The Deadline Approacheth

The September theme for the EBWC is Complementary Contradictions, brought to us by Smadar's Treasure. I've no clue what I'm going to do with that!

When the new theme is announced it's a sure sign that the deadline for the current theme is expiring. But my excitement isn't for the Art Deco EBWC. I broke three, read it, 3, needles yesterday and now am left with this one sadly bent and sorry excuse for a needle as I try to rush through the last third of my project (humph!)

No what I'm talking about is the Tatting Is Not A Lost Art Challenge that TotusMel is running. Today is the deadline and the judging will commence soon.

I was disappointed that she blogged a totally different subject today. Oh well.

The Rose Distilled piece was my entry. I folded the medallion up and embellished it, beaded a Ndebele rope-- my first-- and embellished it too. Different for me, but nice. I look forward to seeing if it places. Even if not, when TotusMel runs her next challenge I'll probably participate. I love her work but I find it so much easier to spend money on supplies than on finished jewelry.

Here are most of the other entries. There's some really unique jewelry!

I'll post about the winning entries when it's all over!
