We have teamed up with color expert Margie Deeb for a special color challenge contest!  We have three judges who will select a winner based on creativity, aesthetics, use of color, and wearability.  Our judges include Marcia DeCoster, Jane Dickerson and Lorelei Eurto.

Below you’ll see a palette from Margie Deeb’s Spring/Summer 2010 Color Report for Bead & Jewelry Artists.

For the challenge, use the following colors in anything you want, in any proportions you want. An art bead, a bead or component made by an artist or yourself, needs to be included in your design.

Read the guidelines and submission information here.

DEADLINE: April 1st, 2010.

PRIZE: Winner will receive a year’s worth (2) of Margie Deeb’s Color Report for Bead & Jewelry Artists and a $50 gift certificate from Humblebeads.com.
