EST WEEKLY CHALLENGE
The European Street Team on www.etsy.com conducts a weekly challenge, where the last week’s winner chooses a theme and EST members create a piece for it. This is a wonderful way of helping us to think outside the box and giving us a fresh view of our craft.
Aldona hosted the last challenge with the wonderful theme ‘Dreams‘ and chose my Moonstone and Labradorite necklace as the winner!!!
Please visit Aldona’s blog to admire the other entries. The complete history of the EST Weekly Challenge, with all themes and entries, can be found on Star-of-the-East’s blog. Thanks, Aldona, for choosing my necklace!
So, this week it is my turn to pick a theme. Since we all are (or have to be) sometimes way too serious and grown-up, the new theme will be
BRING YOUR INNER CHILD OUT TO PLAY !!!
I hope you have fun with it – I cannot wait to see your phantastic entries!!!
