Another heart bead giveaway

I am having a giveaway on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bead-Up-A-Storm/136005923088931?ref=hl 

Here the bead that's up for grabs!




It has sparkling inclusions of dichroic stringer and a wrap of silvered ivory with little spots of fine silver.  The winner can choose whether they'd like it made into a pendant or not.

Drawing will take place on 15th March. All you need to do is head over to my FB page, like it and post a comment in the giveaway thread.  Entries on FB only this time.

Good luck!

Another hare to share

I can't resist showing off more of my husband's carving.  This leaping hare was carved into a piece of oak floorboard - an offcut he had.

I love it and hope you do, too.  One thing you won't be able to appreciate is how gorgeously tactile it is.  It's beautifully smooth and very strokeable.
He is still undecided about whether to gild the moon - we've looked at silver leaf, but gold leaf looks even better - a wonderful harvest moon glow.

Anyway - enough wittering on from me, here it is!
