I made one final piece to end out the month. I was inspired by Molly Schaller's necklace tutorial in the Fall 2010 Stringing magazine, but changed it up a bit. I kept the wood, but that's about all. On one side perches a green polymer clay bird by Barbara, capped with lampwork disks, and on the other, a cluster of glass flowers. Gunmetal chain keeps the rest simple.
And just for YOU, my awesome readers, Barbara has generously donated a set of beads from her "Whisper" collection.
You want 'em, don't you? Well, here's how you get them!
1) Favorite Barbara's blog, http://secondsurf.blogspot.com/ for one point.
2) Favorite my blog for one point (or tell a friend they should!) :-)
3) Post about this giveaway on your own blog for one point.
Then comment and tell me what you did!
The winner will be announced in a week, Saturday September 4th.
Good luck! And thank you, Barbara, for being my inaugural Cup of Bead Soup Featured Artist!

I love the necklace, too, Lori. Very wearable. Boy would I love to win those things! I think I have "favorited" you (to make up a word) but I will double check. It will be under an e-mail that starts with "kat" as we can't both have our addresses on the blog.
Going to go check out Barbara right now!
Hugs,
Suz
I don't know how to favorite blogs but I do follow both does that count?
I love the necklace especially how you capped the bird with the lampwork beads. I have some of those floating around that I love and have no idea how to use them in a design and you have given me some inspiration!
Woo hoo - followed her blog, already follow yours!
Lori, I favorited her blog! Love her owls!
Based om your previous post about Floridity, I actually bought a piece from the Whisper Collection - Hugs and Kisses Focal. I got it in the mail yesterday and was just giddy! Love it.
Thanks for introducimg me to her!

I loooove those beads. Just the other days I marked them as favourites on Etsy. I hope to win them of course. Or if I don't I hope to buy them when I get into some new money.
Anyway, I have:
1. Marked second surf as a favourite (I hope it means the same as becomming a follower), Although I thought I actually already was.
2. I am already a follower of your blog, and it is one of my favourites, big time.
3. I have posted on my own blog about this great give away.
So as you understand I want 3 points.
And your necklace is so super duper nice!
I am now a follower of your blog and also a follower of Barbara's blog. I love those beads! sooo cool.

also, i haven't gotten the new DG book yet, The Exile, but i heard about it from her blog. i'm not sure if i'll like it because it makes me worried that Jamie won't be like he is in my mind, you know? but i can't wait all the same, to love it or not love it. lol
hope you're doing well. :)
