My Giveaway Announcement (Watercolor Impressions Pendant)

This is it...my promised giveaway!!! 

There's so much to celebrate that I figured it is about that time again to have a giveaway....

First of all, I wanted to introduce my new bead shop EARTHLY JEWELS BEADS where I list my handmade beads made of polymer clay as well as some semiprecious and natural (hand polished) stones. I am uploading beads everyday to stock the new store but, I decided to go ahead and have the giveaway already.

I am especially announcing my WATERCOLOR IMPRESSIONS LINE of beads and focals. Lately I have been inspired with the Impressionism Style Art with painting such as Claude Monet's. I love the colors and the textures of the art. So I gave it a try on clay....

You can also check out my other beads from silly owls....

to the intricate fantasy beads...

to faux ceramics (that are wonderful because they are light and durable).....

and some wonderful semiprecious and natural stones....
to sooo much more at my shop (uploading stuff everyday until the shop is loaded).... Check it out here - EarthlyJewelBeads....

Shipping on my site is a flat rate of $5 (international shipping no matter how many items you purchase!!! So, you can make the most of your shipping fee by ordering several beads on your purchase.)

I also offer wholesale for those that would like to carry my line of handmade art beads in your shops and countries...Send me a message through Etsy or you can email me (myearthlyjewels@yahoo.com). Discounts can go up to 50% off!!! 
(I'd love to get these art beads out there so, let me know if you'd like to be a distributor in your country.)

So, now for the giveaway prize....

I am giving away one of my Watercolor Impressions Pendant.....I created this one with Monet's Irises in the Garden (The Artist's Garden in Givenchy) 1900 in mind...

And here is my wearable art pendant inspired by this painting...


(Note - the prize is for the focal bead pendant only. I'd love to see this pendant in one of your jewelry designs!!! However, if you do not make your own jewelry, I can include a bail and necklace cord so you can still use the pendant right away. Just let me know....)

BTW..Watercolor Impressions Art Beads

My Wednesday was very productive! I was working on a few of my new line of hand painted pendants which I call the Watercolor Impressions. They are very much inspired by the Impressionist style of painting. Last week I sculpted out a dozen or so of them and today, I set out to do my favorite part...the painting... Here's one in the works... you can see all the globs of paint on my palette


It takes a few layers of paint to get to this...almost finished...


Just a touch of magic (gold) and we're done painting...

I did a lot of picture taking today too..I had to finish a current assignment in a local guild that I just joined...more on that on my next blog... Although a day late (for some reason, blogger didn't want to upload yesterday)...happy Wednesday...

You can also check out what everyone has on their bead table this Wednesday by visiting the Flickr group - click here.

I'm happy its June and I'm brewing up a giveaway sometime soon (check back later or maybe tomorrow)....


That's all for now...have a great day!
