One picture and combo only per member, please


The winner of this challenge will receive a yummy present sponsored by Tiffany - picture will follow shortly

I'm sooooo excited!!

Now it's all about decisions!! I am going to think about this all week and take photos next weekend...(very grey today )

Thank you Merlesen for organizing these challenges....they do force me out of my box!

Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful amber combos.

Ambers are my favourite beads at the moment.

Thank you, Merlesen for organzing the fun

Fantastic! Love the challenges. It's great to think of new and different ways to combine beads!!!!

Just to clarify - only ambers and PJ's, no other stones (jades/LE gems?)

Yes trolledolly, only ambers, PJ's, pearls, silvers and silver/gold beads.
No glass, gold or stone but the PJs.

There's got to be some kind of challenge to this

I like this challenge and I'm gonna try :-)

Don't have a lot of beads to choose from though, barely a bracelet full.
But that's enough to participate, isn't it?

That's enough, Tinka

One more question for clarification - ambers and PJ's are the only stones that can be included, but since it is an Amber challenge does that imply that ambers must be included?

Ambers must be included.

Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the first post, I will edit that right away.

I think that I might try

WooHoo. I have a good idea, if I can get it to work. Thanks for the challenge. Merlesen for organizing and Tiffany for sponsoring!!

Oh cool!!!!

I love seeing ambers!!!!

Sounds like a fun challenge, thanks for hosting it and to Tiffany for offering a prize. I have a combo sorted, just need a bit of sunshine sometime in the next two weeks to take pics.

Come on weather gods...

As I only have TWO amber beads, the word "CHALLENGE" definitely applies!! .......but, I think I'll give it a go, since I went a little crazy w/the PJs!!

The more the merrier, I'd love to see your bracelet!

Great, I might give it a try since i do have a few of all the beads we can use!!

unfortunately I do only have one amber prism. But I can't wait to see your designs

Sounds like fun. How can you go wrong with ambers?

This competition had slipped my mind, is it too late to send a picture?? I made my bracelet, but it's too dark for any decent pictures now !!

I think it is open until March 30th, so put on your smiley face

Don't forget to send me a picture of your bracelet/necklace with ambers!!!

Rules are simple - see the first post in this thread

OK, a member just sent me a picture with the most beautiful bracelet filled with ambers and gold beads, and I'm so sorry that I had to reject it.

Listen, make sure you read the guidelines on what beads are allowed, the restrictions are made to make it a challenge, this is not supposed to be easy and we thought it would be best this way.

I really hate having to reject a beautiful bracelet that someone took lots of time to make so please remember this:

Gold/silver beads are allowed (beads made with both metals, just to be specific), but not pure gold.

PJ's, ambers, silvers, pearls and silver/gold beads, and that's it, please.

Hello all

Here is a picture of the Winner-present
On top of the bead and sweets - I will also send a small flower and a giftbox.
