Happy Mother's Day! I wish all of you a great time with family, enjoying yourselves.
To celebrate, I'm doing a giveaway today. I've got some glass cabochons, and I've been wanting to make them into something fun.
The golden toned one, with the fleur-de-lys cross, is soldered with a jump ring at the top. The single flour-de-lys on a black background is mounted on some pressed-metal filigree I had in my components box.
They are both very rustic-looking and ancient-feeling!
Tell me which one you like by posting a comment here, and why you like that style better, and you will be entered into a chance to win one of them. Do you like the golden-toned fleur-de-lys cross? Or do you prefer the filigree single flour-de-lys?
And thanks for the feedback! I need it, it helps a lot, knowing what you prefer.

Giveaway Winners!
It has been a crazy week! I intended to do the announcement of the giveaway winners last Friday, but then life happened! Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm back on board again, and ready to end the suspense.
The local Mall had a "Mad Hatter Tea Party" event on Saturday, and the granddaughter and I went to enjoy. It had lots of pink flamingos, characters dressed as Alice and the Mad Hatter, and white roses for little hands to paint red. We'll have to see if the images affect my output in jewelry charms over the next week or so, I'm so susceptible to what I see and hear.
I'm sharing this image of a "Bee Joyful" Heart pendant charm I made last weekend, although it has already found a home out of the Etsy shop. I do intend to make more of them, as I like the message and the way the pendant turned out.
Without further waiting, the winner of the rectangular ivy pendant is Heidi Post, for being so decisive about the one she liked.
And the oval ivy pendant is Emanda, for sharing her preference for the oval shape.
If you will both email me your mailing addresses, I will send them out to you, and thanks for participating.
But Wait! There's More! For all of you who posted your thoughts on the Ivy Giveaway, there's a Coupon Code in the Etsy shop for 20% off anything you'd like, even the pieces that are already on sale! When you purchase, just use Coupon Code IVYGIVEAWAY to get your immediate discount. And thanks again for participating in the giveaway, it's fun for me to hear your thoughts about what I'm working on.
Keep an eye on the shop, I have some totally new pieces I'm going to add - I'm excited about them, and hope you'll like them. It's a new bezel shape and size, with some special focal pieces in them.
I'm headed over to the studio today to finish up some orders in pewter, and get some more resin ready to pour. The weather is just right, warm enough and not humid. I have to pour when the weather permits!

Good Friday Giveaway
Good Friday is today, and I don't have any pendants with palm leaves. The closest thing I have are these ivy pendants I've made.
I said I would do a giveaway after April 1, and I intended to have four rectangular pendants in the giveaway. They turned out to be popular, and have found homes! Which is a good problem to have.
So today I'm doing this Good Friday Giveaway with my two ivy pendants, and I'm headed over to the studio to make more florals to list in the shop. I'm getting the clear message from the poll on the left sidebar that you like the floral pieces. That's such a big help. I'm easily distracted and like a lot of images myself, so focus is genuinely needed!
As an extra push to shopping this month, I have an APRILSPECIAL coupon code set up in the Etsy shop to give you an automatic 10% off anything you purchase - and lots of things on sale already at great price savings. I just put some pewter items on sale, so you might find something you love at a super price!
For the giveaway, please tell me which of these two ivy pendant shapes you prefer, and why. Two people will win, picked at random from the oval-preferrers and the rectangule-preferrers - so tell me of these two images, both taken from the book of french designs my friend sent me, you would choose to design with, and why that shape.
As a bonus, I'd also like to know if you think the orientation should be up-and-down or side-to-side for designing jewelry. Would you prefer the oval go sideways? Would you prefer the rectangle go up-and-down?
Oval? Rectangle? Which would you prefer to design with? You might be picked by the random number generator to win it! So post your answer here to enter the giveaway! I'll announce the winners next week.
And if you're a follower of the blog, mention that - it's good for extra points ...

Four Square Language of Flowers
I like to collect old books from the 1800's, with poetry and literature in them. I have an old book, published in Chicago in 1884, titled "Language of Flowers" by Mrs. C.M. Kirtland (illustrated). In those days, especially in England, courting couples communicated with floral bouquets, the flowers themselves having meanings. There was symbolism in the choices of flowers that went into the bouquet, secretly speaking to the giver and the receiver of the gift.
In taking the antique images from the french design book and turning them into these dainty square pendants, I thought I'd add the meanings from "Language of Flowers" for each. In this pretty pink square with two white lilies, the White Lily stands for PURITY and SWEETNESS.
Sometimes I have to interpret what type of flower it is, so this one I saw as a dogwood, the white flower with the yellow in the center. In "Language of Flowers" the dogwood blossom stands for "DURABILITY."
Ivy by itself stands for "FRIENDSHIP. FIDELITY. MARRIAGE." and an ivy sprig with tendrils, like these, stands for "ASSIDUOUS TO PLEASE" in "Language of Flowers."
This last one seems regal to me, with its dainty pansy flowers in pink, yellow and blue. The pansy flower stands for "THOUGHT" in "Language of Flowers."
Since Easter is coming, I thought it would be nice to have some spring flowers on pendants. After April 1, no fooling, I will do another GIVEAWAY with these four square pendants.

