My Country , Of Thee I Bead!

In honour of Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day-USA (July 4th) I am hosting a challenge to make a piece of jewelry that reflects your national pride whatever your country. It should be based on something that is distinctive to your home nation eg. flag, emblem, anthem or anything  else that you feel is representative of your country. The reveal will be June 29th. Please sign up by May 31st.
If you need help jumpstarting the muse I've pulled a few samples off Etsy to help inspire you.
