Competition Time

I have been wanting to run a competition on this blog for quite a while, I hosted a giveaway a couple of years ago with every intention of doing others but I never quite managed it until now.
The great news is that today the prize has been generously donated by The Bead Shop Manchester and is one I hope you will find very exciting. As I have often said before, my jewellery making journey started with a kit to make 6 pairs of earrings, so based on my simple beginnings I have selected a prize for this competition that will provide you with much much more than beads for just 6 pairs of earrings! so without further ado - let me show you the prize -
The lucky winner of this competition will win the following



20 silver plate earwires

20 gold plate earwires

             

25 silver plate head pins



25 gold plate headpins


         

2 each of 10 different designs of 15mm handpainted round glass beads (design may vary from the bead pictured above)


     
100 4mm gold plate round metal beads  and 100 4mm champagne plate round metal beads

         

50 4mm                                  and     50 6mm czech faceted round glass mix

       

1 beadsmith beadsoup lavender garden and  1 beadsmith beadsoup vineyard


       

1 pr of 4 in 1 pliers               and  'The basics of bead Stringing' which has a page on earring making but also then hopefully encourage you to take your beading journey further.

So that is it -  I hope you agree this is a fantastic prize.
