Amma Gyan's Stunning Molded Leather Jewelry

Posted: 27 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PDT

Leather is sometimes used in jewelry making.  One amazing artisan is Ghanian born but UK based Amma Gyan. Her studding molded leather collection features lovely organic shapes which really highlights the natural qualities of the material.


Her inspiration clearly comes from nature as her motifs are botanical - flowers and leaves. She not only has the skill to hand cut, dye and finish the leather but she also has the right touch when it comes to adding the Swarovski crystal and pearl accents. Some of her designs are brushed with gold metallic paint for that extra indulgent look.

Her byline "Wear Me, Be You" is also clever as it plays on all her Me collections. Amma also makes leather purses and bags.

Winner of Preciosa-Ornela's Huge Bead Giveaway

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 03:33 PM PDT

I know there are tons of beadaholics out there and this was confirmed by last week's giveaway for a huge pile of Preciosa-Ornela beads.  There were well over 300 entries after allowing for the extra ones including several from "Anonymous"!  I am sure they were all different people, but please make sure you enter a first name at least.  Adding your email also helps me notify you if you happen to be a lucky winner!




One incredibly lucky winner will receive the above pile of beads - there is, alas, no color choice. So after assigning numbers to every eligible entry, I went over to random.org to use the random number generator.  The winning number was assigned to Maneki!  Congratulations!
