GORGEOUS HAND-BEADED AMULET BAG NECKLACE GIVEAWAY

"SPRINGTIME"
Gorgeous, hand-beaded amulet bag necklace
by
DEBSPARKLES

I am so thrilled to be hosting this exquisite, hand-beaded amulet bag from Debbie of DEBSPARKLES on Etsy. Debbie's creations are nothing short of fantastic! I know, as I recently purchased one of her beautifully designed amulet bags. The entire bag is designed from tiny seed beads, and the workmanship is truly remarkable!

START DATE: January 11, 2009

END DATE: February 11, 2009 - 12:00 Midnight CDT

OPEN: WORLDWIDE

VALUE: $25.00


PRIZE: 1 - Original designed, hand-beaded amulet bag necklace with clear quartz crystal in bag

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Leave a comment in this post.

2. Leave your EMAIL address in the comment or leave a link that allows me to get in contact with you, should you be the lucky winner of the delightful giveaway! PLEASE NOTE: Many of you are still not leaving a means of contacting you.

3. WINNER randomly selected from all entries submitted. WINNER will be notified by EMAIL ONLY, after the close of the giveaway. WINNER will have 5 days in which to send me their full shipping information. If WINNER does not reply within the given timeframe, I will have to select another WINNER from the remaining entries.

4. Once I have the WINNER'S shipping information, I will notify DEBBIE, and she will directly send you the amulet bag.



NOW A BIT ABOUT THE "SPRINGTIME" AMULET BAG NECKLACE:

The AMULET BAG NECKLACE, which I am calling "Springtime" is made of clear 11/0 seed beads.

SIZE: 1 1/2" by 1 3/4". I used branch fringing which hangs 5" at the longest middle point.

Each branch of the fringe is finished with clear light blue glass teardrop beadS. The flap of the bag has several bunches of the blue teardrops grouped around some green leaves, and has just a bit of fringing at the bottom of the flap. The neckchain is a continuous 26" that just slides over your head. And of course, there is a small clear quartz stone tucked inside the bag.

To see more of Debbie's exquisite creations be sure to treat yourself to a visit of her Etsy shop, DEBSPARKLES! If you'd like to learn more about this talented artist, click on the link Serenity Collections below, which is a feature I did on Debbie and her work.
