Note: Worldwide entries accepted.

Cassandra, the awesome creative force behind Design by Cassandra, actually saw our original set of Halloween giveaways & wanted to share her work with all of you! She’s baaaaack for our “Gifts for Her” Holiday Giveaways with a special piece available for one of you to win! I had the chance to ask her some questions about her art. Here’s what she had to say:

“How did you get started?”
I started nearly ten years ago helping a fellow classmate raise funds for our volunteer trip to South America. She had decided to make hemp necklaces and bracelets, and enlisted my help. Since then, I’ve been hooked to all forms of jewelry and accessory designing making, and always having fun experimenting with new things.

“What’s your inspiration?”
My inspiration comes from the oddball and quirky things I find in the most unexpected places; dollar store toys, electronics, household items, television shows – even musical instrument parts! I do my best to learn new techniques as I go, because it’s what always keeps me fresh and new, and excited in my work.

“What’s your favourite medium?”
Growing up as a child, I was heavily exposed to music and theatre, and the two clashed on occasion. My heart belongs there, but certainly has opened more doors to writing, literature, acting, designing, photography and visual arts, amongst other things. Jewelry design and making is something that I do on a constant basis because it’s so easily accessible and provides ‘instant gratification’, but the performing arts would have to be my favourite medium; it’s to entertain and to educate.

“Do you do custom items?”
I love to do custom items on a consultation basis. It’s an essential part of ‘nailing’ the look for that particular client. I like to ask questions like, “What colour is your ‘power suit’?” or “Which would you rather: extreme athletic ability, to fly, or to breath underwater?” Questions like these tell me what makes you feel confident, and that’s what I want you to feel when you wear my jewelry – confident!

One fabulous thing about buying from Design by Cassandra is that your SHIPPING IS ALWAYS FREE! So, although a gift bought & sent to a loved one from Cassandra’s Store my arrive after Christmas, but will still be a great holiday gift!!

She also has great featured sections in her shop:

  4. d b c P H O T O - Original photography, unique picture frames and photo greeting cards by Cassandra Watsham. Most photo prints available in postcard size (4″ by 6″) and 8″ by 11″.
  5. g i f t B L I N G - Unique gift wrap options to make gift giving more exciting! Keepsake boxes, jeweled bows to wear as jewelry and handmade gift tags

My current fave in Cassandra’s shop is The Owl Moon Bangle Necklace! This beautiful owl will sit on her ‘bangle’ perch for as long as you need her, to bring you wisdom or peace of mind. Glass beads in turquoise and black scatter along the chain, approximately 18 inches. You’ll receive this necklace gift wrapped in tissue paper in an organza bag. Check out my g i f t B L I N G section for ways to make gift giving more exciting!

What YOU can win: The Jayme necklace/pin, no. 1 ($40) from Design by Cassandra! The kilt pin pendant is a mix of jasper, Lucite, cat’s eye, Indian prayer beads and other fantastic little baubles in the mix. The pendant can be removed to wear as a brooch. It’ll be a little heavy, so it’ll hold up heavier wraps and shawls for your evening out. Matching keychain to accessorize what you please! . The gift box features a vintage wine poster from the 1940s, another great little inspiration for the Jayme line.

    And thanks to Angela for picking the Sparrow necklace, no. 2! The picks come from a custom guitar shop called Sparrow Guitar from Vancouver, British Columbia, who make some incredible hand-painted guitars played by the likes of Duff McKagan and bands like MxPx. A really cool rockabilly vibe to their look! Check ‘em out at http://www.sparrowguitars.com!
