Well, here it is, finally! It is a little late, but I hope you like this month's blog giveaway prize. It is a collaborative effort between me and my friend, the fabulously talented Laurel Steven. Laurel created these gorgeous carved polymer clay barrel beads, and I added an ethnic themed pendant featuring a vintage Hawaiian Tapa Cloth fabric pattern on a background of black clay which I embossed with a basketweave texture stamp; and apple jasper and blue pearl jasper beads and copper accents.
If you would like a chance to win this necklace, please leave a comment at the end of this post and let us know how you like the necklace, and next Monday, May 9th, I'll draw a winner using a random number generator. No purchase is necessary. If you do not have email enabled on your blog, please add your email address in your comment so I'll know how to contact you if you are the winner.
Thanks for playing along, and please visit Laurel's shop and check out more of her beautiful work! Here are a few of my favorites.
Thank you, too, Laurel, for helping me out on the giveaway this month!

All kidding aside, I do think that the two of you complement each other's styles beautifully--I have always been in love with Laurel's sculptural approach, and combining that with your meticulous transfers and color sense is a heavenly combo.
