The Pull of The Shore
Do you feel it? The pull?
The yearning to bask in the sun light, sit on sand, hear the lull of the ocean, feel the sea lapping at your toes?
I feel it so strongly and have since this day.
This give-away includes a one of a kind patina-ted pendant, layered with ocean blue, verdigris and opal powder (one of my first experiments in layering patinas). It is paired perfectly with Sea Sediment Jasper roundels, I think they are also called Aqua Terra Jasper, a strip of pale taupe recycled sari silk, antiqued copper chain and a hand forged copper clasp.
Just leave a comment and make sure I can reach you through your blog (ie, have a blog!) and I will draw a name on Wed. the 14th.
Thank you for visiting me here, I truly enjoy your company.
Statistically, the first person to leave a comment NEVER wins, but I'm too excited to not enter this giveaway right now, so here I go...gambling with statistics. :)
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! It's truly lovely! The beach has been calling my name....but not any old beach...but an ocean beach! I can smell the salty air.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and Bead Happy!

GORGEOUS!! Put my name in the hat Shannon! Thanks for such a cool giveaway! I love this set of components!
ReplyDeleteOooo...What a lovely pendant! It does have the perfect beach feel...scalloped edged...the color...Oh and I'd love to have it! What a fabulous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! I've never been to the ocean, but your pendant is certainly beautiful enough to stir my imagination. I can almost feel the warm, salty breeze on my face :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
what a great give away! the ocean always has a pull on me......any time of year, even in the summer the ocean here is very cold,but it doesn't keep me from at least dipping my toes in now and then!

your patina work is beautiful, the colors amazing.
ReplyDeletelove this pendant, i'm in .
wish i was at the beach right now..
except for the tropical storm coming this way and Oh, yes, least we forget, BP..ggrr.
Such a beautiful pendant and everything just goes together perfectly. It's winter down here and unusually cold for us so a little bit ocean and sun would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd may your dreams come true!!! The water sounds good, but being that the temp has houvered around 100 and we don't have AC, I can't even fathom basking in the sun! This is a lovely lovely giveaway Shannon. The patinas are incredible:)
ReplyDeleteEnter me, Enter me. Vist my blog later today I am having a belated giveaway to celebrate my 400th sale.
ReplyDeleteThe pendant and beads are absolutely gorgeous! Love, love the pieces you are giving away! All of your pieces are fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give-away.

That is one gorgeous pendant, I would love to have it. I'm wondering if you had the Jasper already and tried to replicate it on the pendant, or you made the pendant and then realised the Jasper would go with it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have it packaged up there, makes me just want it all the more. I hear you about the water calling - sigh. (And my word verification is 'heation', I kid you not!)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win those beauties!

ReplyDeleteok, I have to have this beautiful selection!! I am putting my name in the hat...you are so generous, I mean I would have to keep this for myself if I made it...BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteYummsville! Living near the coast in So Cal means I have to resist the "pull" every damn day and go to my job instead.
ReplyDeleteIf I could just figure out a way that the kid and I didn't need, y'know, food and shelter, I could give in to the pull and not only go to the beach, but MAKE JEWELRY on the beach.
The perfect life...
Would love to be the lucky winnar and make some matching beads to turn this into a beautifull necklace
ReplyDeleteCool patinas! Put my name in. You are inspiring me to host a giveaway or maybe a destash!

As usual, your give away is gorgeous. I am going to my cottage next week - no beach but lots of lovely cool water and not so much to do...this pendant would help me maintain that vacation vibe when I am back at work.
