Current Color ChallengeThank you everyone for submitting entries to our very first Color Challenge! We had many great entries this month of August, and now we have picked a winner. The prize for August was a $25 gift certificate redeemable at our website www.drygulch.com .The judges for this challenge were the 3 generations of women that own Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry, and they judged the entries on these three criteria:
• ADHERENCE to the color palette
• CREATIVITY of the project’s design
• EFFORT
Now, without further ado, the WINNER of the August 2014 Dry Gulch Color Challenge is:
Samantha Lazzaro!

{ petalled hues }
Use our colors to inspire your creativity! Post your project using the color palette above. Your design will be eligible to win a $25 gift certificate to Dry Gulch Beads.
Anything can be created for this challenge, including; finished jewelry pieces, headbands, wearable pendants and pins, handmade cards, lampwork beads, cuffs, etc. All creative techniques may also be used to create your projects, like seed-beading, sewing, metal-smithing, paper crafting, leather work, painting, etc. The sky is the limit! Show us how creative you are with our color palette.
For this challenge, Dry Gulch is offering a $25 gift certificate prize to the winner. The judges will be looking for adherence to the color palette, creativity of the project’s design and effort. You may purchase and use Dry Gulch components in your project, but that is not a requirement to win.
Your judges will be the 3 generations of women who create at Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry. The judges may create and post their own visions of the monthly color palette also, but for inspiration and presentation only.
We’ll publish each created work on Facebook and here on this challenge page. Add your photo in the comments on our Color Design Challenge Facebook post or email us your photo to custserv@drygulch.com. When uploading, you may add a description of your work. If also Facebooking and/or blogging your Dry Gulch Color Design project, please add a link to the Challenge on your page.
Entries for the Dry Gulch Color Design Challenge may be turned in from now until midnight CST, Sunday, August 31, 2014.
