~*Winners*~ ~* One World One Heart *~ 2011

Congratulations to the winners & Thank you to everyone who participated!



I am very touched by the fact that so many have taken the time to visit my blog, take a look around and share some great comments with me! Some comments made me smile some made me laugh and others were a great introduction to meeting so many new creative and interesting hearts all around the world. 

I'm happy that my work has made so many of you smile, say, "wow!" and I'm glad to meet you.

There are three prize winners and two OWOH gifts.

Two gifts are being offered from my heart in appreciation.

The first- to Lisa Swifka for the enormous work that she has done for us all. Thanks to her for her AMAZING sacrifice and care! Lisa will be getting a bracelet from me with an assortment of handmade art charms. :o) ~*Thank you Lisa!!!*~

The other gift recipient is Marie Segal who you may or may not know helped to develop the clay recipe of Premo! The only clay that I use to make all of my polymer clay work.
She will be getting a charm with her name on it made of Premo! clay.
Thanks to her, I was able to create all of the pieces that so many of you have "ooohed and ahhhed" over. Thank you Marie for helping to develop Premo! It's the best!

However- This event is about the meeting, greeting, networking and discovery.


"One World One Heart is a worldwide event for bloggers only. It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants with lasting friendships (and even one love connection) formed along the way.  Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home........going from blog to blog (in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world.  It's really that easy."- Lisa Swifka


Hello and ~*Welcome*~ to my blog, Amber Dawn's Inventive Soul! 
 I have posted lots of eye candy photos to share some of what 
I've been designing since the last time I participated in the OWOH event!
My door prize can be found below. 
:o) I hope that you enjoy the entire 2 week long event!

You must be this tall if you would like to enter my door prize giveaway! 
Or be over 18 *or* have your parents permission 
because you will need to send me your mailing address if you win!


I've been designing things for most of my life.



 Some are mysterious...


Some are sassy...

                                                                
    Some are Sci Fi inspired...


Some are educational...



Oh this, this is not my design, this is my husband's design...

:o) He loves to design artistic furniture...


I love to draw...


I love to make zines


I love to participate in charity events...


I enjoy creating delicate objects...













    I like to develop project ideas and tutorials...




 





I like using my big hands to create VERY small works of art...

All of these are pictured on a US dime. The smallest US coin in circulation.




The above cupcake is 3/16ths of an inch. Less than 1/4 of an inch wide. Click on the photo to see the detail more clearly.




This cupcake is ***3 MILLIMETERS WIDE!*** That is the tip of a ball point pen next to it.




I love to create eye candy...


                                                               I love to design jewelry...


I am a fan of Steampunk...



I like doing things in new ways...





I love to design couture...




I love to create little bits of fun...


I like drawing on hats with markers...


I like to take photos of myself to share what I make...


I love to create things that look real...





The above cupcake is 1/8 of an inch.






The above cupcakes are 3-4 MILLIMETERS wide.



                                              ~*  I LOVE TO SHARE!!! *~
                                Here is my door prize offering-



Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little bit.
As a special treat, I am offering a polymer clay cupcake miniature sculpture such as this one above, shown on a US quarter, as a prize.

One lucky person who's name I draw at the end of the event on February 17th will be asked to submit their preference for frosting flavor and flower color. Or, the winner can have the one pictured here in the photo.

If you are new to my blog and my work, please feel free to view my Flickr and YouTube links on my sidebar. You can also click on "older posts" at the bottom of each page.
I am hosting another One World One Heart event on the International Handmade Art Charm Day Blog!
Here-
~*Charms to Wear & Share*~
 International Charm Day is April 28th. I will be hosting another free event then and you are invited to join!
If you are a charm maker and would like to participate, let me know! It's a holiday inspired by the OWOH event. The world needs more days like this! Meet, greet and share! :o)
