Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy

Join the PCAGOE for our Holiday Scavenger Hunt!

The Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy is hosting a Holiday Scavenger Hunt. To participate, simply visit the shops listed below and look for one of these hidden images somewhere nested in the products on their first page.

Participating PCAGOE etsy shops and the prizes they’re offering:

Tejaesart: Love Never Fails heart

SCDiva: $25 gift certificate, also valid in this shop

DivaDea: pair of earrings - you choose!

OrganicOdysseys: $20 gift certificate (valid only through December 31, 2008)

VAHaroni: BEAD STAR inaugural issue OR $25 gift certificate (valid only through January 12, 2009)

Chicki: Guardian Angel Pendant - you choose!

MarciaPalmer: $25 gift certificate

Juliespace: $20 gift certificate

Angeli: Cupcake pendant

When you’ve found one of the images, convo the shop owner, pasting the url into the message, and you will be entered in that seller’s random drawing.

To “convo” the seller, use the “contact seller” link in her shop. You must be a member of etsy in order to send a convo. (Don’t worry - it’s easy to become a member of etsy, and there’s no further obligation.)

 Each shop owner will choose a winning entry using a random number generator. The winners will be announced on the shop owners’ blogs as well as here at PCAGOE on Monday, December 22.

Here’s the fine print (but we’ll leave it big so you can read it): One entry per etsy shop, please (but feel free to enter - once - in each participating shop); PCAGOE members are not eligible to win the prizes; each person is eligible to win in one shop only (so we can spread the polymer clay love around!)

 Questions? Contact tejaesart through etsy convo. Happy hunting!

The PCAGOE monthly challenge has some new rules, and the biggest change is that we are inviting everyone to enter! If you are a polymer clay artist, lover, or even dabbler, we welcome you to enter a piece in our monthly challenge. The theme for January is BLACK and WHITE, and entries are due by midnight (EST) on December 28, 2008.

READ THE CHALLENGE INFORMATION AND RULES HERE. 

Check out our previous entries at our flickr pool here. 

Not inclined to make an entry? You can still participate and be entered to win prizes by visiting pcagoe.com during the first week of each month and voting for your favorite entry.

Here are some of our recent first place entries. Come join the fun!

PCAGOE is a diverse group of artists, living all around the world. Some of us have seen snow this year, some of us are getting ready for snow, and some of us just create it with polymer clay.

Here’s a polymer clay artist of many talents.  Some of her former  incarnations include: spelling champ, mod, hippie, folk singer, science fiction aficionado, rock singer, actress, tightrope walker, punk rocker, splatterpunk fan, record label geek, full-time crafter, and choir soloist.

Some of her beautiful pendants have two different designs like the one above.  Her photography is spectacular and on one of her newest designs, she shows a card on which the magnificent heart is placed.  The sentiment is lovely and would make such a sweet gift from a man to his woman.  

Laurel molds some of her pendants from vintage jewelry and their look is both romantic and old fashioned.  She hand wire wraps her bails for a distinctly hand crafted look.
