Color Challenge Winner!

First, thanks to everyone who entered the Turquoise Color Challenge sponsored by Margie Deeb and Humblebeads.  Your creations were amazing and it was fun to see how different everyone interprets the same color palette.

Our grand prize winner is:

Lyn Foley!

Margie commented on Lyn's use of color, "The artist has made this Spring palette dance. Rather than choosing a dominant color, she splashes the entire bracelet with all the palette members. Her choreography alternates between staccato-like dots and undulating squiggles, creating a festive, playful rhythm."

Lyn has won 2 years worth of Color Reports from Margie Deeb and a $50 gift certificate to Humblebeads.com.

You can see Lyn's work on her website, http://www.lynfoley.com/.

We have two other finalists:


And they have won - bragging rights!  Congrats to our winners and special thanks to our judges:


I created a Flickr group with all the entries, you can view them here.

all of the pieces were wonderful! i just found your blog and am so glad that i did.
can you direct me to a shop that sells the high quality lampwork beads such as the first piece was made. I can only find lampwork beads that look cheap.

I appreciate it and I LOVE your blog and will be receiving your newsletter:)

Congratulations to Lyn and the other winners. I tried for hours to come up with a design for this and was stumped. You all did beautifully!
