You'll receive everything you need to make the necklace, including the chain, jump rings, clasp, enamel beads, and head pins!


But that's not all! Really? Seriously? Seriously.


For a chance to win the Grand Prize - a Torch-Firing Kit (or $110 shopping experience atwww.paintingwithfireartwear.com) - please leave a review at Amazon.com by November 24. Remember, leave an honest review... the book must stand on its own.


Thanks for playing along! This is going to be a lot of fun!

P.S. Unfortunately, we have to restrict the giveaways to U.S. residents. Winners should contact me with their name and address through my author website: www.torchfiredenameljewelry.com so that you can receive your prizes!

I own your book and love it. I have made a couple of the designs and got inspiration from others. I am going to reserve a seat with you for the Bead Fest in King of Prussia, PA in April. I think I need a lesson before my purchase. Ruth C

I love Erin's blog and posts. Can't wait to read what she has to say. And a signed book by you would be great. Plus her earrings are so cute. I'm a follower.

I just came from Erin's blog. I'm not surprised to see she had an excellent post for the tour. A 'word smith' she is for sure!

What a treat, and some great eye candy too!

I really enjoyed Erin's blog post this morning. The whole tour has been very exciting and fun! I really want to learn this process and I'm hoping that Santa will bring me one of your kits!

Erin's review is wonderful! She truly is a "wordsmith"!

Shirley said...

Oh, I'm thrilled she's on the tour. I love reading her posts, she writes so beautifully. And as much as I love her awesome jewelry, I'm drooling over the chance to win a signed copy!

Erin's review of your book is wonderful. She really did a thorough job of covering all the beautiful aspects of your book. I love her work and I knew the designs that she included would be lovely as well.

I indicated that I had your book on Erin's blog comments, but it isn't a signed copy. If I don't happen to win that prize now, I hope you will sign my copy at Bead & Button. I am making my plans to be there.

Loving the book tour. I am still holding out hope for the grand prize :-)

Your new book is on its way to me from Amazon. I was able to order it last night and I can't wait to dive in. I purchased your enamel kit from you in Tucson last year and hope I will now have time to use it.

I hope you teach again in Tucson this year so I can take a class!
