October 2015 Theme was: Spooky Haikooky!
Write a Hallows Eve based Haiku (5-7-5 syllable structure) and make a piece inspired by your Haiku, or simply just use a favorite authors Haiku for inspiration!
EtsyMetal Monthly Team Challenges are starting back up again, it is getting cold & blustery outside now and we will be hunkering down and working on new pieces and having lots more online fun on these coming chilly days!

I
cried out to Kest for help with my Spooky Haikooky and she eagerly jumped right
on task and gave me a hand, well actually, her little Doves wrote it for me. They wrote
me (many) this Haikooky and I then after a lot of futzing and indecision began
building my piece, still had some creative blocks to conquer but finally started
and didn’t get quite finished in the time frame I wanted so I am posting it as
a Work in Progress. It will get finished hopefully this week. I won’t explain
how it works yet, but that's a hint. ;) If you want to see it
later, keep an eye out on Kest’s post and it will show up there when it’s finished.
*next up*
The November 2015: Monthly Challenge is...
"TRASH to TREASURE; starting with the Letter T"
"Repurpose is the rage and
one jeweler’s trash is another treasure. This month think outside the box by incorporating
trash , recyclables and/or unconventional materials.
Oh, and also the theme for your piece should begin with a word starting with the letter T! Here's a list of T words for your convenience!
Consider thrift stores, yard sales, or your own personal trash can for materials to create a piece of wearable jewelry out of something normally considered Trash! Here are some quick ideas for household items, broken or tossed items like cans, consumer packaging, broken plate, old clothing, dog hair, leaves & pine needles, costume jewelry. And there's always up-cycling from a Thrift Store as well. The sky is the limit! Most importantly is to just have fun with this challenge!
See you next month and thanks for taking the time to visit!
