no color palette,
no picture prompts, 
no foolin'!

'open up my head and let me out.'
~ so much to say, dave matthews band

you know how you can be overcome by a song or even some of its lyrics? well, if

'music is what feelings sound like.'

then we want you to show us what they look like too... this month we decided to let you show us how music speaks to you - completely your way... it doesn't have to be literal, the way mine is... just let the music move you - and see what you come up with... 

here's how to enter::

most important - our mission is to promote handmade... using handmade components and beads in your handmade work... take chances, have fun! this isn't a test, it's an exercise to help you stretch... 


please share with us the song title and performer and the specific lyrics if applicable - we would love to be able to bring the auditory experience to the piece... 

post the work to our flickr page... look for the link in the sidebar...  if you don't have a flickr account, it is very easy to sign up using your email address...  please upload pictures of pieces that were created specifically for this challenge...

and, yes, to sweeten the deal we have a random drawing at the end of the month... we choose from those who entered to win these prizes::

this really fabulous book - even if you don't create lampwork beads, it will give you an understanding of what is involved in the process and provide some beautiful eye candy... 


and then some beautiful lampwork beads from elisabeth strong of lizardbreathbeads to work with!


cannot wait to see what you are listening to...
