2008 Cannon Beach Retreat

Beading Project

“A Primary Challenge”

Packet contains 100 grams size 11 seed beads.

20 grams each in five opaque, matte colors:

yellow/blue/red/black/off-white

Participants must use a minimum of four colors from the packet.

Participants may add 50% “other” beads in addition to those used from the packet.

Animal, vegetable or mineral fiber, as well as silver and gold

beads, wire, and findings are also acceptable.

Additional beads are to be identical in color to seeds.

Since it will be difficult to match finishes, additional beads larger than size 11 seeds

may be any material and surface finish as long as the color is the same as beads provided.

The challenge, here, is two fold: (a) to match materials color for color and (b) to make four or five stark colors behave in the same piece without benefit of “transitional” hues like yellow-orange, or greenish blue.

Note: the red in this packet is a red-orange, not a true fully-saturated primary red.

We scoured the countryside looking for a bluish red in opaque matte. Alas,

Fata Obstant. The gods willed otherwise………

Rise to the Challenge!