Giveaway Winner Announcement
I intended to do the announcement of the winner much earlier this week. But I woke up on Thursday morning with VERTIGO. If you've never had it before, you might not think it could knock you off your feet for several days. Believe me, it really can! I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday afternoon to get "adjusted" so my ears would go back to normal and my eyes would stop spinning in my head. And then I had to keep my head still and level for 24 hours - upright all night in a recliner. But today I can walk without feeling like I'm in the dizzy house at the carnival arcade. So I thought I'd go ahead and do the random number generator and pick a winner out of the 13 replies to the Giveaway Post.And thank you for the feedback on the new work, it was very appreciated.
The random number is 1 - the winner is ALICE! Send me an email with your mailing address and I'll send you the pendant. I hope you enjoy designing with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUT WAIT! All 13 of you who posted (including you, Alice) can use the password GIVEAWAYPOST at the Etsy site and you will get free shipping and 20% discount on anything you purchase between now and the end of March!Don't forget to put the word GIVEAWAYPOST in your notes, so I know you're using the code to get the discount and free shipping - I may not know it's YOU otherwise!
I hope you all go shopping for any goodies you may have had your eye on, with free shipping and a discount - but don't wait until April 1 - no fooling!

Happy Giveaway Productivity
I'm happy some of you are participating in the giveaway.I was worried that no one would, and then I would not be smiling as big! This weekend was pretty productive at the studio. I was experimenting with some colors and textures, and one of the designs I ended up with was this richly patterned heart. It reminds me of oriental rugs, or kilim patterned fabrics. Very asian, I think.
Here is another photo, a group shot of some of the other hearts I got finished today. I like seeing them together with all their colors lined up, they remind me of easter eggs.
If you haven't posted to participate in the giveaway yet, it's still open. I added all these hearts to the Etsy shop Sunday evening, if you want to see more pictures of them.

Let's Have a Giveaway
Last night my granddaughter spent the night at my house, and today we all went to a birthday party of one of her friends. Her mother, brother and I piled in their car with her and drove to a park. The weather has been so odd - yesterday the temperature was in the 70's, then it poured rain for hours, and the temperatures fell. Today it was very windy and chilly for the outdoor party. The kids didn't seem to notice, they ate hot dogs and played on the playground, and had a great time. It was fun going to the party with them, I hadn't done anything like that with my daughter and her kids before. They were very tired afterward, and went home with an idea of naps for everyone.
So I have the afternoon to myself, and I think I will go over to the studio and work on some new pieces. I make things that I like the looks of, and just hope that someone else will also like them and be inspired to create with them.
I need some guidance, some feedback on the types of things that folks like, and I'm willing to do a giveaway to get you all to post your thoughts.
If you will go over to the Etsy shop and look at the new things I'm working on, the resin, polymer clay and pewter, and post here as a response what your particular favorite look is - one person will be selected from the responses to win the oval focal resin pendant in the picture. And as I usually do, everyone who posts a response will get some kind of a thank-you from me when I announce the winner.
So please go over the the Etsy shop, look at the new work, and give me your honest feedback (good or bad!), for a chance to win the oval pendant!And thank you, in advance, for the feedback. I really need it!

Dream Catcher Giveaway
To all of you who are getting snowed in, or having ice storms, I'm thinking of you.
The weather across the country is severe today. We just had a tornado warning on the radio for the Louisiana parishes north of here.
It's been raining a lot here, the ground is saturated, but at least the temperatures are above freezing.
Think of this little bottle as a repository for my well-wishes for you.
And full of my glee!
Why?
Woo Hoo!
I can't help but celebrate. For some reason, those round numbers always make me feel happy.
So if you need something to lift your spirits today, how about a giveaway?
Share some ideas about how to use these little looped bottles by replying to this post with a comment, later this week someone will be chosen at random to win one!
What would you put inside? Would you put a label on the outside?
Add a cork? Beads? Chain?
Do tell ... you might win one to play with!
And thanks to all of you who helped to push my sales over that 1299 mark - so great!

