After my last little giveway was so much fun, I swore that it would be something I would do regularly. Well here it is, over four months later, and I am finally doing another. So excited.
In December I got a flat tire on my bicycle. In this city, that sucks. And I suddenly had a useless inner tube on my hands. What was I to do? Create of course. I got inspired and came up with, drumroll please, these beautiful earrings....
...I LOVE them. I love the unexpected material they are made out of. Plus that they can be a little rock'n'roll or a little elegant. What was intended as a geeky project just for me became quickly popular with people I showed them to. So, despite the fact that my shop is a crochet shop, I have decided to start offering these as well. (I got another flat tire, so I am at supply surplus at the moment).
Do you want a pair? I really hope so because I am offering up a pair of these earrings to one lucky person before putting them in my shop. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and that counts as your entry. On Thursday, Jan 22 at 12:00 MST I will post the winner. Please, please, tell me what you think and what other variations you might like to see (I have a few other designs in the work). Happy commenting.

OOOH! OOOH! OOOH! Pick me! Pick me!!! :) *Angie jumps up and down, frantically waving her hand in the air to catch your attention*
I would LOVE to have an Amanda original. I LOVE that you took a situation that could have been a real pisser and turned it into something creative and lovely. Only YOU would think of turning a busted tire into a piece of jewelry. So creative, you!
Much love.

Oh wow, those are lovely! I mean, it's a fabulous design, but conceptually fascinating as well. How often do you get to ask the question, "Where have my earrings been?"
I can't say I have many sugestions for alternate designs. Perhaps try stringing strips of tube from a set of drop hoops? Or maybe adding in a few feather, to bring in a hint of color? Whatever you choose to do, they're gorgeous as they are. Thanks for sharing!

Amanda you know I love your creativity! I'd love to be in this drawing! Suggestions:
1. Hoop earrings (maybe with silver "spokes")?
2. Snowflake/ lattice design
3. Spades or clubs
4. Dice
5. Nefertiti or Isis
Love you. Karen.
PS.6. Musical notes or treble clef
Hey Amanda! I was poking around your facebook page and your websites and think your shop is so cute! I love the idea of the earrings, too... :)

Really cool! love them

VERY cool idea, and the earrings are fab!
I would love to see random shapes - ovals, circles, rectangles - with holes punched out and with silver grommets in them. Very industrial chic!

Did I win yet? (KMB mixes a winner's brew, laughs and gives the reader a trance glance).
Hey, now! No voodoo magic stuff, Miss Karen! And besides! I GOT HERE FIRST! I think that, in and of itself, ENTITLES me to the prize!!! LOL (Entitles? Whew! I hear Miss Megan's voice scolding me right now!)
Hey now, no cat fights ladies. You've got two more days of waiting. I suggest drawing a deep breath...
I love that you got a flat tire and decided to make earrings! I love your creativity! The earrings are awesome!
oh i like these! thanks for joining my contest too!
i'd like these if they also came in a shredded look instead of just rounded off! that's my two cents!
