Visit my Etsy store at http://www.shaterra.etsy.com/. Peruse my listings in the ceramic pendants section. One listing will contain a secret phrase. I will be changing the phrase and the listing place from time to time. Email me the secret phrase. Once a week I will draw a name to win 2 free pendants from my store. You agree to have your name added to my email list for advance notice of sales and specials. I will draw a winner starting 5/22/11 and for the next 4 weeks.Limit 1 entry per person per week. Good Luck!

I have been having fun combining my ceramics, semi-precious stones, and beads with wire to create ready to wear pieces. Here is a picture of a pendant I made with a ceramic base that I made especially for wire wrapping. I put a hole in the center and 2 on the sides. The center flower is an antique brass flower shape with a Czech glass flower bud in the center. I do these designs free form. What fun!

Beads 2011

I've been told some? one? of my pieces are in the Beads 2011 issue.  I haven't received either the magazine or my pieces back in the mail, and I haven't been able to find the magazine, though I've checked Hobby Lobby, JoAnn and Walden Books!  It will be a nice when I finally see it...
