This and That and Shamelss Self Promotion

Before I forget, since June 21st is the Summer Solstice, I will announce the winner of my blog give away on June 22nd. That means you have one more day to go to the article titled: There's incompatibility and there's just plain ugly to enter the blog give away! That's the prize!











Shameless Self Promotion!
Once in a while we all have to do this, well, we don't HAVE to do this, but I like to shamelessly self promote my items. So, that being said, take a look at these things:

In my Etsy store:
PMS or something I said?
Ever feel that way?















My Artfire Store:
Jeans Appeal Funky Fiber Earrings
















In my 1000Markets store:
Island Passion Handmade Coral Lampwork Bead Necklace

















Be good and have a fun weekend!

12

Would you like to win 12 of my polymer discs? I'll send them to you for free. All you have to do is help me complete my necklace. Here is another picture of the discs. I actually went through them to find some very nice ones for the winner.












In order to win these discs, you will need to answer some questions that will help me to complete a necklace I started that uses these discs.


Please look at this necklace. It's a wire crochet necklace. As you can see, it's not finished yet. The necklace has 3 strands, and it's a choker sized necklace. You can see that I used the discs in each strand.













Now, Angelina Beadalina suggested that I use a lampwork focal in the necklace, and I found the perfect one! (Ang, thank you for the suggestion, too, and you can still play this game.) Take a look at this bead.
The colors are absolutely perfect for this necklace! This bead is the result of a challenge I participated in.















Now, here's the necklace with the bead placed on it . It's not wire wrapped yet, it's just placed at the bottom of the necklace.

















Here are the questions I need for you to answer:
1) What do you think, does the necklace look better with or without the bead?
2) What do you think would be a good name for the necklace?

On Saturday, sometime during the day, I will put any and all names in a hat and draw the name of the winner of the discs. I'm just stuck at this point. I'm not concerned about finishing up the necklace ends, I just don't know if adding the bead will be too much for this necklace. What do you think?

If you win, I will need some way to contact you. A good way to contact me would be to leave me a message with your contact information on ETSY. Just send me a convo from there. I check ETSY several times a day. If you aren't a member of ETSY, it's free to become a member, and it only takes a few minutes to sign up. So, start thinking, and let me know what you think.
