Shard naming contest

We really enjoy holding these naming contests for our new lampwork shards as they are a lot of fun for us and hopefully you as well. Plus if you win you get a great prize!

The naming contest submission starts now and expires Friday July. 16th 2010 at 11:59pm. There will be a limit of one name submission per person. Please follow this link (here) to submit your name and see others submissions as well. If there is more than one person with the same name submission, the person who posted the name first will be the one that is considered. After the close of the submission process we will go through all the names and pick our favorite top 10 names. A post will be made on our blog here revealing the names along with a poll for voting. The poll will run from July 19th thru July 31st.

The shard name that receives the most votes at the close of the poll will be the winner and receive a free .5 ounce bag of these fantastic new shards. So come on over to the contest thread and give it your best shot.

A sale and a free give-away!

Great deals on the following items.

15% off all shards

10% off streaky stringers, silvered stringers, and veining stringers

5% off murrini chips, and vine canes

Sale begins July 1st and runs until July 15th. Two whole weeks of savings. As always we offer free domestic shipping on all orders over $99.

Orders over $35 during this sale also get a free 5 1/2″ red rose murrini cane sampler. Good only while supplies last. We have a total of 20 sample canes to give. These will probably go pretty fast. To get yours you must include in your order (order instructions) that you would like one of the sample canes.

New 104coe Murrini chip now available in the web store.

Blue Nova, a brilliant blue reducing murrini chip that is sure to add a beautiful touch to any bead.

Our kiln is on the fritz at the moment so this is the only example we have at the moment. Should have some beads showing off these cool new chips soon.
