Blog Challenge- Balled Headpins from Gardanne Beads
Here's how it will work. I have 10 pairs of headpins. But these aren't regular glass headpins. If you scroll down and take a closer look at the ends of the wire, they have a balled end. Yep! An additional design challenge that will be fun to see how everyone will utilize them!
I'll pick 10 random commentors on the morning of Tuesday MARCH 6. I'll ship out all pairs to the winners and we'll make something with them and reveal the designs on our blogs with a little blog hop (yes you must have a blog) on April 7. 4 weeks should be a good amount of time, I hope.
I will take entries from any country. If non-US participants want to enter, they can do it at their own discretion. The blog hop will be April 7, and blog entries completed after that will be fine.
Below is the line up. Most of the headpins have drop shapes, and 2 sets have a pressed disc shape. You will receive a random pair.
Please leave one comment on this post. Please make sure I can contact you somehow if you are a winning participant.
Come back on Tuesday morning to see if you've been chosen!
Good luck to everyone!
I wanna play! I've never done a blog hop before, and these are soooo inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I'm intrigued by the idea that they have a balled end......hmmmmm, that definately would be a challenge. I'd love to play along.

ReplyDeleteGreat challenge Lorelei. Sorry to hear you've had trouble with International post though. I ship and buy internationally from the uk and am fortunate to have never encountered this problem a week seems the norm at the moment - usually a max of 2. Appreciate it's a problem for challenges so good luck - I look forward to seeing what your participants create.

Balled ends, that's different. I would like to play, I need to wake up my muse.
ReplyDeleteI shy away from pretty headpins because I'm too worried I'll ruin it while wrapping somehow, so I'd love a chance to overcome my fear. :D I'll throw my hat in the ring. :D

What an interesting challenge - and a bit of a daunting one! Even if I don't get chosen, I may try and snag a pair to work with. But, I really have to think in advance with these headpins. No room for much "whoopsie".
