I do not know quite why I have waited this long to do a give-away... probably because I think the things I make are not good enough or something like that. I have a very bad habit of being too critical about the things I make ...
Anyway... my first giveaway consists of collection of different hand-made clasps, closures, links etc.
As a lot of you will know, I have over the course of the last year or so, participated in some on-line classes with Deryn Mentock. I have quite a collection accruing and I know I don't need them all!
Most of my giveaway items were made while participating in Deryn's classes... some have been made while I was experimenting. The textured corkscrew (no 6) is made from instructions in Handcrafted Wire Findings by Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson. The soldered S-link (no 5) is from taken from the book Making Silver Chains by Glen F. Waszek.
The small collection awaiting the winner.
Up close... shibori and beaded wraps links.
A different view.
If you wish to take part in the give-away.... please become a follower if you are not already, leave a comment on this post and, if you blog/facebook about the give-away, then you will be given an extra name in the hat! Please leave me your link in the comment box if you have done this.
I will draw the winner's name next Monday the 18th of June.

For those who are worried about being a follower.... like I once was..... 'following' a blog allows you to comment on a blog post if you wish. It also allows me to get to know you a little through those comments and that is something I certainly like to do.
It is still astounding to me that people from all over the world visit my little blog... it would be so nice to 'meet you' through commentary... please think about it. Understand that I do not send any emails etc unless it is a thanks in response to a comment. Now might be the time to come out from lurkdom......!!?
O.K then... let's hope I get some interest??
Hope you are all having a great day... whatever you are doing,
Love the metal work, what a great collection. Would love to win... Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work...I'm going to have to look into on-line classes because distance is a problem for me too.
ReplyDeleteI love the clasps and connectors that you've made and this is such a generous giveaway! I really want to take one of Deryn's online classes, especially her Boho Bliss class.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
Yours was one of the first blogs I got up the nerve to "follow" because I love the fact that you share your experiments. I'm pleased to see the results of your work with clasps.
ReplyDeleteNot good enough?! Looks good to me :)
ReplyDeleteAlready a follower!
Those are gorgeous. I would love a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI made a post on my facebook page (Love, Yesterdays aka Lisa Sittniewski), but FB would not let me post the link to the actual post...said it was too spammy. However, it did let me post a link to your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic! I know we're all our own worst critics, but you have nothing to criticize here :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I posted about it on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/expostfactojewelry
ReplyDeleteI was already a follower.
I am absolutely sure you will get a lot of interest. They are all great pieces. Hope I am the lucky one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your generosity.

I love them all Miss Jenni! I think that the one that has that dark mysterious finish is my favorite. I would really like to take Deryn's class and make my own findings. You have inspired me! I would certainly know exactly what to do with all these beautiful things if I won as I just spent a small fortune on beads and things from the Bead & Button show that could use a stunning clasp! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing!!!! I would love any of them!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!! Really fantastic... especially love the fiber wrapped beads! :)))

Beautiful pieces! Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteJenni, what a great giveaway! I'm already a folllower and would love to also be the winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Hi Jenni! I just posted about your give-away on my blog at http://kymhunterdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/06/jennis-beads-my-first-give-away.html
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Would love to be on the giveaway - I have been visiting Deryns site a bit lately as well - I think I may of even got the link from your blog some time ago - I have tonnes of recycled copper wire in my studio I need to start working on those tutorials. - Love all the different styles you have made.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about taking that class and this might have pushed me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteGreat work and more than good enough!!
What an awesome collection! My favorite is #1 as it reminds me of ancient leather. I would echo Jenni's comment to all readers hesitating to "follow": it is so easy to start a Blogger account and you don't need to write a blog (I used to think that). I just started one last month and I love having the list of blogs I follow all in one place. Before today I hadn't been to Jenni's blog since March; it is easy to lose track as there are so many great ones out in the "blogosphere". You can bet I became a follower today... and thank you Kym Hunter for linking!
ReplyDeleteI shared on my FB. Thanks for the easy links at the bottom of your post, Jenni!
ReplyDeleteYour stuff isn't good enough!?? Are you kidding me? You have nothing to worry about. Your stuff is amazing. I'd love to have it. On that note, as you probably have guessed, I am indeed a follower. Have been. Long time! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, but what beautiful 'stuff' would love to win! Thank you for the giveaway chance!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower too. Such interesting clasps - would love to have them! they are great. I also linked your giveaway to my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me when I find another talented artist so of course I will follow you. I love all your clasps and wraps - makes me realize I need to get back to working with wire again. Would love to win.

I love your clasps! My fave I think are those spring end crimps #1 ... but maybe it's just 'cause they're black, because they're all so nice :) and those blue jean links are too cool :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Shaiha shared this link so I could find you :) I just signed up as a follower and am looking forward to your posts!
Jenni, hope you had a fun give away! I always smile when I see you have visited. You work is very lovely someone will have great fun with your components!
