In 2024 we celebrated the 13th year of the Bead Challenge. We had 17 items turned in and they were fantastic. Each artist had a kit with common elements in them. Their challenge was to use at least one of each of these elements to make an object. They could add as many and as much of other materials as they chose. The result are 17 very different pieces of art. Pictures of the 2024 challenge are in the top row of pictures (including the kit), those from the 2023 challenge are in the bottom series. Enjoy!
