So, finally… here’s the full piece. I made it through the first round! I’m a little worried about who I’m up against next. The remaining pieces are incredible.

Battle of the Beadsmiths

First Round Contest Piece Update

I’ve finished it! The due date was July 10th and judges are currently deciding on the first round.

Here’s a teaser… Its the dragon tassel at the bottom. The dragon is about 4″ long and a mix of pinks, purples and oranges. And… of course, I make the dragons. If you move fast, you can find one up on my Etsy:

Battle of the Beadsmiths

 

I was invited by Steven Weiss to take part in a Beadsmith elimination tournament!  Its a little bit like a cooking tournament with eliminations each round and multiple rounds.  I’ve started my piece already, but I won’t be releasing information about it until after Bead & Button. 

Here’s the deal as written by Steven Weiss of BeadSmith:
In an effort to create more awareness of some of the incredible bead artistry being executed by bead masters worldwide, I thought it would be fun to set up a beading “tournament” where original works can be viewed, shared, and celebrated both by the participants, and the beading public alike. 
Steven is a riot – he’s made up a whole series of stylized panels for the contestants and here is mine.  I think you’ll be able to see why I fell off my chair laughing when I saw it.

1st ROUND PAIRINGS – BATTLE OF THE BEADSMITH

PRESS RELEASE SENT TO BEAD MAGAZINES THIS MORNING

( Good luck everyone, have some fun )

THE BEADSMITH ANNOUNCES 1st ROUND PAIRINGS FOR
… “BATTLE OF THE BEADSMITH”

80 Artists, 21 Countries. A Celebration of Bead Artistry around the World

A brief ceremony at Beadsmith headquarters in Cartert, NJ took place Monday, the 14th of May, officially launching the inaugural “Battle Of The Beadsmith”. Steven Weiss, of the family Weiss, addressed the competitors in attendance with some emotional words of encouragement, (transcript seen below), before officially announcing the 40 1st round pairings.

“My fellow beaders. You have been charged with the monumental task of taking your designs to places never thought possible before. Your journey will strain the very limits of your beading abilities… (Pause)……Do not entertain failure! Do not allow uncertainty, and the fear of defeat, to extinguish the fires that burn within your creative souls….. (Pause)…. Though some of you will fall in battle, history will speak well of the 80…. The 80 who beaded steadfast and true…. The 80 that beaded on, when their needles snapped, and their threads frayed… (Pause)…The 80 that beaded until they could bead no more.”

The 40 first round pairings for “The Battle Of The Beadsmith can be found by clicking on the link below.
