Welcome to the

Dry Gulch Color Design Challenge!

Every month Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry will be hosting a challenge for creative artisans everywhere.  Be inspired and unleash your creative talents!  What will you create?

Use our colors to inspire your creativity!  Post your project using the color palette above.  Your design will be eligible to win either a $50 gift certificate or a $25 gift certificate to Dry Gulch Beads.
 
Anything can be created for this challenge, including;  finished jewelry pieces, headbands, wearable pendants/pins, handmade cards, lampwork beads, seed-bead art, sewing design, metal-smithing/art, paper crafting, clothing/fiber art, leather work, painting, even your favorite culinary delights (like cupcakes), etc.  Your project must be created newly and specifically for our current monthly challenge.  The sky is the limit!  Show us how creative you are with our color palette.
 
For this challenge, Dry Gulch is offering a $50 gift certificate to the Winner and a $25 gift certificate prize to the Runner-up.  The judges will be looking for adherence to the color palette, creativity of the project’s design and effort.  You may purchase and use Dry Gulch components in your project, but that is not a requirement to win.
 
Your judges will be the 3 generations of women who create at Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry.  The judges may create and post their own visions of the monthly color palette also, but for inspiration and presentation only.We’ll publish each created work on Facebook and here on this challenge page.  Add your photo in the comments on our Color Design Challenge Facebook Event or email us your photo to custserv@drygulch.com.  When uploading, you may add a description of your work.  If also Facebooking and/or blogging your Dry Gulch Color Design project, please add a link to the Challenge on your page.

Lampwork Hearts!

Check out these fantastic little hearts!  These were created by Mama, aka Jennifer LaVite.  We've had a beautiful stretch of warm weather this last week, so that meant the studio was nice and toasty, and ready for creativity time!  These lampwork hearts are made with soft Italian glass, and feature dots and frit.  Some also have metallic glass in them.  Find these hearts for sale on our Etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/DryGulch !!

Hearts, Hearts, And More Hearts

I have always had a weakness for hearts!!!  You could say I love, love, love hearts, and Valentine's Day is simply filled with them. In celebration of this ‘love’  holiday, we will display a collection of heart jewelry and heart ideas every day up until Valentine's Day.
 
"There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate."
