Yay! It's that time again - One World, One Heart 5th annual (and last, sigh....) Blog Giveaway!
The purpose of the giveaway is for bloggers to meet other bloggers, make new friends and have fun!
For those who are new to my blog, I am a mixed media artist who is presently (as in this week) into metals and jewelry making. I also enjoy working with glass, and I am learning to carve wood and bone. I love power tools and collect them....now if i just knew how to use them! (...some of them scare me...but that's another story....) I live on Kauai in Hawaii....weather has been gorgeous this week....
This is what I will be giving away to one lucky winner.
It's not quite finished....it still needs the eye to be set and then to be polished but it's almost ready.
To win the bracelet, all you have to do is leave a comment. That's it! Only one comment per person. BE SURE YOU LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OR A WAY I CAN CONTACT YOU if you are the winner. You may post a comment from Jan 31st until Feb 17th. On Feb 18th I will draw the random winner. To visit other blogs (last year there were over 900! - and AMAZING things were given away!) please click on this link.
The bracelet is made from a vintage sterling silver plated serving spoon. It is quite large...if your wrist is small, the bracelet can be squeezed tighter... The finding is a vintage brass casting from the now out of business LeVay Glassworks at the Milton School House. Check them out! The Levay studio was abandoned for 20 years and the space is now being converted into a home and various businesses. But, the owners, Meredith and Joel, have discovered TONS of amazing art supplies and cool stuff. They are selling what they find to pay for the extensive refurbishing Visit them at The Milton Schoolhouse.
OK. Back to the bracelet. It has 2 naked cherubs and looks very Victorian. ....and of course the center is a doll eyeball set in a bezel made from a vintage watch part
....because, as all my friends know, I collect and LOVE LOVE LOVE eyeballs.

Hi Cetta ,
First, I'm so jealous that you live in Hawaii. It has been my dream destination! Probably cause it was was my mother's dream. I am in the frozen tundra Minneapolis, MN. Your name is very unique. I'm wondering if it's Italian, I'll look it up. I think I will name my next doll Cetta.
How unique your bracelet is. I love it! It would be so much fun to wear.
I'd love to add my name!!!
Stunning creation!!!
What an amazing gift you are giving away! Please count me in. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. We both have unique gifts to giveaway. Hope to hear again from you soon.

Hi Connie. Thank you for visiting my blog. Geez....your bracelet is eye-popping gorgeous!! At first I didn't understand "mystery molds", but it was fascinating. I actually think they all looked pretty.
We're expecting a snow storm today (in Louisiana no less), so I will just envision a lovely day in Hawaii visiting your studio.
Happy OWOH to you!
This is the first time I have ever seen eyeball jewelry! What a concept! Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
Jobi@watercoloryourworld.com
Oh wow! That is one of the most unique pieces of jewelry I have ever seen! I can't believe that is made out of a spoon! Wow!
I'd always had a thing for eyes in jewelry too. I remember as a kid going to a booth selling hologram pendants. Out of all the cute animal ones and what not I chose the eye. It even blinked if you turned it right lol

Thanks for stopping at my blog on this event. Your work with pewter is brave, so glad you weren't badly injured. Power tools are fun, as long as I can keep a tight hold.
Enjoyed looking at your blog, the posts, and photos of the walks, mushrooms, and your family are fabulous. I could hear the waves, I wish I could hear the waves.
Aloha is the extent of my Hawaiian, so long. Msg me at: newendstudio gmail
