2018 SVH Challenge--Wearable

The 2018 SVH Challenge was to make a wearable using a technique that was new to the weaver. This year's submissions were impressive. Here are the pictures of the entries for the Challenge with the weaver modeling his/her own wearable.

Big hand to all the weavers for these beautiful pieces of art. Stay tuned for more information at a later date on a date and place to view the Challenge entries.
