Three Artists, Three Great Auction Prizes!

Posted on March 3rd, 2009 in Completed Auctions

Update: These 3 auctions have ended and we have winners! Thanks to Ainse, Rachel and Krista for bidding to support this great cause. I have emailed you all!

Today I have 3 gorgeous pieces of handmade jewellery by 3 different artists for auction. All were generously donated to support my fundraising for the Weekend To End Breast Cancer.

Cosmic Goji Pendant

cosmic1cosmic2Poppy from Groovy Glass Girl donated this pendant. This piece is fused dichroic glass surrounded by hammered copper that has been finished with a dark patina. Artist Poppy Adams uses traditional stained glass techniques combined with metalwork & fused glass to create one of a kind, unusual jewelry pieces.

Poppy will ship this item anywhere in North America.

Temptation Pendant

temptationpendantKathryn from Lazy Daisy Glass in the UK has donated this gorgeous handmade Dichroic Glass Pendant, on an 18″ sterling silver chain. Made of Bullseye art glass and genuine dichroic glass, many of the jewellery items are exclusive designs, therefore no two pieces will ever be the same.

Kathryn will ship this item anywhere.


Hot Pink Aluminum Half Persian 4 and 1 Bracelet

4in1-aa-pink-on-hand-backAndrew from 4in1-aa-pink-on-bottle-close-up1Chainmaille By MBOI kindly donated this really cool pink chainmaille aluminum bracelet.

Andrew’s wife Kimberly lost her grandmother to breast cancer, so this is a cause that hits close to home for them.

The bracelet measures 7 1/2 inches (18 cm) from lobster clasp to end, but can easily be adjusted to fit your wrist.

Andrew will ship this item anywhere.

    I like Poppy’s work, but I think my favourite is the metal and vines fused glass pendant.
