60 Carats of Emeralds and Sterling silver.......

Sneak Peek.

But first let me feature the lady I am doing this give away for.

Liss Silverwing is the name she goes by in Facebook. Felicia Ciobota is her full name and she is trying to raise funds for her Dad to have a procedure for his heart.

You can find Liss here , here and here. Liss also runs auctions on Outbid and can be found here. Check the times out and see if you can get a great piece at a great price.

Liss is a creative artist designing handcrafted pendants of selective and custom made artwork at affordable prices.

In her words....
"I draw my inspiration from my desire to provide a decent living for 4 year old. Being a single parent makes me realize I need to put every ounce of effort into my designs for him.
I've been making pendants and painting them for several years, and I find painting and crafting to be my escape and a very beautiful work.
I have all kinds of ideas that I want to explore for my art and start making more than pendants  but I need a lot of encouragement and support for that.
I recently took up digital painting as well so if you want a totally original painting done after a photograph of loved ones or just some other picture that you love, you can let me know and we can work it out."
If people want to buy, go here  , and mention the code FusionMuse to obtain 10% off the purchase.

So that is Liss. My give away is so that you might want to support her. 

How to enter?

1. One entry is to go and like her FB page.

2. Another 5 entries can be added if you make a purchase.

3. Another entry can be obtained if you come back here and tell me which of her pieces or artworks you like best.

Thats it. 

Ok now for the Emeralds.

My soup arrived today.
OMG !!!!! I was so excited. It came so fast.My lovely partner is Miko Wiropati, Uniquely Yunikua and she is based in Indonesia. Miko and I have become friends online just recently as she saw some beads in my store and I sent them to her as a gift.
So what did I get?????
Loads of yummy pieces to play with. Yes Yummy. Fried Egg sandwiches anyone?

Well I was inspired but Thomas tells me that they wont fit in the pan so I am going to do something different with them instead. I think I will "do my Saturn" instead and you will have to wait until reveal date of 25th August for that one.

Here is the rest of the collection. I had a hard time getting them all in the shot.

So many pieces to play with and I have ideas for all. I even get to combine some of my new beads that I picked up just today and I am going to make a clasp to go with one piece because it is crying for some Brass.LOL So much fun and I am itching to get started.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow I announce the giveaway beads for blogging winners of the week. Please take the time to check out what others have won and done with their giveaway pieces.

Love and Hugs to all
Tanya

I know this was supposed to go a few days ago but I have been held up by a combination of things that were totally out of my control. Hence the late post but it is here now, better late than never.

We had 5 lovely ladies add our Free beads button to their blog side bars and I have sent parcels. How long until they arrive? How long is a piece of string ? LOL  For what ever reason the post takes its own sweet time no matter how quickly I get the bundles to the post office. So expect 10-21 days.
So who won?

Drum roll Please
