Happy Birthday to me, giveaway for you!!!

First I'm going to share the work of fellow Jewelry Designer Janet Miller of PinkPoppyStudio on Artfire, she was among the first to purchase some of my new components and she made beautiful things happen with them.

First she made my rustic little Sun Charms soft and feminine by combining them with Luminous Periwinkle Blue Chalcedony!
Just gorgeous!!


Then she took these sweet Bronze Flower charms and paired them with one of my favorite color combinations of Turquoise Magnesite and bright orange Carnelian.


I really love seeing my charms used by other wonderful designers, thank you Janet!

Now I know you've been waiting for the giveaway. Here it is!! Leave a comment and let me know which prize you would prefer for one entry, if you Blog about it, post it to FB or Twitter leave a 2nd, 3rd and 4th comment showing that you have done so for as many as 4 entries. I will draw randomly on Sunday afternoon. Please be sure your contact information is included, I'd hate to have a winner that I have no way of contacting!!

If you are the winner you can choose from 2 sets of available components from my Etsy Shop to use in your own designs OR these earrings made with Bronze Components and beautiful Lampwork Beads by Kelley's Beads Studio. **To clarify, the earrings below are part of the giveaway, the earrings above belong to Janet and are for sale in her Artfire store. Some of the comments sounded like some of you thought the above earrings were part of the giveaway. AND I'm getting entries with no contact info and I'm unable to view profile, so be sure I can get ahold of you if you win!!


GOOD LUCK!

Kristi

    Happy day! All great pieces. See? Isn't it fun when someone uses your components? It is like they take on another life. I love the way you took that shot of the earrings on the rustic drawer handle. I love the ones that look like grapefruit slices, or that little star. But I am already the recipient of your goodness, so let someone else win! Enjoy the (birth)day!

    They are all stunning, but I love the classic combo of the turquoise color with the carnelian too. And the big bronze flowers are just lovely.