Headings, Finials and Giveaway Hearts
Many months ago, I made some headpins, really fancy ones.
Then I didn't make any for a long time.
On Saturday, I looked at my molds and thought, I need to make some more headpins.
I need some myself, for some crystal drops that I want to wire wrap and give a really fancy look.
This Finial headpin has a hole at the top, so it can be added to a chain or wire wrapped bead link, and a briolette or lampwork bead can be put onto the wire at the bottom and wrapped to make a really special finish for it.
The wire is really long, to give plenty of room for wire wrapping, but can easily be cut to shorten if necessary.
I got the top finial really thin but sturdy, so it's light but durable. Love that new belt sander, Yes I Do!
This is another little heart headpin I made on Saturday. It has a cute floral folksy design on it, and a long, long wire tail.
I can see these used with a lovely lampwork bead on top and wire wrapped to make a dangle. I put both of them in the Etsy shop, if you want to play with them in your designs, too. There's also one that looks like the top of a spoon, and one that has an antique key design. Very fun!
If you have suggestions on how you'd use them, post comments here, there will be a giveaway later this week!

It's A Winner Today Giveaway
Of course, I knew you all would have lots of fresh, exciting ideas about how to use the 3-hole center drilled keys. You're so creative and brilliant!
Someone asked me how I keep the drill going through the pewter key charm - I don't use a handheld drill, I have a flex shaft. It's almost like holding a pencil except a lot louder!
But you all want to know who was the winner, right?
Out of all the great answers I got, and there are some real special keepers in there, the winners are LOIS MOON and DEBORAH.
So click on the Ringleader of LLYYNN on the left sidebar, send me an email with your contact information, and I'll send the 3-hole key out to each of you.
And - AS A BONUS - everyone who answered on the original giveaway post gets FREE SHIPPING for the rest of the month of November on any Etsy shop purchase. Just put 'KEYSTROKES' in the notes at checkout to let me know you're taking advantage of the free shipping, and to remind me.
Thank you all very much. Great ideas! I can't wait to try some of them myself.

Key Strokes Giveaway
I took the little key charm, and put a hole right in the center for a dangle. I was thinking of a chain attached to the end and the open key top, with the dangle hanging horizontally.
But I bet you can think of a bunch more ideas!
So post them here, and you might be picked at random to have one of these little key charms to use in your design.
How would you design using this fun key shape, with a hole in the center?
I'll announce the winner of the GIVEAWAY next week!

Three Rounds
These three designs, with their similar shape and style, seemed to me to go well together.
So I snapped a photo with the three of them, the flower button, the moonface faux ivory, and the vineyard button.
The moonface pendant is already spoken for - I need to make some more of them. They've been very popular - THANKS!
The buttons are from the group loaned to me by Deryn Mentock a while back. I'm still taking molds off them and casting new ones, to reproduce the old button images.
At the moment, I'm just putting a hole top and bottom in the button design, to use as a focal bead, but I'm working on a plan to turn them into a kind of clasp or closure. I think they'd be really lovely used that way.
If you think of any other unique and special ideas about how you think it would be fun to see these button designs used, reply to this post, there's a GIVEAWAY! I'll announce the winner next week!

Will You Be A Winner
I made this little bracelet using some of my cast pewter buttons. I was inspired by the button jewelry of Lorelei Eurto, and I wanted to play with the ideas using some of the pewter I've cast.
Someone asked me recently whether there's any lead in the pewter I use, and there absolutely is no lead. I make sure when I'm mixing the metals to make the alloy - no lead allowed.
The bracelet is fun to wear, it jingles a little when you move. This bracelet is the object of the giveaway from yesterday's post - so if you answer the question there you might win this bracelet.
I used wire wrapping to connect the links, then I patinaed it all and used the buffer to polish it. It has a very ancient look, like it might have been part of a treasure trove found in an archeological dig somewhere exotic.
Does this giveaway bracelet inspire you to post a reply to yesterday's question and enter the running to win it?
I hope so, I really need your answers.

Celebrate a Giveaway
Last December I was so happy to be included in a collaboration article with Deryn Mentock, talking about using pewter components in jewelry and the inspiration of the two of us working together.
Deryn was an early tester and adopter of the pewter designs, when I first started working with it. I've learned a lot and experimented to come up with new ways to work. All along she has been willing to use the pieces in her designs, and create lovely wearable jewelry with them.

One of the designs she created that didn't end up in the photographs for the article is a necklace she calls "Biker Chick Protection" and it's lovely, I think she showed it on her blog.
I had only made the one version of the central focal since last September, so I decided to create one like it. It's in the Etsy shop, a skull and gothic design that would look great as a choker or as part of a unique bracelet design.

