friday giveaway!

This is a new charm for the 'little blessings' line. Its carved from polymer clay and features a sweet image of a mother cuddling her baby. Its about the size of a dime and the thickness of one side of an Oreo. I have an idea of what I want to inscribe on the back, but I'm sort of waffling between a couple of things, unable to decide.
Which brings me to the next thing on my list, a giveaway for Friday! Leave a comment about what you would like to see on the back of the mama charm and I'll draw from the comments section. The winner will receive a pack of the beads shown above. They are from our latest batch of new pieces and they are some of my favorite! The small floral clasp is perfect for a bracelet or a delicate necklace of faceted stones and the coral branch link is great for an asymetrical summer piece. Ok! Let's hear those suggestions!

  1. Lovely Mother and child Cynthia! On the back? "Agape" would be a great word meaning a deep love. Or the word "Mine or Cherish". Or 'C'est l'amour' meaning Its Love. Best of Luck for a Happy winner!

  4. how about 'cherish'? I have thought hard about his, and it's really difficult (for me!) to come up with something that sounds meaningful but not too saccharine...it is a lovely charm though and I'm sure whatever you put on the back will be perfect! Gorgeous giveaway too - thanks Cynthia.

    How about just a simple "love" on the back? Nothing fancy, just simple and to the point?

    I love the charm!!! :)

  9. how about "home safe"

  10. It would have to be "cherish" especially after a conversation I had with my daughter yesterday. We discussed how precious life is, and how blessed her dad and I felt when she was born, and every day since to have her in our lives. How we cherish each moment with her.
    Thank you for the lovely giveaway!

  12. Cynthia, just had to comment on your beautiful new charms! I like the Greek word agape' for love... The unselfish love for one another.

  13. I would add True Love, since a mother's love is the purest form here on earth.

    Such a beautiful charm!

  14. The first thing I thought of (like many of the other commenters, I see!) was to simply inscribe "Love" on the back, then it got me thinking about my favorite ee cummings poem, so "I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart" popped into my head. I bet that's a bit too big for the size though. :)

  16. Hi Cynthia! Such beauty!
    I always think of "blessed" when I see parent and child imagery. I have a "blessed" parent and child pendant but would be honored if yours was the same.

  17. Hi Cynthia! Another fun event!
    Okay, how about this inscription:

    "Forever holding you close in my heart"

    Such a beautiful piece, looking forward to seeing it completed!

  18. How about "Forever Loved"?

    It's a great piece I know any Mama, like me, would be proud to wear!

  19. A Mother's Love is my suggestion... Lovely work, as usual!

  20. "Unconditional Love", that's what a mother's love is. It is the closest love that mirrors the love that God has for His children.

  21. "Your breathing helps my breathing"
    Those were the words my 4-year-old said when I asked him to tell me what love means

  22. Lovely piece! How about "Love and protection forever"?

    I Love this piece. Motherhood is everything to me. So I est thinking of this for the back of it:
    "You are my sweet everything"
    Love your art...

  26. So beautiful.
    The word "sheltered" comes to mind.

  27. your pieces are rather gorgeous,and being a grandmother I would say
    ' FOREVER ', since mother love does not stop once they leave home, and embraces the grandchildren that follow

    I know I'm late on the uptake here, but what about "Safe place." My 11-yo daughter, who is taller than me, will still sit in my lap and say it's the "bestest, safest place" to be.

  29. What about a list of the word "mother" in different languages?

    mater
    madre
    mitera
    mother

    (I'm such a big fan of your work!)
