Fun Design Contest!

I just wanted to let you all know about a really fun design contest called the Design Your Persona & Win Contest. Basically, you design a charm bracelet online using their beads and try to get the most votes for your design in order to win your bracelet for free. The contest runs until December 10th 2010. So far my fellow purse forum members have found good luck when sharing their entry on facebook! I don't have facebook so I thought I'd share my entry here:

It's called "Beginning"

Pandora's Green Flower

I've had my eye on glass flower beads since posting Troll's Translucent Flowers about a week ago. Pandora's Green Flower bead caught my attention yesterday when browsing through Pandora's catalog. I don't know whether it's the vibrant shades of green or the fact that these white flowers look like they're actually on the surface, but I woke up thinking about Green Flowers this morning. Pandora's Green Flower bead costs $40 Canadian.

Persona's Flowers In The Wood

Persona's Flowers In The Wood bead features a variety of different sized flowers growing from a wood grain design. I really find this bead enchanting because it lacks borders and symmetry. Although I do like my elegant symmetrical beads, this unique charm is a welcomed change to the usual. Flowers In The Wood costs $25 Canadian.
