I've been wanting to do a giveaway lately, and like always just needed to get my act together. Well, it is not totally together, but anyways here I am with a giveaway. To enter the giveaway you need to post a comment on my blog let me know why you like ceramic beads, and how you heard about me and this blog. Feel free to share this giveaway with your friends etc. I need to get my name out there and any little exposure helps.
I am giving away a set of six beads and a bird made from stoneware clay and glazed in a teal green shade. They have been fired to cone 5.

What a cute set of beads! I came across your blog via Twitter (which I addded letely to my social networks). I love about ceramic beads that each is unique and the smooth and shiny glaze.
I'll share the giveaway in my FB page.
Oh those are gorgeous, I love turquoise, and I love how you have them displayed, just beautiful.
I met you at a bead class you taught in Los Angeles, how many years ago was that? and that's how I found out about your blog, how time flies when you working with clay.
gorgeous beads! Linda Starr sent me a link to your blog. I am a potter in Seagrove, NC and dabble here and there with bead making.
The bird bead is so cute! I would use these beads to make a suncatcher with a large green crystal at the bottom of it. I found your blog from @KokopelliDesign on twitter.
After this post I will also tweet about this giveaway. (i'm @birchbarkbeads on twitter)
Thanks!! :)
Looking at your beadwork on your Etsy site, you have a feel for color and texture. Your Beads have a nice warmth to them.
I'm a potter who heard about your work and blog from Linda Starr.

Hi Yoli!
I love your beads. Found you on Etsy in the CA Chit Chat Forums and pretty much "talk" with you everyday. Love the bird and colors.
Those beads are so cute...love the plump little bird and the color is perfect.
I know you from the Art Bead Scene, I won a giveway from Beads of Clay for my challenge entry and I, also, have bought from you on Etsy.
I like ceramic art beads for their handmade look and feel. I'm finding that my customers really like them in my jewelry designs, too. Yours are fabulous!!!
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway...
Smiles, Pam
Love this new bird and the color is great!!!!! I found you in our Beads of Clay yahoo group.....remember....I figured it was just easier to ask you technical questions than asking the group!!!! Don't you just love people like me!!!!
Your work is beautiful. I will tweet this as well!!! Good luck yoli!!!!
I just recently bought some beautiful beads from you! I love the quality and the colors.
I love ceramic beads...they're so unique and not one is alike!
Thanks! :)
Oh I forgot to say why I like ceramic beads, because they're made out of clay and formed by someone's hands.
A clay artist friend of my suggested I look at your sight since I love organic looking beads and admire anyone that can create such wonderful small pieces of art.
Thumbs up to you.
What cute beads - the bird is so sweet! I love ceramic beads in general because of the organic shape and feel they lend to my jewelry.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

I found you on Etsy when I was doing some Christmas shopping. I'm a sucker for all things unique and absolutely loved your work. You have great taste and style. I would buy a handmade item over a manufactured one any day.

Those beads are adorable! Love how clay beads are so earthy and natural. You and I met at the Yorba Linda Tall Mouse, selling jewelry!
I met you through Beads of Clay yahoo group. You always have a helpful words of encouragement for others. That's how I knew about your blog.
Lets see ... why do I like ceramic beads ... they're shiny and pretty and, well, yummy wonderful! Especially these on your blog! Gorgeous!
I've always felt close to the earth, probably the little bit of Cherokee blood in me. LOL It seemed only natural to dabble in clay. I love clay beads, especially the different glazes and how they can look on a finished piece. I met you through Beads of Clay and you have been wonderful smoothing my way into the BOC world.
3These are so BEAUTIFUL Yolanda!
Ohh I should of said your work is just Lovely! I need to keep an eye on your Esty page!

Love these beads ... the little birdie is soooo sweet! I am always looking for unique beads to use in my work. I am going to look at your the rest of your work right away. Will look you up on Twitter, as well! I just linked over to your FB page today from a comment left by "Colors of the Woods."
I love your beads - especially the birds. I make pottery pendants and am always looking for cool beads to go with them! Heard about you on Facebook.
Beautiful beads! I heard about you from my Mom, who is a clay artist. Thanks for the inspiration.

Such a pretty set of beads! I found you through the Beads of Clay website. I love all types of handmade beads but what I love about ceramic beads is that they "feel" handmade. You can almost imagine the beadmaker's hands in the clay when you touch them. I feel that way about all pottery actually. I love holding a nice handmade mug. :-)
