900 Fans! Who would have ever thought that I'd be back here so quickly to announce the drawing for 900 Fans? I am so proud and thrilled to be giving away another prize - two in one week!
This prize is a pendant and a new skill that I've been working on diligently - wire coiling and wrapping. This free form chunk of green aventurine has been in my bead stash for a very long time. After seeing a tutorial from my friend Amanda at Pallina Designs, I decided to give the technique a shot. I used bright copper wire in 3 different gauges to wrap the pendant, then used more to wrap nine, 4mm tourmaline beads onto the piece to commemorate the achievment of 900 fans. The piece includes a copper chain and pendant bracket. All of the copper has been sealed with Renaissance wax to keep it bright and shiny!
To win, simply leave a comment with this post and include your name and email address. Winner will be announced Sunday night, September 19 at 8 PM CST. Thank you to everyone who has participated, shared my page and invited their friends to my page. It is all of you who make it possible for me to do what I love :)
Oh I REALLY want to win this piece! Gorgeous and just my colors. Congrats on reaching 900!
