And... we have a winner for February. It is our newest LMAJ member Stacie Florer. Typically, we do not include members in our drawings, but in this case, Stacie's submission was prior to her invitation to the group. These very cool earrings were chosen using random.org.
Gotta love these VERY cool earrings..... Definitely created handmade with handmade.... Love it!!!
Here are some others designs that Stacie shared as well.
Check out more from Stacie by going to her shop and blog. Both can be found on the side bar of this blog.
And for those of you who may be new here, this is a re-cap of what Strut Your Stuff is all about, and how you can win.
About STRUT YOUR STUFF - Love My Art Jewelry
A place for jewelry and bead artists to show off their jewelry creations using all handmade components.
Monthly Challenge Rules

2. Leave a description of your thought process while creating your jewelry or beads/components. We really want everyone to share their creative thinking so please make sure that you share.
3. Since we are a group promoting "creating handmade with handmade," your jewelry should consist of at least 75% handmade. This doesn't mean that you have to create everything that goes into your piece. You could use beads/components created by other artists. Please give credit to that artist in your description.
4. If your submission will be loose beads/components, it may include any medium that you prefer to make those in. These submissions would also require a description of your creative thought process.
5. You may submit as many pieces as you like in a month, but please note that your name will be put in the hat once for the end of monthly giveaway. And in fairness, you can be chosen only once for designer of the week.
6. This challenge begins the first Monday of each month. Winners from the previous month will be announced the first Monday of the following month. For example January's challenge starts 1/2/12 and the winner announced 2/6/12.
7. Have fun, show off!!
