I got this in the mail today

The talented Faith Davis-Ferris from My Muse Mutters hosted a giveaway in her website, which I won.  I won these wonderful handmade glass beads (she is a great glass artist).

The seed beads and Stars were a generosity bonus!  Aren't they cute?

I have a design in mind that I hoe does them justice.  It will be a while before I can sit in my table again and produce jewelry but I have drawn a sketch of what I have in mind for them.

Thank you Faye!

My Very First Giveaway!

I have been thinking about hosting my own giveaway for some time.  I think the most difficult thing was deciding what to give away.  I wanted something that would make people interested in participating, and of course beads are the answer to that.  But I also wanted something made by me, since I think original handmade beads would be something I would really be interested in winning.

So this is what I am giving away:

A set of Polymer Clay Handmade Beads by Yeli.  The set contains:

1 Heart Focal Bead: Aprox. 25x20mm (Measuring the widest and longest part of the heart). Top drilled.
2 Rondelles: Aprox. 20x10 mm
2 Rounds: Aprox. 14mm
2 6mm rounds

How to participate

To be eligible for the drawing of this gorgeous set of beads you simply have to leave a comment on this post and tell me what you would create with them.  One lucky winner will be randomly selected from all the participating entries on Sunday October 31st at midnight EST.  The winner will be posted in my blog on Monday Nov 1st.  No anonymous participations please, so be sure to leave your name if you have signed up to comment anonymously.  International participants are welcome!

Want additional entries?

It is as simple as blogging about this giveaway with a link to my giveaway post.  Be sure to leave a separate comment with the link to your post to be able to have that extra chance of winning these beads.
You can also have extra shots at these beads by updating your Facebook page, Twittering about my giveaway or being the first to post about it on any beading forum; just make sure you are within the boundaries and rules of the forum.  Please, remember to leave a separate comment for each and every one of your acts of social media kindness with links to the forum posts.

Giveaway Prize in My Mailbox

This is the lovely polymer clay face cab that I won at Kokopelli Design's giveaway.

She is encouraging and giving me support to venture in my first beaded cab.  I'll let you know how it will turn out! 

There are two techniques that I see myself learning with this cab.  Just have to choose one.  Bead weaving and wire weaving.  I have seen beautiful things with both techniques…. Hmmm… tough decision.
