GY 105 - Luet

At laaast... I had a new design for the gifts :) 

Ritukám, Pencio, thank you for the patience :P (and for the photos...I packed them as they were ready immediately and I totally forgot about to take some photos). I hope you like them...

Both ring has the same design, but made with a bit different beads. Square sw (no metal setting...), 5mm bicones, 4mm bicones, 6/4 donuts, 4/3 donust, 3/2 donuts, 6 mm sp cut beads, 15/0 seed beads, 10/0 delicas, 4mm and 3 mm firepolished beads.

I made one more: the centerpiece in this is a 14mm rivoli, and I replaced the 15/0 beads with 11/0 delicas.

... and the winner is...

My "assistant" - Lili -enjoyed the lottery so much that she wanted another draw... (If anyone can tell me why I can´t upload mpeg recently, let me know... I made video of the second draw but I can not upload it... but here is an external link to it if you want to see :) )

So the winners are:

Congratulations :)

Birthday present to you!

Few minutes ago I noticed that my blog will have its 2nd anniversary this Friday :)

So it is time for a little celebration :P But this time I will give the present to you! Unfortunately I can not give present to all of you so let me invite you to a little contest.

Don´t worry, the only thing you have to do is the following:

Leave a comment with your name, site/blog address and a contact data (e-mail, blog address...) where I can find you and leave you a message if you win (I understand if you don´t want your e-mail address go public...you can send it to me by e-mail if you want...)

That´s all. No, you don´t have to post this on your blog (though I won´t oppose :D ).

And of course you want to know what the gift will be.... It´s been quite a while since I last made any ring. So I will make for you a surprise-ring :) 

And about the deadline: I accept the comments until saturday (26th September) midnight CET. Sunday my daugthers will help me to choose the winner by lot :)

Well, good luck :)
