Lucky me - again!

Look what I won over at A Little Fur in the Paint where the lovely Anne, who is an extremely talented polymer clay artist and watercolourist/linoprint maker was having a tutorial (you can find it here ) on how she makes her lovely brooches and a giveaway.  I always thought I wasn't a 'lucky' person - well, lucky in lots of ways, but not lucky in winning things like the lottery. However, since starting my blog, I have entered lots of giveaways and have won a lovely selection of things. 
I love blogland for being able to meet (albeit virtually) so many creative people who share an interest (or two) and for the way that there is always someone out there who can help with any little creative challenges you may be experiencing, or give you inspiration for a new project.
(While I'm musing... I'm not exactly sure I believe in 'lucky' or 'unlucky' people - it is more about making the most of opportunities that come your way. If you enter enough giveaways, the chances are that you will win something at some point.)
Anyway, I digress.
The brooch is a mini work of art, incorporating perfectly formed roses, pearls and crystals and is beautifully finished off.
Even the back is lovely.  So a HUGE thank you to Anne, for your generosity and your skill.  I shall treasure this brooch.

  1. What a lovely thing to own. I always think that bloggers are such kind people - even I have won things and I don't even blog!

      Thank you - yes, it is really pretty. Anne is a very skilled polymer clay artist - she also makes the most beautiful little fairy houses with all kinds of little details.
      It is amazing what polymer clay can do!
