RAK time......

I decided it must be time again for another
RAK
{random act of kindness/blog giveaway}
now I've always had paperart RAK's in the past
but not today....
today it's a piece of my Jewelry
and typical Gill style
it's gotta be a little old something mixed with a little new something...
so here tis
'the Keeper of Bling'
Fabby bits I've used to make the 'keeper of bling' are - Rusty pitted old key, Brass Double Rollo Chain, Swarovski Crystal, & all Solid Brass Findings

I use Brass in my jewelry because over time it developes a rich patina, adding warmth and charm to the pieces I create.

but if you prefer it to be more golden and sparkly,
all you have to do is give it a little rub over with some gentle brass or jewelry cleaner and it looks like new again :)
If you'd like to see more of my jewelry pieces
here's a link to my shop


Now if you'd like to win my
**** The Keeper of Bling ****

all you have to do is
leave me a comment in in the comments of this post.

Some time soon I'll get one of my children to draw a name out

and that person will be the new owner of

'The Keeper of Bling'
