| | | New Design Challenge Themes | | It's a new year, and it's time for new themes for the monthly Facet Design Challenge! For the first few months of 2018, we'll be focusing on color. This January, we want to see how the many different shades of white inspire your jewelry making. Be sure to bring in the adjacent colors: silver, clear, and all the shades of gray. Crystals, quartz or fire‑polished glass? Diamonds, zirconias or howlite? White jade, pearls or opals? Silver, nickel, pewter or porcelain? The blank (white) canvas is yours to interpret! |
