Avid Treasurers Team Treasury Challenge #3 - Day 3

While it's getting trickier to come up with a treasury each day that includes the same list of team members, it's also a good exercise for the "little grey cells" as my hero Hercule Poirot would say.  For me, the pressure makes my brain work in ways it normally wouldn't, the tighter parameters force me to be a bit more inventive, and it definitely helps me to see the potential and the diversity of each item I pick.

I've loved seeing the same items being included in fellow team members' treasuries, all with a completely different theme, tied together with 15 other items to create an awesome look.

Thanks goodness we're all so different in our tastes, it makes for a lot of variety.

Here is my contribution for Wednesday - Day 3.

Avid Treasurers Team Treasury Challenge #3 - Day 1 of 4

Well I have the fun priviledge of being included in the Avid Treasurers Team Treasury Challenge #3 which takes place over four days.  Today was the first day of the challenge and basically consists of making one treasury per day; include eight items from members of your team who are on the list of participants in the challenge, plus eight team members or non-team members to fill the remainder of the spots.

It's a little harder than I thought it was going to be, especially as there will be an overall winner picked, and so that adds a sense of pressure to create a masterpeice.

Anyway, the upside of all of this is that not only am I browsing through team members shops and finding really awesome handmade finds, but I am also being included in their treasuries and getting more exposure.  That in essence is the purpose of our team and the challenge; "share the love".  I'm feeling warm and fuzzy already and actually having a pretty good time of it all.

Here is my first entry for today, please stay tuned to see what I come up with for the next three days.  I'll be posting the treasury that is picked as the overall winner and judging by the calibre of treasuries that have already been submitted, I know it's gonna knock your socks off.

Global Traveller

Here are some newly created earrings that are part of my new line "Global Traveller".  They have a modern, minimalist vibe and feature brass and copper wire.  Something a little different for me certainly, but I like to mix things up so I don't get too comfortable a.k.a. boring. I hope to come up with some more designs and incorporate it into bracelets, necklaces and rings.  You can find more of my wire wrapped designs here:http://www.deannewatsonjewelry.etsy.com/
