I'm so excited to be participating in One World One Heart this year as I missed out on it in 2009! The last time I participated I found so many new blogs to explore. If this is your first time visiting my blog I hope you'll stay and explore awhile. If you've been here before then welcome back!
I went through so many ideas of what I wanted to giveaway this time and I kept changing my mind. I suppose I was taking a magic carpet ride through all my arts and crafts! I finally decided that I want to share with you my ceramic beads and charms. I've been like a machine this past year experimenting with clay and turning out dozens and dozens of pieces until I was happy with the results.
The winner of my blog giveaway will recieve the following charms, pendants and beads all created by me out of clay.
All different shapes and sizes...
Incorporate them into jewelry or anything you want!
The Rules:
1. You must have an active blog. (1 post a month is not an active blog)
2. There needs to be a way for me to contact you (link to blog or email) in your comment.
3. Please leave a comment on this post about what you might do/make with these charms if you win them.
4. One entry per person.
5. Have fun!
The winner will be chosen and announced on February 15th so make sure you stop back in!
thanks for stopping by, your are is amazing. please count me in

wow!
I TOTALLY hope I win!! it's hard for me to say what I would make, I never know until I sit down and start playing around with beads, but I can guarantee it wouldn't take me long to make something pretty out of these! They are great!!
thanks for telling me about this!

These are so lovely. I think I might put them together with some sea glass and driftwood and make a windchime for my garden.

Oh, great prizes! Right now I'm on an earring kick, so I would probably make earrings out of the smaller ones, maybe adding some crystals or gemstones. Crossing my fingers that I win!

These are wonderful! If I won, I would probably make something for myself out of some of them - I'm thinking some kind of necklace. I'd also make something for my sister - earrings? I make glass beads, so maybe I could figure out how to incorporate both into a finished piece. They're really beautiful. If you haven't stopped by my blog yet, I'm number 213 on the magic carpet. http://www.maybeads.blogspot.com Thank you!

In my defense, when I do only post once or twice a month, they are friggin' EPIC posts. Check my own OWOH post, which was supposed to be a quick intro. Yipes!
But I try to be a little more active than that!
I think I'd use these in a necklace...and a collage..and maybe as the body of an art doll...so many things to do!
