ETSYMETAL Jewelry Challenge: Project Runway Season 13.6 REVEAL "Rock the Wedding"

Welcome to the reveal of last weeks' Episode 6

"Rock the Wedding!"
 



The Project Runway challenge:

Inspired by the new trend in untraditional wedding dresses worn by rock stars on their big day, the designers must wow the judges with their own version of an unconventional wedding dress.

 *My Lifetime video here* 

The EtsyMetal Translation:

Last week we asked our EtsyMetal team members to use the same parameters of Project Runway’s challenge and also use inspiration from rock-n-roll weddings to create an unconventional wedding piece for a non-traditional wedding!

And here are our 2 team members and 1 guest submission reveal!

Leidi Jorge

Was I the only one to evoke the song November Rain (one of my fav btw) or just I did take this challenge very literally !?
Well the thing is I ran out of time and couldn´t develope the whole idea about this groom boutonniere, this time used fabricated materials and feathers inspired by the song and my favorite dress on the runway.

NEXT WEEK!

Episode 7: 
"Priceless Runway"

Project Runway Season 13, Episode 7 ~ Air Date: 9/04/14.



The designers get a taste of luxury when they have to choose a piece of Chopard jewelry to base their looks around. Tim surprises the contestants with a trip to the Charles James exhibit at the Met for more inspiration.



Our EtsyMetal Translation:

Please pick a favorite Charles James gown and fashion a complementary piece of jewelry to go with! Now get to work!

***ETA 9/7/14: Or one of Charles James gowns or Chopard Jewelry used in the episode to just be inspired by.***

Charm Swap 14 Update.....

Hi All! Michele here with this week's charm swap update! This week we have a few updates for you. The first one is from Sue of LSueSzabo. Sue sent in this photo and says "These are tiny UFOs, each a little hollow form made of sterling silver. Hand fabricated." That's a LOT of work, Sue, but they look great! 

Victoria from Experimetal also has an update for us. She sent in this photo and says "Progress is slow and steady, but I will be done on time! How cute are Victoria's charms!?! I can't wait to see them finished! 

And last but not least we have a second member who has finished their charms! Jen from Prox sent us a photo of her finished charms and says "I finished all 22 of my charms!  I just need to take all the official photos and send em out!" The look great Jen! 

That's all for this week! Until next time! ~ Michele

What's New!

The Labor Day holiday in the US is the traditional end of summer...

kids are back in school, and family vacation time 

is just a pleasant memory.

Yet etsymetal members did manage to turn out some new work this past week despite being distracted by thoughts of the upcoming 3 day weekend!

Guest Submission

Leidi Jorge

I love fringes that´s why I knew right away what was I going to do, no matter what I wanted to use tassels, I made my own ones with bright tones of blue threads and seed beads. It is a copper ring that can be use as a pendant, so far one of my favorite.
