LJWood Wire Wrapped Earring Giveaway Ends 1/30/2011

This week's Stunning Giveaway is from Etsy Shop LJWood!!

You could win this FABULOUS pair of Handmade Sterling Silver Petite Heart Earrings with Wire Wrapped Beading - Just in time for Valentine's Day!!

Before we get into all the details about how you can win these gorgeous earrings get to know Leslie, the creative mind behind LJWood! You are most certainly going to want to be her friend and own some of her work after this!

Leslie is a former teacher and a stay at home mom of two lovely little ones ages 1 & 7. Her oldest has jumped right into the big brother roll who always looks out for his little sister. Leslie's husband is also a teacher and is a huge supporter of her jewelry design venture. Her original passion is painting portraits, which she still enjoys. Coming from a family of artists it seems as though there are no limits for her creativity!

I am a huge fan of this "All You Need is Love" necklace!

Leslie discovered her passion and skill for wire wrapped jewelry design and beading after several years of dabbling. Starting off simple she found variation through color combination and bead choice. Her wire manipulation pieces were inspired by the work she saw other artists producing on Etsy, which is how Leslie got hooked! She is finding ways to incorporate her passion for drawing and design into her work and hopes to extend her collection. (I hope so too!)

Loving the simplicity in these sterling silver earrings!

Currently, Leslie is loving yellows, reds, and orange hues. "I do have to admit, though, that I am fickle when it comes to picking a favorite color because I love them all." (You said it sister!)

What great textures on this copper heart pendant.

"I find inspiration from everything round me! My family really inspires me because they are so supportive. Well, my one year old isn't so supportive when she tries to eat my beads...ha! ;)"
Leslie is really into hearts right now - which is just great timing with Valentine's Day around the corner! Simply put, she is inspired by love, driven by the thrill of creation and the joy that comes with sharing her work with others.

Monogrammed sterling silver earrings - Yes, Please.

Leslie thinks Etsy is wonderful! She loves have the opportunity to share her passion with others and interact with other artists. Meeting wonderful, artistic people who have turned into friends is one of her favorite Etsy perks!

Perfect to wear year round - Love this Love Pendant!

When asked to share her advice for other Etsy sellers Leslie responded with - "... enjoy your craft and don't take it for granted!"
