Hi All,
I would like to invite all of you who have the Leonardo Petal Pullers or the NEW petal presser to a contest I am having. I thought about the different rules and regulations for the contest but....I like things simple when it comes to submitting work so needless to say, this is an easy contest.
1) You must use either the large or small petal puller or the new petal presser. The ruffler can be used along with the pullers but, not separately since it is not my invention. Does not have to be a flower.
2) To make it fair for both, the lampworker or designer there are 2 categories. One for bead/s and One for a jewelry design. Designer...does not have to be your bead but give credit to the lampworker. The bead/s category winner will receive my next tool. Jewelry design winner wins one of my lampwork flowers.
3) Please keep the files to no more that 350K. No meg files. My computer won't take too many large files. Also post the pics to the LE thread so everyone can see your beauties.
4) The end of the contest is Nov 23, 2007 That gives everyone a month to play with the tools or if you would like to order the tools for the contest you can get them right off of the site. Winners will be posted on LE and my website. Any questions please email....
Let's have some fun! Thanks for participating and good luck!
Karen
