Prize update for the June challenge

Hi everyone, just to let you all know the details of the prize for the June challenge. We have something a little different for you this month! I have raided my stash and put together a collection of beads in lovely summery shades of purple, blue and green.

Everything in the photo (apart from the bowl) is up for grabs. There is a specially made sparkling bead soup which includes seed beads, fire polished crystals, Swarovski crystals, glass pearls, drop beads and cubes.

There are also: piggy beads, flowers, leaves, dagger beads, shell hoops, donuts, a string of matt crackle beads, larger matt round beads, three lengths of faux suede thonging, a pair of butterfly connectors, some face cabochons and a few orphan artisan lampwork beads. I may add a few more bits and bobs by the end of the month!

So if you'd like to win this little lot, then get beading! The details for the June challenge are here.

Happy Birthday to Us!!! Giveaway.

Wow, a whole year, I can't quite believe it! We have had some great posts and challenges and I'd like to thank Clair and Liz especially for introducing and continuing the fabulous moodboard challenges!

You have already seen the prizes in the sneaky peaks but here is a recap,

Marcia DeCosters Beaded Opulence


Sterling Silver Rose Garden Earrings



12mm swarovski rivoli

Miyuki delica beads and some gorgeous ceramic focal beads

A pair of vintaj brass charms

To be in with a chance to win this lovely pack of prizes, all you need to do is comment on this post before 7.00pm GMT next Wednesday 16th March 2011. I will randomly draw one winner at 8.00pm Wednesday 16th March and the winner will be announced here that evening.

We'd love it if you could share news of the giveaway with your readers on your own blogs, if you do please include a link in your comment on this post and you will be entered into a draw for a secret bonus prize! As above I will randomly draw one winner at 8.00pm on Wednesday 16th March and the winner will be announced here that evening.

As this is a birthday celebration, I think it is only fair that the giveaway is open to all team members of OTTBS as well as readers.

Happy Beading!

Giveaway Prize - Sneaky Peak 4.

We had a lovely day out in Cardiff today and I got to go to Crystals and Ice. It's a fab shop packed with lovely beady goodies. I was a bit spoilt for choice, but I love rivoli's so I picked up this gorgeous 12mm aqua beauty just for you. I think it will blend beautifully with the beads from sneaky peak 2!
Happy beading!

Giveaway Prize - Sneaky Peak 3

Even though I bead and make jewellery myself, I love to wear pieces made by other beaders, so today's sneaky peak prize is a pair of my signature circular peyote earrings in the Rose Garden colourway inspired by the pink, green and creams of this months moodboard challenge. The circles are 1 inch and finished with sterling silver earwires.

Rumour has it that the husbeast is planning a trip to Cardiff tomorrow, which means a visit to Crystals and Ice, my local bead shop, I may just have to pick up a little something for the giveaway!

Happy beading!
