Giveaway #1

Weekend Giveaway

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be giving away a few items. These items were destined for my etsy shop but because of some small flaw or imperfection I just don't feel good about selling them. There is nothing structurally wrong with these pieces, there not going to fall apart or anything. They just don't pass my quality control to be sold. So, instead of just keeping them in a drawer somewhere I'm going to give them away. The way I'm going to do it is pretty simple, just leave a comment in this post and you'll be entered to win it. This giveaway will also be sponsored on a few other blogs. My Sisters blog, and Moorea's blog. Feel free to check out their blogs and also have a chance to enter two more times to win by leaving a comment on their blog. You have through Sunday to enter. All the names will be collected and a winner will be chosen randomly and announced Monday morning. Good luck.

Here is the item I'm giving away in this weeks giveaway.

Spindle Motor Pendant.


This pendant is a reclaimed spindle motor from an old hard drive. It has been set inside polyester resin and polished smooth. The sides have been rounded giving a lens effect. Its roughly 1.25 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall and .5 inches thick. It hangs from a 20 inch waxed cotton cord and clasps with a hand made sterling s-hook.


The flaw. The copper tube from which the piece hangs from shifted while the resin was being poured and is crooked.


Interested in acquiring this piece? Leave a comment for a chance to win.

If you don't end up winning go to my etsy shop where I have another piece similar to this one for sale.

  3. Ian, I think you might be the only person who would notice that it wasn't perfectly symmetrical.

  4. Ian, in my mind it is not flawed but a piece of treasured history from a wonderfully talented nephew! I would be honored to own any of your art pieces. Aunt Julie
