What an interesting concept, I never win things like this and I don't make any of my own beads, but I thought I would say there are some gorgeous beads, wish I had the talent to make my own.

 

Would love to have my name added to the list.

Not fair, not Fair!! Wish I could join in! SULK! No...I understand there has to be restrictions...no one could afford postage international with all that gorgeous loot. You put some lovely things in it Janet....how generous. I somewhat(!) vicariously like to see who gets it next anyway

Amazing!
beautiful colours, shapes - really great job!

 

Beautiful boho piece! Love the use of your beads and the fiber with the crescent shape.

 

I'd love to win a date with this box filled with awesomeness! I'd promise to stock it with some of my amazing boro lampwork beads, some beautifully embossed brass pendants and lots of other fabulous beads and findings :) I can't wait to see where this traveling box of beads goes next!

Who wouldn't want to win this? Count me in!!

 

Sorry I missed the giveaway. Lovely things.

 

That necklace is drool-worthy! I love the colors, the texture - the shape of the focal! I love it all!

 

I love all you have cooked up with your soup. Nice job with the design.

 

The first version was cool, but the redone version is really lovely! I think a centerpiece that bold would have frozen me, but you did a great job with it!

 

Lovely necklace!I really like the color pallet and what you added to it was perfect. Such tallent. Soup-er job!
And a giveaway wow..sign me up if I'm not to late.

 

As I mentioned to you before, I love the redo! The original was nice too though! It was very textured and soft.

 

I have to say that I prefer the new piece. There is more chromatic contrast, nice fiber, nice beads and you can see that gorgeous focal. So good on take 2!
Ambra

 

I really thankful to you for this great read!! You did a very great job, keep it up.

 

just dropping by to say hey
