Giveaway: MetryChick Designs Custom Photo Bracelet

** this giveaway is closed ***

There are alot of very very crafty people in Louisiana and Handmade Louisiana is a super consortium of crafters and businesses that really excel at showing off the best of Louisiana made crafts and products. Every week the blog features one member/artist, who sometimes also offers a giveaway of one of their products. Plus monthly there is a craft-a-long contest, where readers can vote for the craft projects they like the best. Plus the members combine to work festivals and art shows in the area.


As a member/follower of the site, I have come across some superb products and I contacted some of the crafters/artists, and they agreed to being part of the Pretty in Pink Bonanza! Today is our first entry from the Handmade Louisiana group- MetryChick, who JUST happens to be the Artist of the Week! CONGRATULATIONS!


About Celeste/MetryChick: My name is Celeste Haar and although I am called a lot of things the one that I am most proud of (after Mom and Wife) is Metry Chick! I am THE Metry Chick, creator and head chick for MetryChick.com (if you;re wondering about the title- Metry is the local nickname for the New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, suburb, Metairie) I create etched glass items as well as photo jewelry, a fancy-ish term for making jewelry using pictures. My etched glass is a lot like me, quirky and unique. Check out her gorgeous bride and groom goblets below!

I am an artist that works by hand, so that means that I don't use any machines or stencils when I etch. I etch every single piece every single time with a knife and acid. It does take a little bit of time and a whole lot of practice, but that's why I do it. It allows me to create complex designs. If I can dream it and my knife can cut it, I can do it. I have been blessed with my business and it has become my full time job. I love what I do. I have always had that dream of being able to make a living with art and now I am living the dream. I know how lucky I am and count my blessings.  I live about 10 minutes from downtown New Orleans with my husband of almost 20 years, my two beautiful daughters and two white pooches. 

MetryChick has something for EVERYBODY on your gift list! I LOVE her new monogram pendants: The pendant is customizable with any initial or monogram and comes with a choice of any ONE birthstone swarovski crystal.  Isn't it perfect for giving to a best friend, teacher or sister?


Planning a wedding? She has you covered as well, not only with Bride, Maid of Honor pendants, but think how great the pendant here would be for bridesmaids, flower girl and mother presents!

A must for anyone living in New Orleans is her adorable N'Awlins Nostalgia (tile) Bracelet-  Guaranteed to start a conversations, get some gasps and "awwws" and even inspire the occasional sing a long. Square Bracelet feature 8 vignettes that are what makes N'Awlins NOstaLgiA so moving and important, like Rosenblum's, Schweggman's, Mckenzie's, Dixie Beer and K&B- all gone, but NOT forgotten! Each silver plated square is .68"; square for a total length of 7-9"; with toggle clasp. Each photo is sealed under a poured lacquer to ensure durability and clarity of the image and a glass like finish. The photos will not fall out of this baby! 


PLUS, she has alot more "Unique to New Orleans" items, that will delight anyone who has lived in the area, gone to school here, or still lives here! Check out her site and you will NOT be disappointed!
