Firstly I would like to say a massive congratulations to Laura of A Daisy Chain Dream as you are now the proud new owner of the Red Rose Ruby Clutch! Hope it brings you much happiness! If you email me your address I shall pass it on to Red Ruby Rose and she shall ship it out to you.
Now onto this weeks giveaway and it is something just as stunning as the last one. This time the winner will have the choice of any of the following items from Gossimar Wings Etsy Store. The designer will give one lucky winner the chance to own one of her amazing wooden butterfly necklaces. The choice is yours!
She has also kindly answer my mini interview questions so we can get a little insight into her life.
1. Whats your name and where do you come from?
My Name is Tara Collins and I come from East Kilbride in Scotland
2. How long have you been making your designs?
I have been making my designs since august when I decided to set up my etsy shop
3. Why did you name your shop It's 'gossimar wings''?
I have always been facinated with butterflies at a young age, their pretty colours and shapes, so I wanted to incorperate that into my shop name and gossimar I decided sounded very boho and whimsical, so I put the two together and came up with Gossimarwings
4. Whats your favourite materials to work with?
I trained using silver and I love all types of metal, but I also love non-precious materials such as wood, ribbon and sequins.
5. Of your items which is your favourite?
It has to be my wooden butterflies and my peacock silver pendant which I just sold
6. Where do you get your inspiration for your designs and also their names?
I use nature as my reference point,I am constantly drawing and taking photo's of anything that inspires me. I find the names of my creations usually come to me at the end of the design process, after spending so much time studying them the tend to stand out and I usually go with my gut instinct.
7. Do you have any formal training or did this start as a hobby?
Yeah I went to college and studied Jewellery Design.
8. Do you have any favourite etsy shops which you buy from?
I got a gorgeous bag from Saveourhome, which stock the most amazing handmade bags and clutches. I really should spend more time on etsy looking and discovering new and exciting stores.
9. Whats your dream for 2010?
To make Gossimarwings a success and to bring a little bit of happiness to all my customers.
10. Whats you favourite flower?
Ah can I have 2 ? My favourite flowers are orchids and thistles. I love the different colours and shapes of the orchids and thistles remind me of Scotland and I love my country.
