The Jewelry Type Giveaway
’tis monday. which means it’s time for another crafty giveaway. and just because i can, i am going to start doing not one but two giveaways a week. and i have some amazing things lined up for you, so stay tuned. in fact, why not just subscribe to the blog, so you will always know what’s going on. you know, be kept in the loop.
anywho. this weeks giveaway comes from our very first return crafter. that’s right. elizabeth from KeysandMemories has been featured before. way back in october, and featured a super cool tie tack. this time around, we have a little something for the ladies.
this bracelet is made from black keys from a few different typewriter machines. they are celluloid and can get wet.
each key is appx 1/2″ or 15mm in size.
the bracelet includes all the number keys found on the machine and in the order they are laid out on the keyboard plus two function keys.
other facts: the bracelet is a solid silver tone disc and loop form appx 7.5” ( 19.1 cm ) in length with a foldover clasp. all items are made from vintage keys from the early 20th century and are never replicated.
now, you are likely wondering how one gets into making jewelry with typewriter keys. and this is what elizabeth had to say:
I stumbled on the typewriter key jewelry and was hooked. I love working with old stuff. My tastes run from vintage to eclectic and anything in between. I enjoy finding new uses for old objects and creating themed jewelry.
sounds good? well, here are the hoops [ie rules] that you must jump through in order to be eligible. and i do disqualify people if you don’t follow the rules.
+ post here with your favorite item from KeysandMemories.
if you would like an additional chance to win…
+ blog about the giveaway
+ come back and post a second entry with the link to the post.
now that last one is really important. i don’t always know that you are linking here. and if you don’t come back and leave the link, you don’t get the extra entry. and that is officially a bummer.
official jargon: contest ends on tueday, july 29 at midnight ET. winner will be announced and posted on prizey.fetch on wednesday, july 30th along with the next giveaway.
