Custom Order Pendant Contest!

by Cristina Hurley of Cristina Hurley Jewelry Design

Designing and making jewelry for myself and my shop is really fun, but what really gets my creative juices flowing is making custom orders. Since I opened last year, I have had the opportunity to do a lot of custom orders for some really nice clients, and working closely with them and seeing the final results is really thrilling.

Since I enjoy it so much, I figured, why not do a custom order contest! Three people will win a custom silhouette pendant made by me. It's fun and easy, just tell me what you would like your silhouette pendant to look like!

All the information and rules can be found here:


I love all the ideas people come up with for jewelry, and I would love to know yours. Some of my most inspired pieces have been custom orders!

Good luck!

Know your Ceramic Artist - a little contest

by Sharon Fischer Stray Notions

Looking for a pretty bowl for some berries recently turned up these two and have inspired a little game and giveaway here and on my own blog. I purchased these around 20 years ago from an up and coming young ceramic artist who in the intervening years has made his/her name in the ceramic world: whose work is in international collections and who is often listed as a mentor/teacher by others. In short, it is unlikely that I would be able to own any current work by this artist.

So the question is can you guess whose work this is? I will be posting hints on my own blog (at least 3 or until we have a winner). The prize will be $5 to use to purchase something useful from Karen Mahoney's (one of Boston Handmade's ceramics artists) shop, because I still want to support artists and "spread the pretty around" in whatever small ways I can afford.
