Mystery Box Challenge
My Journey
The Challenge
Objective: Take contents of your mystery box and within 2 weeks, make an "A&S Entry" for the Faire. Then, post a picture to this event with your entry details. Obviously, documentation is not required.. but hey... if you can do a thing that is period with documentation... rock on!
There will be various categories and prizes (more details posted as we have them) but categories could include: most historical, most creative use of all items, etc.
Have fun, be creative, craft some things!
My box contents.
Step one, was to clean the beads. Definitely found these beads to not be very well made as half the lot did not survive the bead release removal process. After reaming, brushing and washing the beads, I could take inventory.
I took my saw to the ornaments to convert them into something usable as tags. I strung on my own bead wire and used the clasp that came in the box to finish the item.
The final piece includes some wire wrapped tags using beads from the box and scrap wire from the shop. The only materials I used that did not come in the box were three pieces of wire, the bead wire, and crimp beads.
The entered piece. Tied for Best Viking.
