Your challenge is to select a period from the timeline below (or I can choose one at random for you!), research it, and create something to reflect that period. I'm hoping you'll not only be inspired by the style of the period, but also the materials that would have been used.
Ready?
How it works:
Choose one or more time periods. If you'd rather it be a surprise, I can choose a period for you. Remember, you only have to choose one!
Post a comment here or email me with your chosen time period. I'll put all the info together for an easy to use blog hop list, so we know where we're going!
Create at least one piece of jewelry for your period. You can make as many as you like, but one finished piece for each time period you choose is all that's required.
Reveal on Saturday, October 13th.
Hop the blogs - I know there are going to be some amazing creations, so enjoy the hop!
Info I need from you: your chosen time period and your blog address, if you're not commenting with a Blogger account. Otherwise it's hard to find you!
There are 14 time periods to choose from. Click on the names for a great site with descriptions, history, and photos for each time period.
Found one you liked? Email (click on my profile to contact me) or comment here with your choice(s) and that you'd like to participate. All you have to do from there is create and wait for the reveal day! I hope there's enough info in the links above, but if you need help finding any other resources, just ask!
Let's get creating!

I am in. Since ART NOUVEAU started in my city, I chose ART NOUVEAU: solmessou2@orange.fr
ReplyDeleteOk I decided to go with victorian. watermusicgirl@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI had to correct myself because it was one of the school of ART NOUVEAU which started in my city. Here some info:
ReplyDeleteIn Nancy, the Art Nouveau style takes the name of the Ecole de Nancy, also known as the "Alliance Provinciale des Industries d’Art", thanks notably to the emblematic figure of Emile Gallé. Glass, furniture, stained glass, ceramic, leather, iron, architecture and other artistic mediums take part in this vast movement to renovate the decorative arts that still mark the city of Nancy to this day.
Thanks for sharing that! Wonderful bit of history there.
DeleteI'd love to join. Art Nouveau please. E-mail is wollberg.sandra(at)googlemail.com
ReplyDeleteI will jump in on this one. Since it doesn't look like the Mesopotamian era has been chosen, I will try that.

I would love to join too - I need to stay busy... I have a hard time making choices. I would love to do any of these three; Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Victorian. I would be pleased to do any though - so I will eagerly await to hear the news if I am in and which time period. Thanks so much for such a wonderful opportunity to grow in knowledge and in technique and skill.
ReplyDeletei would love to participate if you are still accepting people. i'd like to work on the victorian period
ReplyDeletei forgot to include by blog address (sorry!) it is: http://simplybeadiful.weebly.com/simply-stated.html
ReplyDeletethanks! i think this looks really fun :)
You can sign me up for what ever period isn't covered, or is least covered.
ReplyDeleteHope I'm not too late to join in the fun! I actually just created something Roman-inspired, and another piece inspired by Hellenistic Greece (with a heavy Egyptian influence) so I'm heading to the other end of the spectrum this time and going with Art Deco! It will be a whole new experience for me!
ReplyDeleteHope that works! Thanks for hosting this fun event!
