I have posted several of his works on this blog and many of you have found his work to be as inspirational as I have. I have corresponded with Richard and he has agreed to allow us to use some of his beautiful photographs of his ephemeral works for this challenge. If this challenge is successful and well received by you, dear reader, I will host another challenge at a later date.
Now, for this challenge. The images:
Here are the individual photographs:
Ice and Snow Sandwich Towers
Constriction Balance
Middlewood Trust Project
Icicle Sunset
Mayday Colour Totem
Here are the details of the challenge! {With Thanks to Kelly Morgan of the Silver Parrot for the text I modified for this post! No reason to re-invent the wheel!}
Select one of these photos and create a bracelet whose color scheme is inspired by the photo. Post it on your blog with a bit of explanation as to why you chose that particular photo and how you incorporated the color scheme into your bracelet. Come back here to the comments and leave a link to your blog post.
Please post a link to Richard’s site in your blog, so that he benefits from this challenge as well (http://jrlandart.blogspot.com )
Prize: Some Beady Goodness (one pound of assorted beads and things) and a surprise! More about that in a later post.
Rules:
1. You can create and post as much as you like, but you will only get one contest entry.
2. For anyone who publicizes the challenge (and links back here) on their blog, Facebook or Twitter, I will put in a second entry – MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE ME A COMMENT SO I KNOW YOU DID THIS.
3. I have to limit this contest to people with shipping addresses in the U.S. unless you’re willing to pay the shipping on your prize. If you are outside the U.S. but are willing to pay shipping, make sure to note that in your comment so I know about it.
4. Deadline to post your entries and comments is midnight May 31st.
5. Winner will be randomly drawn from all the entries on June 1st.
That should cover everything, but feel free to contact me with questions.

HI Emanda! I hope I got the right post to post on. I made it just in time! Check out my blog, as busy as I was this month and especially this weekend I couldn't resist trying to make something for this challenge. I hope you like it, they sure are inspirational pieces, I wish I had time to make something for all of them!
