Happy Mother’s Day plus a Giveaway!
Well it is that time again to honor the mother in your life. Maybe your biological mother or if you’re like me you may adopt a mom here and there. Since the passing of my mother in 2003 and even before her passing I’ve adopted special women in my life as pseudo mothers and they have always been a blessing to me. These women that have entered my life at various moments have been available at just the right time when I’ve needed the hard won experience of a strong women figure, someone to bounce life decisions off of, or just to chat.
So what are you doing this year to honor you mother, or mother figure in your life. Gifts are wonderful but so is a hug or a dinner. Take the time to honor these people and show your appreciation for the gifts they have given you with their experience.
Our friend Rebeca from Blue Buddha Boutique was kind enough to sponsor a giveaway with us for mothers day. She has offered a Celtic Visions kit complete with rings and color pdf instructions . It is a great way to get your feet wet with a new weave or try chainmaille for the first time.
Many of you know that my wife and I do chainmalle as well and like any good mother she has our kids weaving at a young age. Both our 11 and 13 year old have been making Byzantine for 2 years now. 😀
To win the Celtic Visions kit just comment on this post, we’ll pick a winner using a random number generator on May 8th at 9pm EST!
To comment on our blog you have to a registered user of handmade artists, so just register here as a buyer it is free, then you can comment. Sorry for the hassle but spammers suck, so we have to do it.
So we are very grateful to Blue Buddha Boutique for offering us this prize to giveaway!
If winning one kit isn’t enough you can also enter to win the grand prize that Rebeca is giving away as well. Check out the Mother’s Day Chainmaille Starter Packs they are giving away as a Grand Prize on May 9th! So enter both giveaways one here and one on Blue Buddha’s Site.
The two projects included in the Mother’s Day Starter Packs – Shaggy Loops Bracelet with glass rings and Shaggy Loops Earrings with glass rings and anodized niobium earwire. The packs also include instructions, two pairs of pliers and a bead mat for holding jump rings.
Those glass rings look pretty wild to me. Never used them before so I think this is very kind of Rebeca to share this with us. Remember to give your mom a big hug on mothers day! And if there is any animosity between you and your mother, maybe this mothers day can be the day that you bury the hatchet and forgive. Life is too short.

I’ve been wanting to learn chainmaille….among so many other things. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
That’s awesome that your kids do it. I only just started and I have found I really like it. Despite some of the cursing I do when I can’t get the rings to behave. 🙂
I love Blue Buddha Boutique’s rings and things! Rebecca’s book was one of the best guides I’ve found for the beginning mailer… So clear and helpful. And this project giveaway just rocks! Thanks to all involved in providing us with this opportunity.
I’ve never tried to make celtic visions so that could be very fun. Great giveaway!
Thanks to B3 I found this site. Thanks B3.
Great post and giveaway!
Blessings to all Mothers!
BBB is my favorite supplier of rings for chain maille. I have Rebecca’s book as well and highly recommend it for beginning maillers. I would love to win this giveaway; I haven’t tried to make this bracelet yet but I have admired it 🙂
Super giveaway… I applaud Chainmaille Artists! What patience you all must have. Great Job!
Being of Irish descent, of course anything with Celtic in it turns my head. I love chain maille. What an opportunity. Thank you.
the glass rings with the chainmaille looks beautiful. Now if I could only find the glass rings….Thanks for the inspiration starter.
Thank you this offer! My Mother would love making this!
I would love to win this. I’ve been wanting to learn Chainmaille and this would be a great start and gift for my mom.
I would love to win this. I haven’t done any chain maille in AGES and would like to get back to it!
I love to make chain maille jewelry. I have never used glass or rubber rings and would love to be able to try it.
Well we have a winner thunderroseleather !!! Congrats Debbie, I’ll email Rebeca to get the details to her. Congrats on the win!!!
