I Won A Lariat

About 2 weeks ago when I was cruising around the forums, I came across a post that the Polymer Clay Artist Guild of Etsy was having a contest. I went and checked out their blog and was amazed by what I found. They do such beautiful and intricate work. I couldn’t believe that some of the things were made from clay, but why would they lie about it?

As I am not someone to pass up the opportunity to win something beautiful I cast my vote for my favorite piece and was automatically entered into their drawing for a prize. Well, to my delight and amazement I won a lovely lariat necklace made by Pippa Chandler of Pips Jewellery Creation.
