Her name is Sonora Sunrise. Named after the stone that is the center of this lacy design.
Rich in shape and texture, a filigree fantasy! All metal components, save the chain have been hand formed by me. One at a time. Formed with patience and joy...
This stone hails from Sonora, Mexico by way of lapidary artist Terry Williams. It has only a hint of the green typically found mixed with the red of Sonora Sunrise stones. A beautiful mixture of deep red and orange it is a beautiful stone.
Adjustable from 16" to 22", the sterling textured chain closes with a hand crafted hook clasp. I have attached faceted cuts of carnelian beads to add a pop of color to the chain as well.
The back features a hand crafted sun, and the name of the piece, along with my initials and a sterling hallmark. :)
I made this necklace especially for this giveaway. I wanted it to be something really special, and I think I've succeeded!
I have fabulous fans, followers, friends, and customers. I appreciate all the support you give me throughout the year. And I don't just mean when you purchase something from me. I appreciate the hearts in my Etsy shop, the comments on my blog, when you "like" something I post on FaceBook. I appreciate the comments on my Flickr photos, and when you come to visit me at my show, even if you just stop by to say Hi.
I appreciate having you all along for the ride as I continue on my path. So, here are the rules:
1. If you purchased something from me in the months of November and December, you are automatically entered in the drawing.
2. If you are a current FaceBook follower, you are automatically entered.
Now here's what you can do to earn extra entries:
3. Become a follower of this blog.
4. "Like" my business page on FaceBook.
5. Add me as a contact on Flickr.
6. Add my shop as a favorite on Etsy.
7. Suggest my page to your friends on FaceBook. You as well as your friend will receive an extra entry for the drawing. (email me with the names of your friends so I know to give you the extra entries!)
8. Post this drawing on your blog, twitter, facebook, etc... for extra entries. (leave a separate comment for each time you post this drawing!)
And...I think that's it!! Please leave me a separate comment for each action. This will make it easier to choose the winner by a random generator.
This giveaway will end on December 18 at midnight CST. This will give me time to get this beauty in the mail to you. Just in time to receive a wonderful gift for the Holidays!!!
