Allegro Arts GIVEAWAY (closed)

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED
i am so excited to introduce you to one VERY talented artist today, Gary. when i was first introduced to his shop, i was floored by his creations. each is so different and beautiful. Gary uses genuine silver to make origami jewelry! yep, you heard me right, he folds real silver into origami shapes. how seriously cool is that?! 
now the question is, how did Gary come about to making silver origami? well, he’s a musician and used to repair musical instruments. he found that the same tools he was using could be used to make jewelry. so then Gary decided to combine his love for origami with his jewelry making and ta-da! silver origami jewelry was born!
Gary is also a part of Team Bacon, an etsy team of sellers that have tons of fun. Team Bacon is having a “Find the Bacon” contest starting Monday, May 17 and you can win cool prizes! to find out more, check out their blog, Six Degrees of Etsy Bacon.
check out this sweet kitty! 
and these cute puppies. awww!
i would totally rock these flower beauties with almost every outfit i own! so pretty!
Gary also uses other mediums for his jewelry, including millefiori. millefiori is made by “pressing rods of glass into flower shapes, then stretching them out and pressing them together into sheets of thousands of tiny flowers.” 
 now for the GIVEAWAY!! one super lucky Craftaholics Anonymous reader will win this lovely crane pendant nacklaces! {one of Gary’s most popular designs}
