Challenge Details:
Dates:
Starting today until January 20th, you can sign up if you want to join me in this challenge.
The Reveal and Blog Hop will be on February 2nd, 2013.
You have almost one month to get ready. I will post all the
participants and the links provided to me so that you can hop around
from blog to blog and see everyone’s creation on the 2nd of February.
Challenge Step One:
Choose an inspirational word or phrase in an area of your life where
you want to make positive change. Make sure your words truly represent
something you want to work on. Don’t choose a word because it looks
good, is popular right now or someone else thinks you should choose it.
These are the six categories of wellness that people generally want to make changes in:
Physical, Emotional, Occupational, Spiritual, Intellectual and Social. Your words can represent any of these areas.
I have been compiling a categorized list of words and phrases in
these different areas. It’s not at all comprehensive, but I will email
it to everyone who participates. You can make up your own words or
please feel free to use something from the list if it resonates with
you.
Challenge Step Two:
You can make earrings, a necklace or a bracelet. Incorporate your
words into your design. It does not have to be complicated. Perhaps
simple is better. That way you may want to wear your jewelry more often
so you can be reminded of your words and focus on the healthy change
part of this challenge. If you want to go all out on your design, then
by all means, please do!
You don’t have to make the word component of your design. You can
buy a word bead, pendant or letter charms from an artist on Etsy.
Making your words will of course give you more freedom to choose a word
that’s specific to you. You can use resin to make a pendant, stamp
letters in clay, metal or leather. Form a word from wire. Maybe you
know how to etch metal. There are endless options. Your word can be
central to the design or a more subtle part of the design. Totally up
to you!
On the morning of February 2nd, you will need to post pictures of
your creation on your website. You can write a little about the
motivation for choosing your words and how you are doing with your
change if you would like to. I don’t want to pressure you to expose
something you don’t want to share. This is meant to be fun, supportive
and motivational. The picture of the jewelry can speak for itself in
you want it to!
