UPDATE 2/24/2015. I will no longer be sending goldstones out, as we are a little bit more than a month from the reveal. Keep checking back, I may host another blog hop soon!
I've got the winter blues. I also have an excess of blue goldstone donuts. Blue goldstone is a synthetic stone made of glass and tiny crystals of copper, dark midnight blue in color with a deep-space mysterious sparkle. To break-up the cold gray days of winter, and spread the joy I feel gazing into their twinkling expanse, I thought I'd have a little blog hop. I want people to use these man-made beauties to summon creativity and rise up against winter's oppression. For those interested, please leave a comment below (with a way for me to reach you). You will be sent some blue goldstone donuts, completely free! Your mission is to make something (anything) using at least one of the beads you are sent. Post your creation on your blog March 28, 2015. I'm hoping for around a dozen folks, but am flexible. Having never actually done this before I'm just tossing it out to see what happens. I'm limited to shipping inside the United States (sorry creative people not in the US).
I am certainly in! This has such a strong van Gogh pull for me.
ReplyDeleteWe were on the lake one night this Fall and the night was so clear, the reflection of the stars on the water made it look like the stars were rising up from the bottom of the lake. It was magic. And it was a warmer time :-)
