WIN Cleveland Handmade: custom stamped & domed pendant by Lori Paximadis

Lori on October 22, 2009

The Random Number Generator decided it would be a great day for sabrita — she’s the winner of the stamped and domed pendant giveaway from Lori Paximadis. Congratulations, Sabrita, and thank you to all those who checked out the shops of Cleveland Handmade and entered to win. A new giveaway goes up each Thursday at 9 a.m. through the end of the year. Keep coming back!

giveaway-virtualloriCleveland Handmade is hosting a giveaway to thank all our wonderful supporters and customers, as well as give you the opportunity to check out the high-quality handmade art in member shops. We’re giving you the chance to win a custom stamped and domed sterling silver charm necklace generously donated by Cleveland Handmade member Lori Paximadis, aka virtuallori.

This simple pendant is a different twist on the typical stamped silver pendant. Doming gives it a new dimension (literally!), and the little daisy spacers and hand-formed (by Lori) ball pin add to the handmade charm. She can stamp any name(s) or word(s) in all lowercase up to 14 letters around the lower edge of the circle, and can add dots or dashes between names, too. The disk is 1 inch (2.5 cm) round before doming; the final diameter is approximately 7/8 inch (2.25 cm). A gray patina is applied, and the pendant is rough sanded for a natural but refined look.

There are just three simple things you need to do to enter:

1. Visit Lori’s shop and take a look around. Make a note of your favorite item in her shop.

2. Then either visit our artists page or search Etsy for the “clevelandteam” tag and check out some items from other Cleveland Handmade member artists.

3. Come back and leave a comment on this post (look for the comment box or link at the end of this post) telling us your favorite item from Lori’s shop AND your favorite item from another Cleveland Handmade shop, and you’ll be entered to win. It’s that simple!

You have until Wednesday, October 28 at noon EST to get your entry in, so commence browsing. There’s lots to discover!

We’ll randomly draw one winner from the comments posted.
