One Crayon Challenge - The Reveal!

Sally Russick, the fabulous lady from the Studio Sublime is hosting the One Crayon Challenge - the idea is that each participant chooses a color from the original Crayola box and creates a piece with ONLY the shades and hues of that color.

I chose red, mainly because I'd just gotten this fabulous red lampwork disc and wanted to do something to feature it.

And as if working within one color wasn't challenge enough, I decided only to use things in my stash.  That's right, friends, no shopping after choosing the color.  (Insert horrified scream of disbelief here)

I wanted to echo the swirl of the focal disc in the rest of the piece.  So here, in honor of both the challenge, and because the Kentucky Derby is happening about three miles from my house today, here is The Run For The Roses:



Thanks for looking!  Go check out the others who've been playing with crayons:

Catching Up and Catching My Breath

Y'all, it's been crazy here.

Aside from the normal wacky, there have been big heaping doses of super-wacky on almost every front.  Add all of that to the doctor determining that I have mono.  Again.  Actually, for the sixth time -- did you know that could happen?  Yep.

So now I know why I haven't been my normal, sparkly self, firing on all cylinders of activity for about six weeks.  But I have been getting some work done on my One Crayon Color Challenge piece, and  here's a sneak peek of my RED creation.


Tomorrow morning there will be 30,000 people running past my house as part of the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon.  Needless to say, I will be staying inside, using this as a perfect excuse to catch up on both my sleep and my beading!

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