For the giveaway to celebrate all the wonderful milestones I've had in the first half of this year, I can use your help answering a question.
Everyone who comments on this post will get a little "thank you" from me, but one person will win a special wearable finished piece of jewelry. I'll show a photo of the giveaway item tomorrow.
The question is - what would you like to see me make more of in the pewter Etsy shop?
Large central focal beads, pairs for earrings?
Do you like the one of a kind special things, or prefer standard clasps and rings that you can use in designs?
Do you like finished jewelry or just beads and components?
Would you like to see more finished earrings and bracelets that you could wear, or do you really like getting a piece to add to your own designs?
I'd love your feedback and hope you'll give me lots of good answers - my time to use in creating is short each week, I'd like to maximize it in the right directions - with your good guidance.
I'll announce the winner next week - lots of juicy details please???

Has It Been That Long
When I traveled to Ireland with friends, several years ago now, I went looking through shops trying to find medallions or medals that I could convert to jewelry designs, as an inspiration. I wasn't able to find any, except in one shop window I peeked through but the shop was not open at the time and I couldn't ever get into it.
With the Memorial Day holiday in the US coming up, I guess I'm thinking again about medallions and medals, so I made this piece to resemble an antique emblem that might have passed down through the generations.
There's a sailing ship in the center, with the crown on top and thistles on the sides and bottom. I can't read all the latin inscription, but I am thinking it's something inspirational.
I think it's time for a celebration with a giveaway, I'll think of what I can come up with. What are we celebrating?
50,000 hits on the blog was reached yesterday.
That's amazing to me.
I found out the blog is ranked #9 on a Jewelry Wiki site.
Astounding.
And the Etsy shop is teetering on the edge of 1000 sales in the one shop, and 900 sales in the other shop. When I add that together, it's almost scary to know I've created that many items, much less that someone is enjoying them and creating with them.
So keep an eye peeled later in the week for a giveaway - as a thank you! and celebration.
None of it would have been possible without YOU!

Monsoon and Prizes
It's been storming and raining here almost every day and night. Right now there's a downpour, the sky is dark. And last night it rained and stormed.
I need an umbrella hat and galoshes. Isn't that a mental picture?
The grass was cut last weekend, thankfully, and it will have to wait to be cut again until things dry out a bit.
I am trying out a different editor for the blog at Blogger, it's taking me a little while to get used to it. Sometimes posting is a struggle. "Why did you do THAT and move that THERE?" so if the posts look ... different ... that's why, as I get used to a new editor.
I'm particpating at the Art Bead Scene this month as one of the sponsors. I'll be giving away a pair of the wings you see in the picture on this post. And also one of my Blue Belle hearts.
To enter, you need to create a finished piece of jewelry, take a photo and add to the ABS Flickr group, based on the theme for the month.
There are weekly prizes, and then a big monthly prize winner.
Go over to Art Bead Scene to check out the new design on that blog or to get a look at the image that's the inspiration for the monthly theme. And check out the Flickr site for lots of beautiful pieces to ponder, even if you don't enter anything yourself.
Tomorrow is my day for Studio Saturday over at ABS, there'll be a drawing then too at the end of the week. Lots of places to win lots of good stuff! Check it out ...

Giveaway Ending, Winners and Goodies
There was such a great response to my question on the giveaway post, and I'm enjoying reading all the replies.

Here are pictures of the front and back of the piece that's being given away. I found the glass bead and loved the color, so I decided to create a compatible polymer clay emblem to use in one of my new heart bezels.
On the reverse side I engraved a faint pattern in the pewter, to look like it has been worn away with much wearing, a delicate linear engraved line design.
It looks very ancient and feminine, I like it a lot.

All this coming week I'll be showing new pieces I'm making with the pewter bezels and polymer clay together, like carved bone, ceramic or ivory.
I decided there were so many great replies that I would offer everyone who gave a reply to the giveaway post a 10% discount in the Etsy shop, so if you've had your eye on something you can use this discount until the end of April. Maybe you need something for a special Mother's Day gift, or just something for yourself.

Maybe you need something for a special Mother's Day gift, or just something for yourself.
To help me remember to give you the discount, please write me a note at checkout, I'll adjust the price through PayPal - and enjoy!
The winner of the Peach Heart Drop Pendant is Cynthia Wolff at BeatnHeart - Thank you ALL very much for all the good feedback.
And I wish I could have all of you in the studio for a day, to learn whatever you'd like. Maybe one day ... it's on my mind ... possibly in 2010, or maybe 2011!
