The winner of an autographed copy of Metalworking 101 for Beaders by Candie Cooper (read my "review" of this wonderful book here) is:
Sharyn Sowell! I think it's really fun that Sharyn is a paper cutter (I have some of her work and it's fantastic) and now she's interested in learning to cut metal... I am soooo looking forward to seeing what she does with it!
The four winners of the last four hard copies of my book, One Bead at a Time, are:
#1 - Madonna (Front Range Stitches) in Colorado embroiders with thread in many techniques. I enjoyed scrolling through her blog to see her many hand-stitched creations. I didn't see beads or bead embroidery, so maybe it's perfect that she's one of the winners.
#2 - Morwyn (AnotherCountry BeadWorks) in Albuquerque is absolutely no stranger to bead embroidery. I first fell in love with Morwyn's work when she participated in the first year of the Bead Journal Project. Later, so smitten was I, that I went to her etsy shop and bought one of her beautiful beaded boxes!
#3 - Dees (W.I.P. Work in Progress) in the Netherlands is also no stranger to bead embroidery or working improvisationally! As a participant in the Bead Journal Project for two years, Dees' beading impresses and inspires me more and more. I'm honored to gift her with my book!
#4 - Marsha, is the final selection of the random number generator. She commented anonymously saying, "Oh how I want to get back to beading, still have a stash, and your book looks like the one to do it with." Sounds like she's a great choice! Note to Marsha: Please contact me (robin at robinatkins dot com)... the email address you gave in the comment is not working.
Thanks to everyone (49 + 128) who entered the two drawings. Your wonderful comments were uplifting and kind! I WISH I had many more books to give away... At least, if you didn't win the drawing for One Bead at a Time, you can download it as an ebook for free, here. If you get a bandwidth problem message, it means too many are downloading at the same time... just try again at a later time.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm swooning! Waited to write until I got the book. It's in my hands now and WOW. It's a stunner!!! Thank you enormously, Robin, I have never won anything in my life and this is such a splendid gift. Heartfelt thanks, I hardly know what to say. THANK YOU is so inadequate, so please know how grateful I am. Thanks, thanks, thanks for the inspiration and the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteDear Robin, I am reading your blog for years now. I appreciate your work and your knowledge you share here very much. I am ashamed of the fact that I have never written a comment, that I have never told you how much I admire you. But today I say a great THANK YOU. When you made your book available online, I immediately downloaded, printed and read it. And I worked a piece, as you recommend, completely following my intuition, just one bead after the other. I love the process. Thank you so much. (Just in case you would like to have a look: http://textileexplorations.blogspot.com/2010/06/intuitive-beading.html)
