I was the lucky winner of a beautiful pair of earrings by Ruth Rae in her pay it forward giveaway. You can see them and her other wonderful creations here.
Your artistic spirit can only be matched with your incredible generosity. You have restored my faith in humanity! Paying it forward, one kind gesture at a time...what a wonderful concept!

I Love..., love the idea of paying forward give away! What a wonderful way to share our art with others and motivate them to pass it on. You are the most creative person I know and I admire your heart, soul and creativity. I'm going to offer one on my blog too!
ReplyDeleteCory, your work is exquisite, as usual. I would be honored to wear this piece!!! It is beautiful, and most certainly does have that "gypsy/bohemian" flair that I adore so much. I have been "studying" true artist pieces to try my hand..as well as making some molds to use with resin or polymer clay additions, instead of purchased embellishments. I am crossing my fingers here and hoping to win. Hisses, Rockin Robin (stampinsavage@yahoo.com)

ReplyDeleteI fall in love with every piece you make. LOL

Hi Cory, your necklace is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSomeone will be very lucky.
that really is a breath taking piece! eye-catching. bet it would really light up a face!
ReplyDeleteHi Cory!
ReplyDeleteI love this necklace, your blog, and your art!!!
I would LOVE to win this beautiful necklace! The pink dangle beads really work well with the central pentant and the dangly on the bottom of the pendant.
If I won this necklace, it would be the treasure of my jewelry collection!
I don't have a blog, but I belong to many art groups on yahoo and I think I would probably make either a brooch or a bracelet to pay it forward, possibly both.
Thanks for sharing this extraordinary necklace without asking for money!!!
Big happy hugs,

ReplyDeleteA lovely necklace and a fun, generous concept. Sign me up.
ReplyDeleteI love this necklace, especially the main piece in it. Very unusual. I already like to make things and give them away to people I think need them. I have a group (although members rarely post!) and if you want a look the addy is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/handmade_smiles/ Anyway, if I win the necklace I will do make something especially to pay it forward. My email addy is: astra1912@yahoo.com. Arlene :)

I love this whole idea! I love the necklace,also. but your spirit is so refreshing and is very powerful. It inspires others to do the same!

What a generous and inspiring thing to do! My heart is smiling right now. And the necklace is gorgeous. I too make jewelry,amongst lots of other stuff I love to make, with only so many waking hours - so I trade-off and do things seasonly - as spirit leads. But, I will keep this in mind when I dip back into my beads.. I'll leave my jewelry blog link to share w/you.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for this wondrous project.
It is beautiful Cory.
ReplyDeleteI love the PIF idea and had the priviledge to take part in one a few months back.
Cory, such a beauty ! The focal piece looks very mysterious to me !Love it ! I think this giveaway is a great concept.
ReplyDeleteSabine@vaternet.net

ReplyDeletePIF IS such a cool idea!
You are simply an art goddess, Cory, not only wonderfully creative but generous as well. I'd be honored to be the winner and would gladly "pay it forward".
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea filled with spirit and generosity. Your art piece is beautiful and I would be honored to play forward one of the bracelets I've made from French General. Please count me in. Thanks!!
