Washi Paper Jewelry

Leah (leahrcole@...) has won this giveaway. She has chosen the Koi in Love pendant. Thank you for entering Leah, and thank you to Maoiliosa for this lovely giveaway!

While getting my daily "Etsy Fix", I found the most unique pendants. Maoiliosa is the talented designer, and she creates her works of art out of washi paper ("washi" is the Japanese word for paper). In fact, she finds inspiration in all things Japanese, which she says explains her "fixation on washi paper".

Washi paper is related to mulberry paper and is usually made by hand. It is often used in the creation of origami. It is also a very earth-friendly paper, as it is lower in acidity than other papers and is made using far fewer chemicals than most paper.

The pendants Maoiliosa creates are simply lovely. The come in a variety of colors and shapes and are strung on beautiful ribbons with twist closures.

For the month of October, when you purchase a pendant you can choose to have it strung on an 18" silver-plated chain at no extra cost. Simply tell Maoiliosa that you would like the chain instead of the ribbon in the "notes to seller"section upon checkout. She also offers free shipping on all orders over $50.

For this giveaway, Maoiliosa is offering the winner the choice of any item in her store (up to a $20 value). Although I am partial to the pendants, Maoiliosa also creates earrings and rings, magnet sets, pocket mirrors, hair accessories, necklace boxes, and gift sets.
