Beginning on Sunday July 18, 2004 the next two
challenges, Christmas in July & The Magical Mask, will again focus on embellishments, but each
in their own unique way.
Don't forget to go to page 2 to read about the
details of both challenges!. Click

The Magical Mask Challenge is based on a
simple mask shape that I drew. You will be provided with the
pattern as part of the kit and are free to embellish the mask
however you choose. There are two color choices available:
copper/purple and teal/pastels. Here is my as yet incomplete
sample of the copper/purple version...

The design is kind of a mishmash of elements as I was
playing with several ideas all in the same sample. I had plans
to create a nicer model, but as usually happens lately, I ran out of
time. There is MUCH more that I could have done if I'd had the
time. I wanted to make this more like the masks that are held
up to the face at a costume ball, with a painted and decorated
handle and ribbons and streamers and... well, you get the
idea!
The next sample is the barest beginnings of what I
what I plan to do with the teal/pastels kit...

The "eyebrows" are a couple of my hand painted Venise
Lace appliques. I got a start on some beading and really like
the way this one is going.
Note: October 23, 2004. The challenge is
over, but you can see the masks that were entered in the challenge

In addition to the Magical Mask Challenge
there is also a Christmas in July Challenge which will begin
on July 18, 2004 and run concurrently with the Magical Mask
Challenge.
The Christmas in July Doll Challenge is based on Julie
McCullough's newest pattern called Santa Magic.
"Christmas in July" is a theme that you often see at this time of
the year and I figured it was silly to buck the tradition!
Julie has created another winning design with this pattern, and she
has also very generously provided you with an extra incentive to try
the challenge. For a limited period of time I am able to
offer an alternate set of directions for the Santa Magic pattern.
Instead of creating the doll as Santa, you can instead turn him into
a Christmas Tree with a Santa face! How cool is that?
This is Santa Magic as you make him with the basic
pattern...

And this is Santa Magic made as the Santa Christmas
Tree using the alternate instructions...

I can't decide which I like better! What's
great is that you don't have to. If you buy the Santa Magic
pattern between July 18, 2004 and August 18, 2004 you will receive
the alternate instructions to make him as the Santa Christmas Tree.
You may make either version as your entry for the challenge!
The choice is up to you.
Note: October 23, 2004. The challenge is
over, but you can see the Santa dolls that were entered in the
challenge by clicking
here.
So there ya go... You can make a Santa, a mask, or
both if you're really inspired!! On the next page you will
find all of the challenge rules and other boring, but necessary bits
of information that you'll need to know in order to participate.
