Posts in március 2012 ~ moonsafari beads - unique handcrafted jewelry

Némi nehézség után sikerült kisorsolnom a játékom nyerteseit :) Nagyon nagyon sokan jelejtkeztetek a játékra, szinte hihetetlen, 298 jelentkező volt :) Nagy sikere volt a kabosoncsomagnak úgy érzem :) Kicsit több mint a fele a jelentkezőknek ezt választotta.

Nem untatlak titeket tovább statisztikákkal, inkább jöjjön a nyertesek neve :)

Az "A" nyereményt Szélesi-Szilágyi Andrea nyerte, aki 55. volt a jelentkezők közt
A "B" nyereményt, a kabosonokat Eva Kadrnozkova nyerte, 117-es rajtszámmal :)

Gratulálok mindkettejüknek! A holnapi nap folyamán emailt írok a további teendőkről, de az sem baj ha a nyertesek írnak nekem előbb :)
Köszönöm mindenkinek a jelentkezést és a megosztásokat! Remélem a következő játékomra is ilyen sokan jöttök, próbálok valami jót kitalálni :)

It was not easy to create the list for the draw! There were 298 names on the list! I think this giveaway was a big success (and the cabochon pack was also a big success, more than half of the people chose it). But finally I managed, so here are the winners:

Pack "A" goes to Szélesi-Szilágyi Andrea
Pack "B" goes to Eva Kadrnozkova

Congratulations! I will send the emails tomorrow! :)

Thank you Everyone for joining my giveaway, see you next time! :)

Here's the day! It's the Bead Soup Party blog hop!

This is the first time for me and my partner was Carolien of Kralalien. She creates lampwork beads so I was very happy that Lori paired me with her!! :) And I was not disappointed at all when I got my beads! But this doesn't mean It was easy to work with my bead soup ;) I am used to seed beads and bead weaving, bead embroidery techniques, and now I had a bowl of large beads! Here's what I got:

I had some seed beads though (larger than what I usually work with), silver tone metal beads, glass beads in crystal, turquoise and cobalt blue, a beautiful flower clasp (I really really love it!), and lampwork beads made by Carolien herself! They are cobalt blue, turquoise and transparent, with a gorgeous focal bead that reminded me of Turkish Evil Eye beads! I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it (readers of my blog might know that I love Turkey and Istanbul :)

Here's what I cooked :)

They might be simple but I wanted to make something I can wear too - mostly wear bracelets and earrings. So I created a set that reminds me of Istanbul - a multistrand bracelet with the focal bead and the clasp, and a pair of oriental style earrings with swirled and hammered wire and glass beads that look like a sultan's turban. From my own stash I added some cobalt blue seed beads, some silver seed beads and a few evil eye beads that I brought from Turkey.
I made another pair of earrings too with the swirled glass beads. They are simple but perfect to wear at work :)
I didn't use all the beads yet (because those were too large to include them in the bracelet and too heavy for my ears), I think I will make a necklace from them. Maybe with a bead embroidered pendant :)

I hope Carolien likes what I made from her beads! :)
Here's what she created from my bead soup, I love the set!!

Thank you Carolien for the pretty bead soup and thank you Lori for organizing the game and choosing me to play! :) It's been a lot of fun! And now I'm off to see what others created! :)
