Custom Jewelry Giveaway

Posted by: Confessions From A Work-At-Home Mom

I've got an excellent giveaway for everyone today. It comes not only from one of my readers, but from one of my friends -- as in, someone I know in real life! Not only do I know the artist behind Tudor Rose Designs, I know her well; we went to school together for more than a decade as children. When she opened her new Etsy shop, I BEGGED her to let me introduce her creations to all of you. So, here she is in her own words:

Tudor Rose Designs was a bit of a whim. I’ve always loved the look and feel of polymer clay objects and decided I wanted to start working with it on my own. Jewelry, specifically pendants, seemed like the best place to start as a novice. I chose the name of my shop based on my love of history and the Tudors and the women of that era (whom I consider early feminists), and while my initial plan was to create pendants inspired by the strong female figures of that time period, I was unprepared for the explosion of ideas that would come and now also create pieces inspired by some of my favorite movies and books (I am a librarian, after all!) I like my pendants like I like my art: more abstract, less exact. But the Yellow Brick Road and forthcoming Twilight-themed pendants are very literal in design and I have no doubt there will be more like them in the future. In the meantime, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, which is creating beautiful handcrafted polymer clay pendants, learning the ins and outs of running an Etsy business, and, most importantly, having fun!

Here's a sample of her work:

(Clockwise from top left: Large Scarlett O’Hara Twelve Oaks Dress Pendant ($14), Small Yellow Brick Road Pendant ($6), Small Silver Heart Jane Seymour Pendant ($6), Large Blue Anne Boleyn Pendant ($12), Slytherin Harry Potter Pendant ($10), Small Girl Who Played With Fire Pendant ($8))
WIN IT!

One pendant of your choice from the Tudor Rose Designs Etsy shop, along with a black cord -- up to a $16.50 value!

I am LOVING the heart pendant (the red/silver one, the Jane Seymour one). Might just have to buy it if I don't win-- y'know, when I start getting a paycheck again and all. :-)
