A Curious Design GIVEAWAY
Here is the complete Wonderland mix included in the giveaway!
A distressed Alice scrabble tile by me :) "Alice:
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would
be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And
contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it
would. You see?"
Alice's blue dress chain by My ELEMENTS.
Silver plated ball headpins(some of my very favorite headpins to use!).
A shrinky dink hand colored charm by me :) Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
Cheshire cat strpied recycled sari silk from Hampton Artistic Yarns.
Cheshire Cat:
[singing] 'Twas brilig, and the slithy toves / Did
gyre and gimble in the wabe: / All mimsy were the borogroves, / And the
mome raths outgrabe."
"Drink Me" lampwork glass bottle with tag by me :)
"Alice:
Better read it first, for if one drinks much from a bottle marked
"Poison", it's almost certain to disagree with one sooner or later."
The Golden Afternoon Flowers(lucite and Czech glass). "You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, fot especially in the month of June."
March Hare and Mad Hatter colored rubber O's by My ELEMENTS.
Pewter mushroom charm. "One side of the mushroom will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter."
Painting the roses red lampwork glass flower by me :)
" [Alice:]
Yes, painting the roses red
[Two:] Not pink
[Three:] Not green
[Alice:] Not aquamarine
[All:] We're painting the roses red"
[Two:] Not pink
[Three:] Not green
[Alice:] Not aquamarine
[All:] We're painting the roses red"
Sterling silver tea pot and spoon toggle.
" Mad Hatter:
Would you like a little more tea?
Alice:
Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more.
March Hare:
Ah, you mean you can't very well take less.
Mad Hatter:
Yes. You can always take more than nothing."

I'll start out by saying that I'm both a follower of your blog as well as of your FB page. I'm just starting out as a hopper (not a participant) and I'll be back to let you know what I like about it after a little while! :)
I posted about the giveaway on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CraftyHopeJewelry)
I tweeted about the giveaway (I'm @CraftyHope)
Thank you for hosting such a fun design challenge & blog hop! I had a great time participating.
Also, your painted rose bead is very pretty!
I've made it through all the blogs that actually had a post for this challenge (there are two or three that don't seem to have anything up yet.) And, what I've liked most about this is how each person had their own take on this familiar story. How each of the designs differed so much! It really was inspiring for me.
You're very welcome Libellula Jewelry! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful time! Awww thanks about my bead :)
Hope, thank you so much for taking the time to not only help promote this giveaway, but give such a detailed comment :)
I love that about what our participants did as well! Lots of wonderfully creative people!

Hello! I've been a follower for a while. I love the flowers especially yours of course. I'd turn your Alice tile into a necklace for my friends little girl who is also Alice. Oh and I love all the ideas that come to mind when you think about Wonderland. As you've seen I had so many ideas I didn't have enough time to finish them all.
Thank you so much for joining us Lynda! Thanks so much :)

Hi, I feel badly to say who I liked best, but I must confess I had two favorites. First, I did love Staci's necklace with the sea glass and the swirly links. Those links really captured my fancy! My second favorite was Gingers, but I have to say all three. First, the caterpillar necklace was a great start. Then she took it a step further with that awesome keyhole component. And I think she totally embraced the spirit of the blog hop by growing and extending herself with the uncompleted necklace made with the microscope tile. She really won me with her progression. Bravo! I was sad to see some people didn't post. =( Hopefully more will eventually. I love your components, and hope to win. I also did post the blog hop on my blog to advertise. My email is listed there. --Diane V.
Thanks so much for hopping along with us Dragonfly Close :)
Yeah, it's a bummer everyone didn't get their designs posted.
Thanks so much!
