Just a little summertime fun...


Soooo...it's way overdue, but how about a little giveaway this week to get ready for summer. I made a darling bracelet with some artisan hammered copper rings and clasp I got from Holly at Blind Cave Fish awhile ago, and put them together with some reactive glass beads from Tiffany McCoy--a seashell, of course and a heart, hence the name Sweetheart Bay (there's also a beautiful vintage swarovski long teardrop charm as well).
Okay, here's the deal, to be entered into the drawing for the bracelet, all you have to do is go look thru my jewelryartists Scuba Show gallery (that shouldn't be too painful!) and come back here, post a comment and tell me which design you like the best. http://www.jewelryartists.org/Gal3323_Scuba_Dooby_Doo_09.asp
I'll do the drawing next Thursday, since I may be leaving town on Friday and want to make sure I take care of it before I leave. Have fun and I hope you win!
p.s. I'm having a Memorial Day Weekend Sale in my esty store thru Monday with 20% off of everything--check it out! http://www.rickitic.etsy.com/

Sailing to Mykonos beautiful colors and Paradise Cove cause it's just so classy looking!!! It's all beautiful!!

Hearts of Glass said...

I love them all! This is going to be a great show for you - you're so good with the oceanic theme! My favorite was Kennebunkport... The Manuela Wutschke and Judy Carlson beads together are amazing, and the chunky Karen silver pushes it over the top. Just stunning!

Wish you'd make more earrings! I love those lemon drop ones you made!

Thank you meme (Beth?) Those colors ARE fun!
Tiffany M, could it be you know the artist and how those might be her last beads for awhile ('cause you're very preggers and the baby comes next week!!!!woohoo)
Vicki, I loved that color combo too!
Thank you Debbie, I love Judy's fish and big sand dollars--glad you liked them!
Heather--I love it when two sets of beads come together like that when I'm scouring my bead box--one of those 'duh' moments that the light goes on!
Thanks Cindy, those are your colors...I still owe you a pair of onyx earrings--I'll try to get that done this week! hugz back Sis!

One? One?! Choosing just one is sooo hard. They are all lovely, but my choice is "Paradise Cove."

(Dont' put my name in the drawing since I won last time. Lucky me! I want someone else to experience that joy, for sure.)

Laura said...

Of course, I love them all!!! You know I'm a huge fan of your work Rickie!!! First, I thought my fave was California Dreaming, it's so bright and cheery, but I was won over by Paradise Cove - so elegant and classy! You do such a great job, and I love how you come up with such great names for your pieces!!

Rickie said...

Thanks Elizabeth and Laura!

Mandy said...

My personal favorite is the santorini necklace. I love the colors, it is very California :)

Unknown said...

I've been a fan of your jewelry for a long time...and I just love all of the ocean themed pieces, so picking one favorite was really hard! I chose Thunder Bay, with Sailing to Mykonos a very close second. Love the shells and vivid colors!

Kris said...

They are all so beautiful and all so unique, but I think Paradise Cove is my favorite.

Marion said...

Paradise Cove is beautiful. I love Judy's beads and your designs are always fresh and inspiring!

Catch a Falling Starfish I love for its simplicity---Low Tide in Carmel and Surfin' Safari are also favs. Thank you!
