Day One -- BAO Welcomes Spring Sale Giveaway!
The members of Bead Art Originals love giveaways! (You may remember our hugely popular Twelve Days of Holiday Giveaways back in December.)
Well, we're doing it again!
This time we're going to be doing a full week's worth of giveaways to coincide with the Bead Art Originals Welcomes Spring Sale. Bead Art Originals members have once again been very generous with their donations, so we'll be having seven separate giveaways during this week. And you will be eligible to enter into every single one of those drawings.
For Day One of the BAO Welcomes Spring Giveaways we'd like you to visit the Bead Art Gifts Blog, where we showcase some of our special pieces, and find the piece that most speaks to you of spring.
Then, leave a comment on this blog post between now and midnight Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday, April 14, including:
1. which Gift Guide creation speaks to you of spring and
2. a way for us to contact you (your Etsy shop name or your email address) if you win.
On Wednesday, April 15, we will use a random number generator to select the winner of this beautiful bracelet created by Miriam (CieloDesign).

Gosh - they're all so great, but I think the Spring Fling Earring Pair are the most "springy" to me...The bright colors and the cute little flowers just remind me of happy spring days :o)
the sizzle lampwork bead represents it best, i think.

the colours are lovely, and it looks like a flower in full bloom! very pretty.

Everything is beautiful, but I love the citrus medallions peyote cuff. Those bright colors scream spring to me!

Much as I love everything Malodora has ever done; perfect as the spring leaf necklace is, and much as it speaks to my work...
The turqouise crackle is the exact image of a spring sunset through the still-budding branches of the trees. It makes me look for fireflies and smell mountain laurels blossoms. It has my vote!

Hrm... I'd go for the Fire Within bangle. I love bright and cheery pieces in the spring!

Wow, those are amazing! How am I supposed to pick just one? Since I do, it has to be the Spring Fling Earring pair by Ginnovations, one of my fave lampworkers!
http://dogmawglass.etsy.com
Spring is pink and flowers, of course. So, my favorite is the Beadwoven Bracelet w/flower button. Sweeeet!

Oh wow! They are all so great but the one that spoke to me the most was Bronze and Raspberry Beadwoven Bracelet

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful set of creations!! It is sooo hard to choose just one. I have a list 7 items long. Between Naftali's turquoise blue crackle neckle to Sandree's oh yeah, all of her's!! to...the list goes on and on.
I think my absolute favorite, shouting spring creation is the butterscotch delight pendant by ginnovations.

So many lovely pieces, but the one that speaks the most to me about spring is the "springtime patchwork bracelet", which has woven in it all the colours I consider spring.

Everything is amazing, but since I have to choose one thing, I'll go with the Turquoise Blue Crackle Necklace by Naftali. The colors remind of spring skies, whether rainy or calm.
danunepthys(at)hotmail(dot)com
oooooh, I must go with "Pinks and Greens - a Recycled Satchel" by TheJadeDog....YUM...those are spring, spring, spring colors to me!

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! There were so many pretty items but the one that most reminded me of Spring was the Lush Leafy Necklace because the leaves have started to sprout on trees and the grass is turning to green :)
The bracelet giveaway is also close to what speaks to me of Spring because of its beautiful green/springy colored beads. Thank you!

The most spring like to me is the Daisy Flower Bead. That's just because I love flowers. tlarue77484 @ sbglobal.net

This past Thursday, the season's first real warm spell slipped into our town. My family celebrated by lying on our backs in the park and watching the clouds drift through the late afternoon twilight. It's still a bit too early for buds on the trees, so the view we had of the sky through the branches looked almost exactly like this gorgeous necklace from Naftali:

Naftali's piece is simple and elegant reminding me of Monet's Water Lily's and the colors of spring being refleted in a pond.

Hmm - the lovely prize bracelet is like the essence of Spring! And I really adore the EarthTones Tag Collar - but it reminds me more of Autumn... so...
I'm also crazy about the Turquoise Blue Crackle which reminds me of EARLY Spring - like right now - when the trees are still mostly bare but the blue skies with shades of pink still peeks through the branches...
And the promise of spring is everywhere!
I think the sizzle lampwork bead works best for a spring gift guide. It's so fresh and sweet!

Wow, the designs I saw today take beading to a whole new level! I am truly wow'd by all the stunning designs! The meticulous beadwork that goes into creating these jewelry works of art is amazing! There were several pieces that reminded me of all that I love about Spring, so many pretty colors that are so cheerful! And the one piece that really caught my eye and screamed out Spring to me is the TROPICAL CHIC SUNSET - CHOKER. I just adore this necklace! It is a little sassy and flirty, it is most definitely feminine and you can wear it with your most casual summer clothes or it can easily be worn with your favorite dressy sun dresses! How cool is that?! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.
