I want to celebrate. <\/span> My blog redesign is -finally- complete!\u00a0 Thank you for stopping by through all of the gradual changes…sweet bead studio {the blog} has many new features and I’d like to let you know who I have to thank.<\/p>\n

The great graphics you see here were created by the talented Sara Duckett of Sadie Olive<\/a>.\u00a0 I was hoping for a modern yet vintage feel and she made it happen.\u00a0 If you visit her site you’ll be amazed at the mood you’ll feel immediately; her photography is incredible and her blog is one that just draws you in.\u00a0 Also I owe so<\/em> much to Andrea of Mystic Computing<\/a>.\u00a0 She is a wordpress pro.\u00a0 The customized theme you see here is all her handiwork.\u00a0 If you’d like to find out more about wordpress, or need help developing a blog that really reflects your style, you’ll want to contact Andrea asap.\u00a0 I can’t say enough about her expertise.\u00a0 I was introduced to Andrea by Jeanette<\/a> (check out her redesigned blog as well!), and the 3 of us enjoyed a\u00a0 girl’s night out this week ….blog talk, jewelry talk, and everything from feng shui to where we’ll be in a year. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now on to the the Give Away!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To thank you for visiting, there are THREE little treasures that you’ll have the opportunity to win!\u00a0 I’ll be picking THREE winners<\/span>!<\/p>\n

If you design jewelry, you’ll love this….first up is a Small Embossing Hammer from master silversmith, Bill Fretz.\u00a0 This hammer is courtesy of fundametals.net<\/a>, the<\/em> place to shop for wire and metal supplies.\u00a0 Fretz hammers are top of the line and made from hand-polished stainless steel and smooth rosewood handles.\u00a0 This is a great hammer for texturizing and adding dimples to metal.\u00a0 I know I have it\u00a0 on my wishlist!\"fretzhammerbloggiveaway1\"<\/p>\n

The second item in the give away is one of my new favorites to create, a mixed metal stamped pendant.\u00a0 The “Joy” pendant is made from brass and copper sheet metal that has been stamped, textured and oxidized.\u00a0 The pendant includes sterling silver wire stitching detail and hangs from a sterling ball chain.\u00a0 This piece is intentionally rustic, and that little brass heart tends to lean to right…it has a mind of it’s own. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And look!\u00a0 You can also win this stamped copper, wirework and lampwork bracelet.\u00a0 “Live, Laugh, Love” has been hand stamped in copper sheet and linked with organic-style beads.\u00a0 The silvered ivory and copper lampwork beads were created by the mother-daughter team, Hoss of Beads.<\/p>\n
