Butterfly Blog Hop Reveal and Giveaway

  Ups, I'm late for my own blog hop!!! Well, I'm still in time, but it's already evening of the reveal day. I've woken up with a bad headache and was not able to finish the blog post, but now I'm ok and let's the party begin!!!

  Just to remind you what's all about in few words: I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my polymer clay and beading friends, so I decided to host a blog hop on butterflies. The participants needed to create anything related to butterflies and post it today on their blogs.

  I'm currently experimenting a new technique with polymer clay and I'm still not really good at it ... I wanted to use it for this blog hop anyway. I' still have a long way to go to be happy with the result, but I'll show it to you ...



 I know ... there are many things I need to upgrade, but it still seems very interesting to me ...


And now ... let's take a trip to visit the blogs of all the creative ladies that joined me in this celebration:

1. Alenka (Pepita) --> you are here
 
A big thank you to all of you!!!


And now the giveaway part!!!

On 13th of April I will randomly chose:
a) between all the participants at the blog hop  
5 persons 
that will receive one of beads or cabochons made by me from polymer clay;
b) between all that will comment on my reveal blog post  
1 person 
that will receive a pair of earrings made by me.
The gifts are still a secret, I will reveal them when the winners will receive them.
Let's party and be happy,
Alenka

Shibori Ribbon Blog Hop

  Hello! Today is the day of  the Shibori Ribbon Blog Hop hosted by Tanya Goodwin of  A Work in Progress.  Tanya had some gorgeous Shibori ribbon pieces, which she decided to give to 6 beaders to play with - and I was one of those lucky winers!!!



  I've never seen a shibori ribbon before, it was a totaly new material for me, so I was hardly waiting to get my package in the mail. This is the piece I had to play with:




 Beautiful colors - but how to make it shine in a piece of jewelry? I've searched online and found so many fantastic embroidery pieces with the use of a shibori ribbon, but didn't have all the materials needed to try bead-embroidery.

  This weekend I've attender a polymer clay workshop with Julie Picarello and for one of the cabs I've made the first day I've used just the right color scheme to combine with the piece of shibori ribbon I've got. And that was when this brooch was "born":


 ... and from a different angle ... 


   The cab needs some buffing to become more shiny, but I'm quite happy with the result.

  Thank you, Tanya, it was really a nice blog hop, I enjoyed very much participating. I'm pretty sure I'll take some more shibori ribbon to create with!

Now please  visit the blogs of the other participants and  see what they have done with their ribbon:

It's here!!! Pepita 1st Blogoversary Blog Hop / Končno!!! Blog hop ob prvi obletnici mojega bloga

  I'm so happy to announce the BLOG HOP - the grand finale for celebrating the first blogoversary of this blog!!! I have to say the date of this reveal was not chosen randomly, but on purpose: August 11 was the date of my reveal for last year's Bead soup blog party, the main reason I've started to write a blog.
  Vesela sem, da lahko končno razglasim tale blog hop - veliki finale obeležitve moje prve obletnice tega bloga!!! Datum tega dogodka (razkritja) ni bil izbran naključno, ampak namenoma - 11. avgusta lani je bil namreč datum mojega razkritja izdelkov iz Bead Soup Blog partija, ki je v bistvu glavni razlog za to, da sem začela pisati blog.

  Thirteen jewelry creators have played with me and the components I've made from polymer clay using different techniques. 
  Trinajst izdelovalk nakita se mi je v tej igri pridružilo in iz različnih koščkov, ki sem jih izdelala iz polimerne gline, ustvarilo končne izdelke.

  Here are the components with the names of the person that received each:
  To so koščki z imeni posameznice, ki je vsakega dobila:



   You would say one is missing ... It's true, because Cynthia proposed to use the components she won in my last giveaway:
  Pravite, da eden manjka? Res je, Cynthia je namreč predlagala, da izdelke naredi iz tistih koščkov, ki jih je zadela v moji prejšnji nagradni igri:



  If you are interested in any of the components, just drop a line to my e-mail: pepita.handmade@yahoo.com - they can be made to order in any color combination, we can arrange everything. My Etsy shop is a work in progress and will be open soon, hope by the end of this month.
  Če vas zanima kakšen od mojih izdelkov, mi lahko pišete na e-mail: pepita.handmade@yahoo.com - izdelam jih lahko v kakšnikoli barvni kombinaciji in po vaših željah. 

   So let's go, now, and see what everybody has made!!! But don't forget to come back and read this post to the end as there is a surprise for my readers - a little GIVEAWAY!!!
  Zdaj pa se lahko "sprehodimo" po spodnjih blogih in si ogledamo, kaj je pravzaprav nastalo iz zgornjih koščkov!!! A ne pozabite se vrniti, na koncu te objave vas čaka NAGRADNA IGRA!!!  

Cynthia Machata

 ~ o ~

 And now, the GIVEAWAY!!!
Sedaj pa - NAGRADNA IGRA!!!

Cynthia Machata used all the components I've sent to her to make several pieces and she was so generous that proposed to me to have a giveaway here of two of her pieces, a bracelet and a necklace.
Cynthia Machata je uporabila kar vse koščke, ki sem ji jih poslala, in je predlagala, da lahko dva svoja izdelka podari v nagradni igri na mojem blogu - to sta zapestnica in verižica:

Zelo enostavno, kajne?
Zmagovalca bom izžrebala naslednjo nedeljo, 18. avgusta, okrog 12h.



   Thank you, ladies, very much!!! It was so fun that I'm thinking about repeating it each year!!! What do you think?
  Na koncu bi se rada zahvalila sodelujočim v tej moji igrici. Meni je bilo tako zabavno, da razmišljam o tem, da bi tak način praznovanja ponovila vsako leto. Kaj pravite?

  Be happy,
  Bodite veseli,
