One World One Heart

Photo

I almost missed the magic carpet, but I jumped on just in time!

Welcome to the B.B. Bellezza blog!

I am a jewelry artist, focused mostly on using recycled/upcycled items to make wearable pieces of art. My inspiration comes from nature and the preservation of it. I feel like we throw too much away and I try to reuse as much as I can.

Here on my blog, I share simple tips for recycling, tutorials for making things from recycled items as well as showing my latest projects. I also like to show photos from the places I go, which include a lot of odd, old, abandoned and historical places.

the giveaway:

I am giving away 2 of my Upcycled Scrabble Tile Pendants.

Love (in Chinese)

and
Recycle

to enter:

1. Have a blog (this is a blogging event, after all!)
2. You can be from anywhere in the world
3. Leave a comment on this post
4. Make sure that your comment has a way for me to get a hold of you. (either a link to your blog or your email address)

I am picking 2 separate winners - each will win one of the pendants. The winner will be announced right here on February 15, 2010. I will also get in touch with the winners.

I look forward to meeting you all! Good luck!

To check out everyone participating, grab your magic carpet, click on the image above and hold on!

Hi there,

Your blog header has drawn me right in -- great design! Anyway, your little pendants are so cute -- especially the Chinese sign for love. :)

If a glass bead necklace sounds good, you might want to visit my blog. It would be a pleasure to welcome you there. :)
