Time For Another Give Away

CUT OFF TIME TO ENTER - 10AM EST SAT AUG 1

So, I thought I would have another give away - this time it's for one of my butterfly wing pendants - this one has 5 Swarovski Crystals 4 aqua ones and a clear one - It is also one of the 1st ones I did with my own mix of pearlized glass paint. It's painted with a silvery light blue, a pretty pearlized royal blue, with white striping on cobalt blue glass. The bezel is made of copper foil with lead free solder, that has silver in it - the bail is made with sterling silver wire. It comes with a 16" black silk cord with a lobster style clasp - If you want a longer or shorter cord, let me know in your comment - I don't recommend you go longer than 18" tho - actually I like them best on a 14" length. Now, I will admit part of the reason I'm giving this one away - one of the crystals is a bit off from where I wanted it - and I couldn't pry it off to reposition it - doesn't really look bad - it just isn't where it would look the best.

So, what do you have to do to win this one of a kind Butterfly Wing Pendant? Not much!

Go to my studio on ArtFire (title links to my studio) take a peak around and then come back here and leave me a comment - either raving about how beautiful it is (lo) , which item you like the best, or some constructive criticism - I already know some of the pictures aren't the best in the world - so no need to comment about those!

Drawing will be held Sat Am Aug 1st.

Good Luck!

Chainmaille - ok which one of you is this?? Andrew or Kimberly - now Andrew if you win - you have to promise to give the pendant to Kimberly ok!!

Love the trees and the wings. Fav is probably between this one http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=270249 and the black twilight. Love the talent, always envious of anyone that can paint/draw.

I'm a sucker for Art Nouveau, so my favorite piece from your shop is this one: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=179684

Easy! The Calla Lily ornament is my all time favorite! Callas were my wedding flower and they hold a special place in my heart-and yours are beautiful!

Sabine Little said...

What a lovely competition. Okay. What I love about your Artfire studio is your header banner, I think it's gorgeous and classy & colourful! And my favourite item is the art nouveau pendant (lol, just read all your comments - Janelle & I have the same taste!). Congratulations on your 100th post, too - master blogger!

Oh Yeah - Kimberly and Sabine entered!!
Kimberly - was going to ask you which calla lily ornament - but just realized I don't have the little one on there yet. Did you see the vase?

Sabine - Thank you - I'm pretty happy with the way that one turned out - the banner! And the art nouveau pendant - and apparently so are other people!
Good luck ladies! and thanks so much for coming by and entering!!
