

On February 15th, I will set up a special 'The Color Red Challenge' album to make it easier for everyone to find all of the pieces from this challenge.  Members of the group participating in the challenge can load your images to this album, making it easier for everyone to see the entire challenge as a whole. No signups required.




Mini Blog Hop February 15th

Because blogging is what I do, I'm also planning to host a mini Blog Hop for anyone participating in this challenge.  A blog post allows so much more room to talk about your piece and show extra pictures.

* If you have a blog: I will need your name and the name of your blog by Thursday, February 13th.

* If you don't have a blog and would like your work to appear in a guest post here on Baublicious, I will need your photos and a short writeup by Sunday, February 9th.
