We have great news! 

Saxony signed a new lease for our brand new location! Yay! And we can finally tell everyone now that it's a done deal. 

 

Our new bead home will be ... drum roll please ... off TV Highway (going east) in the Lil Cooperstown buildings ... which is located at TV Hwy and 73rd Ave ... which is located between the Fred Meyer and Cornelius Pass Road.

 

We are beyond excited as our new year brings this beautiful new space (with parking!) and we will be filling it up with more and more beads and findings galore! I mean ... really!

SURPRISE BEAD CHALLENGE RESULTS 

 
The rules of engagement are simple. Purchase a discounted bag of beads/components sight unseen (surprise!) and accept the challenge to:
   1.
Use everything in the bag,
   2.
Add whatever you want,
   3.
Make whatever you want.

Not knowing what's in the bag beforehand eliminates our prejudging of the beads/colors/etc. and enables us to fully accept the challenge of creating something outside of our "norm." It stretches our creative muscles.

We have been asked, "Is there a prize?" and the answer is yes and no. First of all, none of us here at Planet Bead wants to judge the creative process! How is that even possible? The idea is to watch the creative process at work and in the end appreciate our differences and what comes from a group of people beginning with the exact same base. And THAT is our very valuable prize!

So, here are the wonderful and diverse results of the Surprise Bead Challenge! Thanks to all who have participated!
 YOU ROCK!!!

View past challenges here.

  

 If anyone has finished EntICEmint we would LOVE to place it here!

"EntICEmint!"

 

 

If you are having trouble getting the finished project back to us for photography, please feel free to email your quality photo to planetbead@gmail.com
