Come Vote For My Glass Entry, Skylar the Bird

Our Lampwork Etc. Street Team is hosting our January Challenge. It's for beads that make you think positively or make you happy.

There's quite a wonderful array, and plenty to choose from. I'm hoping that you will mosey over there and vote for the bead of your choice. Of course I always love your votes, but I'd be just as thrilled if you found another favorite or even voted for someone with fewer votes to even things up a bit.

This is Skylar the technicolor bird- my entry, who is currently living in my Etsy shop. Skylar is based on a heart shape before her extra feathers are added. I think I made her body from Check Glass, and the feathers from Moretti and her cheeks of course from my favorite cheek color, CIM's Gelly Pink. Love that pink. And if you look carefully at the wings, I used various shades of transparents and then blended them together, which I do for fins too. I think Skylar is even prettier in person.

Don't forget to vote and hope your Sunday is wonderful.

Rock the Vote for Studio Marcy and Other Holiday Beads

Our Lampwork Etc. Street Team (LEST) Holiday / Winter Challenge voting has just started and I invite you to come join in the merriment.

There are 13 wonderful submissions- some are focals and some are bead sets. All of them are connected to Etsy lampwork bead shops.

So come by here, and be sure to scroll down for the photos of the beads to vote for your favorite. If you are undecided, my elf and I would love your vote.

And if you want a quick search for LEST team members on etsy, just type "LEST team" into the handmade search and it will bring up this page. I can always be found in my shop at http://www.Studiomarcy.etsy.com.

I know some of my readers also have beads in this contest. Feel free to comment and mention which bead is yours in the contest and why not add its url if it's for sale in your Etsy shop too?
