This is amazing Silverleaf! I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing this story and please keep us updated with the details of your ongoing Facebook adventure. It is very exciting!

By the way everyone, I would encourage you to follow Silverleaf’s lead here. Facebook attracts a huge amount of Internet traffic, so it is a great place to share your photos and stories with the world.

Flickr and Photobucket are also great sites that are free to use.

Has anyone else posted their contest photographs on any of these social networking sites, or on your own blogs? Please do let us know.

Thank you Cindy and Rose! I am pleased with the way my beads turned out, especially as the technique is one I haven’t tried before.

Oh and I had another couple of messages from people asking where they can buy my jewellery and if I do commissioned work. :) Yay!

I never thought of getting sales through Facebook. Maybe it’s worth a try for anyone else who wants to sell as well.

Cindy, I just reread the comments under the watercolor bead video & saw your response to someone else. I’ll try what you told her.

Silverleaf, your watercolor beads are gorgeous. Love the colors.
Cindy, I made some yesterday & had trouble getting the white & black edges to develop – they’re very thin. In one of the two colors I used, the line hardly formed at all. I rolled them in my hands quite a bit, but I’m wondering if my sheet of clay could have been too thin. Without seeing them, do you have any idea where I went wrong?

Oh and Helen… Hurray for you!!! I see that your Gravatar photo is now working. So that’s already a little WIN to feel good about. I know this was causing you some frustration further up in this thread.

@Peggy – to relax and have fun is the PERFECT way to participate in this contest. Thanks for saying that.

@Silverleaf – Your watercolour beads are GORGEOUS! And the sale you made, is like adding a cherry on top to make everything feel so worthwhile. I’m doing the happy dance with you right now. This is a great example of how good things can happen when you participate. And I LOVE it that you are sharing your pics with the world on Facebook. When I post the contest pics here at my site, I’ll only be able to post one photo per entry. So it’s going to be great for everyone to have the option to click through to your page to see your gallery layout of several photos, showing different angles and zooms of your work. Absolutely wonderful!

Posted my pictures of watercolour beads on Facebook. I’ve just logged back in to find a message from a guy I went to school with asking if I sell jewellery as his daughter saw my necklace and wants a bracelet!

Yay Cindy, you got me a sale! :) *does a happy dance*

I’m nervous, excited and on pins and needles to get started. I don’t have any beads from Volume 14 but love those tuts. I have had an unexpected family guest show up and will be here till Thurs or Fri. So will be strapped for time but God willing I will try my best to make what I can but most important is I need to relax and have fun. It would be marvelous to win but it is an honor just to share with all of you my love for this. So I pray everyone first and formost have fun learning, and kick butt. No one is a loser in this contest. That is a big part of what makes it so fun to learn from Cindy. We are all winners just for trying and finding this blog and Tuts.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Love and Uuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggs, Peggy

I had a look through all the videos again. There are 24 videos on my “must try soon” list, a lot of which I’d forgotten about. Thanks for spurring me to find them again Cindy!
