2. A pendant
3. A pair of earrings

Let me know in the comments. If you want to have another say in the matter comment on my facebook page. Majority wins with a random selection as a tiebreaker. Voting closes midnight GMT on Wednesday, 13 November.

This bracelet is almost, but not quite, related to the giveaway 😉

Come back next Friday and I should be ready to post the giveaway.

I was the chubby kid left behind when sports teams were chosen. Which is fair enough because, after all, I was rubbish. But oh, that horrible, sinking feeling! 😦

I have been considering hosting a giveaway here on my blog, but Grumpzilla me (who has been far too vocal of late) says “What if no one comments? What if they think everything I’ve ever made is rubbish and therefore I am rubbish?” (The makers among you may understand the feeling.)

So my question is: if hosted a giveaway would YOU comment?

This polymer clay necklace doesn’t really relate to anything, but the post looked naked without a photo 😀

Now I just need the courage to… click… publish! Argh!

Pretty big giveaway

One PIF poofed two to go

So my first PIF (pay it forward) has found its new home. The idea is that in exchange for a handmade mystery gift you agree to spread the love and make three gifts to give to other people. I still have two available, so if you like surprises, and you love making things* comment on my original post, or follow the branches and comment on the blogs down the line.

I made this bracelet for Cara Hayman inspired by the artichoke pendant workshop by Eva Ehmeier at Polymer Pamper Play earlier this year (where amazingly Cara sat opposite me!). I love the effect – they look like empty seedpods to me (have they engineered cuboid flowers yet?) but I don’t think I’ll be making many more – they are REALLY fiddly.
