What can 20 people do with the same beads and findings?
|
Since 2005, the Delaware Valley Bead Society has been finding out with a members-only design competition, the DVBS Bead Challenge. Members may make either a wearable or non-wearable object. DVBS provides a kit and members supply the creativity. Final projects must contain 70% of the items in one kit, and one item may be added. The prizes are beautiful beads or bead assortments.

| The 2010 DVBS Bead Challenge Rules |
| 1. You can enter twice, but you must purchase separate kits. You cannot combined materials from 2 kits. |
| 2. Stringing material is counted as an item. You may use the .019 beading wire included in the kit or you may substitute any other stringing material, i.e. Nymo, c-lon or rubber. |
| 3. You may substitute a different clasp for the one included. |
| 4. You must use 70% of the kit materials. |
| 5. In the kit is 12 inches of 20-gauge sterling silver wire. This size sterling wire is counted as one item. You may add more 20 gauge sterling silver wire if you choose with no penalty. |
| 6. Another gauge sterling silver wire may be substituted for the 20-gauge wire in any length. Any other kind of wire (copper, brass, gold, etc.) or different gauge sterling silver wire will count as your added item. |
| 7. The entire container or seed beads counts as one item, although you don't have to use every bead in it. The larger beads in the mixed package* each count as a separate item. |
| 8. The special hardware piece MUST be used. Although it can be altered. For example, drilling additional holes or cutting it in half. |
| 9. You may add one item of your choice in any quantity you want. For example, 200 Blue Swarovski bicones. |
| Kit Contents: 36" of .019 beading wire, 12" of 20-gauge sterling silver wire, hook clasp and 2-10mm closed jump rings, 10 small spacers, 2 medium metal tube beads, mixed beads*, small tube crimps.
