The cover alone is worth a peek inside this book. Erin and Lorelei are both talented jewelry artists, and I know this would be a great book to own. I have yet to use any fibers in my pieces so I would love to win this book and try a new medium.

First off, I love all of your work. There are so many talented clay artist out there. I would love to win this book for all the inspiration that is being shared by not only Lorelei and Erin but the artist that are featured in the book as well. I love the bohemian style and I am trying to get out of my more rigid formal style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I've always believed I was born out of time and should have been living in an artisan community in 19C Paris! After living a less than Bohemian life for 50 years I'm now trying to be a little less conventional and this book would be the perfect accompaniment to my journey. Oh and of course the authors are both fantastic designers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would be inspired by their creative use of materials!
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to seeing this book -- I love both authors' work and the pics I've seen so far look very exciting. I love working with leather and sari silk and other fibres and would find the tips and techniques in the book invaluable I'm sure! melissa_trudinger at yahoo dot com

Being unemployed for months now means I can't indulge in many things I normally would so winning this book would be amazing right now!

ReplyDeleteAs Julie said, thank you for the reminder to enter; super-super busy lately. All of the members' works shown are gorgeous. Thank you for running such a great site with terrific resources!
ReplyDeleteI love to mix materials, soft (silk) and hard (clay) to create both visual and tactile interest. I would love a copy of this book!
ReplyDeleteI know I would love the book because the jewelry is unusual and often whimsical. The pieces hint that there are romantic stories in their history.
ReplyDeleteI know I will love this book #1- because I got to peek inside and #2- my designs have been moving toward a bohemian / tribal style, and I am trying to add more fiber and cording. I could use their tips!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch talent all in one book. I work at Michaels Stores/Bead Instructor and have been looking/waiting for this book to come in. Better yet I would love to win it. What a thrill to own a book published by Lorelei and Erin. Way to go LADIES!!! Thanks so much for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book! I love Lorelei's and Erin's work and draw so much inspiration already from them, I'd love to see all work by the other artists featured in this book.

I love incorporating various and sundry materials into my artwork and this book would be such an inspiration! Besides, as a child of the 70's, the word "bohemian" always appeals to me! Can't wait for a peek into this book.
ReplyDeleteI am collecting pieces from many of the Beads of Clay Artists (love the Etsy collective shop so I can find you so easily), and I also love silk ribbons. The book would be a definite inspiration to me for all of these lovely pieces. I was tempted to buy it as an ebook, but I wanted to be able to hold the book and thumb through it often. Thanks for the chance to win one. Andrea
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to win a copy of this book! I believe it would be a great source of inspiration for me!. Thanks for the opportunity to win the book. :)
ReplyDeleteI would be ecstatic to win a copy of this book! I love Marsha Neal Studio Silks and I really didn't know what to do with her clay pieces.
ReplyDeleteI instantly fell in love with the use of her silks in Afternoon Tea and Ocean Love. I'm having a trunk show featuring her silks (along with a dozen or more Etsy artists) and now I have inspiration for how to use silk I won from Marsha Neal Studio for another blog posting. =D I agree with one of the other blog posts. The cover alone is inspirational.
I love unique pieces that aren't difficult to create, but take allot
of imagination. I sometimes get in a rut so this book would inspire all
kinds of unique creations of my own.
Thank You for this opportunity! Lena
I would really need this book.It is so inspirated and I have taken one ceramic cource. I need to be teach more.
ReplyDeleteKind regards
Kirsi Luostarinen
I just recently tried the Waxed Linen cording and would love to have a book that features different designs using it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book as I have never been SO inspired by any other jewellery artist such as Lorelei. I love the level of detail in her work and the fact that her creations evolve all the time, whilst retaining its special Lorelei traits (feminine, bold, often extravert, always absolutely beautiful and extremely innovative). She is such an inspiration to anyone who creates handmade jewellery.
ReplyDeleteI love that there seems to be a little story behind each piece as she uses lots of 'wordy' elements with many of the clay focals she uses. If you can't tell already, I would absolutely LOVE to win this prize!
I'm an avid follower of Lorelei's blog. That she is a part of this great book comes as no surprise to me. She always inspires, constantly surprises, and never disappoints. The information she imparts, along with ideas & handmade elements she shares, propels many of us to emulate her passion for making awesome jewelry. This book embodies all of that and I'd love to be a proud owner-how lucky would that be???
ReplyDeleteWould love this book because they use materials in unique ways...so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteFresh ideas and tips on using cord and lovely beads would be a great addition to my jewelry shelf.
I've been drooling over this book! Thanks for the giveway opportunity.

Well, Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to discover your blog, and learn more about ceramic beads! I have always gravitated to ceramic vessels and love to shop at art fairs for ceramic. So why not wear them, too! Lorelei Eurto is one of my favorite jewelry artists, with a very distinctive style. Any book she is involved in would be marvelous. I would love to win this book. Thanks.

I love the bohemian style and although I have been following Lorelei for quite some time now, I find myself amazed at her work each and every time. The use of material, color and texture is phenomenal. It would be fantastic to win this book!
