Sharing Spring - A Jewelry Affaire Giveaway

 

Spring is here (sort of for us it is still chilly and raining) however the daffodils and tulips are making their way up through the soil to meet the earth. This month I have the honor of a featured article in the Spring Issue of Jewelry Affaire. If you have not yet picked up this issue it is a must. Beth Livesay (Editor of JA and darling friend) has outdone herself once again. The range of creativity is HUGE and so inspirational.

As I have mentioned before I find myself craving color on all levels of my life. Imagine my delight back in November when I received a box full of Industrial Chic Baubles (designed by my friend Susan Lenart Kazmer), they were chock full of color. Immediately I began to play and construct pieces that were not only whimsical but retained my voice as an Artist. 

So that said I would like to share a wee bit of Spring with you by gifting the above piece (a necklace composed of IC Charms). The task - leave a comment sharing your favorite thing about Spring. On Monday April 18th I will put all of the names into a hat and My Love will pull one name from the lot of comments. I absolutely adore the process of gift giving and have found doing so via my blog allows me one more opportunity to say thank you for stopping by.

Stay tuned as next week I will have another giveaway having to do with Industrial Chic and it is EXCITING!

Hi Kristen, I love all of your works in the Stampington publications!

I suffer from the winter blues, so for me spring is a time of renewal and reigniting my creativing spirit. As soon as mother nature begins creating her canvas of beautiful budding trees and plants I am instantly inspired to get back in my studio!

Thanks so much for the chance,

Abby

Spring to me is the sight of the first crocuses peeking through the ground. Lovely necklace!

Our spring a bit late this year, but seeing Robins fluttering about the yard and cherry trees beginning to bloom shows promise of warmer weather.
