Who would have thought it? I've waffled enough over the last few years to have written 500 posts! As promised I have finally uploaded some the new designs I've been working on over the last week, mainly daisies with a few baby poppies thrown in the mix for good measure.
There are
toggle clasps, hook clasps (and connectors are on their way) in two different sizes and with a different texture than the ones I listed before Christmas. I love this texture - it's made with my favourite hammer (yes, for those of you who are relatively new or who haven't come to one of my classes, I have a favourite hammer!), and I don't know why it I didn't think of using it on the daisy clasps before now!
The poppies I listed today, and a week or so ago, are lovely little baby ones. There are
poppy headpins and dainty poppy charms, and the challenge I promised you earlier today is on the poppy headpins. There are 5 pairs of poppy headpins, a mix of silver, oxidised silver and oxidised copper, available to 5 people willing to turn them into lovely jewellery. I'm running the challenge a little bit differently than the Oak Leaves Challenge - this time I'm going to take a leaf out of Lori's book and run a lottery - although I expect that it'll be a lot smaller than the Bead Soup lottery!
To enter the lottery, leave a comment on this post before the end of Saturday 21st and on Sunday I will pick 5 names out of the hat. If your name is picked out:
- grab the poppies button on the left to put on your blog with a link back to this post
- make something beautiful with it and post pictures of what you have
made on your blog on the last day of February, Wednesday 29th February.
You will also need to tell us a bit about your design process, what
other ingredients you used etc, and link to the other people taking
part. I'll be taking part in the challenge too. You don't have to make jewellery - if you think of some
other creative way of using your poppies, go for it! As before, the challenge is open to those of you who are overseas as well.
