Beading Back in Time: History, the final chapter!

I can't believe it's already time for the final installment in our Beading Back in time Blog Hop Challenge.  I think it was about this time last year when the brilliant Sherri, of Knot Just Macrame, and I were brainstorming ideas.  We had both wanted to host some sort of challenge for quite some time - but each of us was a bit intimidated to bite it off by ourselves.  Having a partner to lean on when life attacks has been helpful for both of us.

So now we are into our final chapter of the Beading Back in Time challenge - History.  If you would like to play along, all you need do is choose a historical time period and create!  Should you create something using materials and techniques of the day?  Something that a person in that period would have worn?  Something made with modern methods and materials, but looks like it belongs in that period?  Or perhaps let inspiration guide you in a more abstract way, and create something that is inspired by a concept or event or accessory that is unique to that period.  Do research, have fun!  If at all possible, get out to a local museum and see the history in person!  Get to your local library and check out the fashion history and art history sections!

Soon, I will share a few of my favorite periods for adornment with you.  Until then, have fun with your research, discover lots of ideas, and create!
