Guess what we have a winner for my giveaway!!!!

Yep! We have a winner after all. The story is quite funny. I was browsing through my posts to edit some of them/adding more to the upcoming handmade blog features. I then  noticed for the giveaway post which was last year December btw! that there was one comment. I couldn't believe it! I thought it had been a total bust. Plus I have no idea how I overlooked the comment in my email.
Well I found it read it and answered it as well as emailed the lady back.
The lucky winner is Jeannette "Jenay"  carriere    who herself is a very talented mixed media artist and ex mural artist. Take a look at her colourful,inspirational and warm blog http://www.upandawaystudios.blogspot.com/

So we discussed what she would like as I really don't mind the original pendant can be sent out but remade (as at the time that I wore it to see how it hung etc.. I was a smoker and I smoked while wearing it.Don't worry i never ever smoked in my studio/home)   Or the choice of challenging me creatively and having a complete custom colourway. Well we are going the custom route as the colours Jeanette loves are blue and green and I am very much into water,mermaids,sealife at the moment and have a good stash of blue and green beads,turquoise,amazonite and blue freshwater pearls waiting to be part of something.

Please do check out Jeanette's blog and I will be interviewing this fascinating and talented artist,wife and mother very soon.

Have a great weekend everyone! Dxo

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year everybody! Over here in the UK it's a good piece after midnight and officially 1st January 2012 despite the date/time display on blogger.
My New Years Blogging Resolutions:

• Post at least once a week.
• Catch up on posting the handmade blog features I have piling up.
• Get photographing!  Sharing pieces in progress.
• Sort out a proper nice new look for my blog(s)
• Update the shop on this blog with one off special pieces or workshops available here only (not even my etsy shop or website will have it just yet.)

Create beacause Art Heals,even when I feel down or think I have no ideas.

This is the core of Spiritflower and how it came to be.As a way to help others heal using creativity,a way to remake/remodell their enviroment and gain confidence in themselves as well as adorn themselves in objects,textures,colours that helped with creating a postive self image and enhancing an individuals beauty and unqiueness.
Whats your New Year Resolution?What do you resolve with all your heart to do?
