2015 Bead Challenge:  So Soft

The theme for the 2015 bead challenge was So Soft.  Participants were to bead something that represents soft, add beads to something that is soft, add something soft to their beads, bead the word “soft” (or a synonym), think soft and add beads to it.   

The rules were simple:  The majority of materials used must be beads.  Participants could use any technique and the item did not have to be jewelry or even wearable.   All ages welcome.
