Giveaway Competition – Win a handmade plaque!
I can’t believe its been a year since I started my blog. I remember writing my first post, unsure of what to write about and how my blog would develop. Look at it now – you haven’t been able to shut me up! I’ve really enjoyed looking back on some old posts, its been a great way to document what I’ve done, what I plan to do, my experiences, inspiration, and I’ve also met a lot of interesting people.
Thank you to everyone who follows my blog (I now have 200 of you!). Also thanks to anyone who has ever left comments, featured or mentioned me on your blog, and promoted some of my posts. I really appreciate you all – old or new.
To celebrate my ‘blogiversary’, and also gaining 200 followers, I have decided to run a giveaway!
The winners will each receive a customised handmade ceramic plaque with any engraved wording, pattern, texture, and colour of their choice. You can even choose the shape of the plaque – round, heart, rectangle, square… And the engraved wording can be absolutely anything. Please also specify which colour string you would prefer to hang the plaque up – either brown or cream.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me how you would like your plaque designed. There will be 2 winners! Anyone can enter, I’m happy to ship worldwide.
To be in with more of a chance to win, you can also do some or all of the following;
- Follow me on Twitter and post a link to my giveaway, mentioning my Twitter username @CHCeramics
- Become a follower of this blog if you’re not already
- Mention this giveaway on your own blog
Winners will be drawn using the random number generator and announced on Wednesday 18th March, so you’ve got until then to comment, get tweeting and blogging! I will make the 2 winning plaques straight away, and they will be decorated and fired in the kiln. The plaques will be posted out to the winners in April. Good luck everyone!
I'd love to win one of your plaques Charlotte! If I won I'd like a heart-shaped one, in greeny blues with hearts & spirals on it with cream string

How lovely.
I would like a heart too but I would like it very simple. Cream background like a stone effect with the word LOVE in a nice latte colour with one or two simple daisy type flowers & jute string to hang.

I would love one of your squarish plaques with my door number on it so that I can hang it from the lantern outside my front door for everyone to admire!

Lovely giveaway Charlotte!
With cream string. No idea what wording I'd have on it though!
I'm so indecisive when it comes to these kinda things, but I think I'd love a greeny heart shaped one, with lots of texture, swirls and flowers maybe

wonderful give away! I would be delighted to win one of your plaques, I would probably choose a rectangle one thats earthy colored with live, laugh, love on it and very rustic. I love your style!
Oh Oh me too! I'd love a square one for my caravan in West Wales – to read
"My other home is a house with central heating"!
Hehe.
Aww what a lovely giveaway! If I won, I would like a yellow circular plaque with 'You make me smile!' engraved around the outside, and cream string!
I've Twittered your giveaway and joined your Facebook group too

What a wonderful giveaway … i always enjoy seeing your new stuff. I'd love a squarish plaque with a smattering of greens and blues and the word love in the bottom right corner. And a cream string.
Hi Charlotte, I have twittered (already follow) and joined your FB page! I would very much love to have a wall plaque with the lovely dark greens and blacks which you can see on the close up (above) in the row of 4 plaque photo's. I would love it to be textural and tactile, with loads of layers of colour. I wouldn't want any writing on it, it would be a work of art in it's own right! Shape, probably rectangular, but width ways rather than length ways!

A fantastic idea to make the giveaway so personal. So difficult to do I tried all sorts of wording 'Love me. Love my craft' 'Beware designer at work' Here's my heart – Please take care of it' 'Artist in Residence'
In the end I decided 'Love' in the middle of a heart shaped plaque with flowers in shades of lilac
These are beautiful.
I would love a squarish pale yellow plaque with "welcome to your home from home" anything homey and welcoming to hang outside the door to the Slimming world group I run. Wouldn't mind the colour of the string
Me! Me! Me!
Great idea, mmmm I would love to have a heart, cream and the brown texture as in your top right photo and brown string to compliment the brown texture, and texture you would love to do.didn't realise you had facebook (DOH!) linking up now..Kxxx
They are all so beautiful I would be happy to win any one of them but I have a fondness for green, so a green heart would be lovely with perhaps cream string.

Hi Charlotte, what a lovely blog you have here. Congratulations on your year in blogland! … :0)
Such a lovely giveaway: if I won I would like a round plaque in shades of reds, purple and pinks with the words "just crafting" to put on the door of my craft room.

lovely giveaway, I'd like a wood textured plaque, probably rectangular with cream string, I'd leave the colouring up to you! (i'm indecisive and like them all!) i like earthy tones.
I'm stuck as to what to put on it…I think like nichola i'd like strong colours so it works as a piece on it's own without writing.
Oh charlotte, this is a lovely giveaway! Congrats on a whole year of blogging!! I always like reading your posts. I would love an oval one that says 'Shedquarters' for my new workshop in the garden. It would be a lovely way to christen it! I don't mind what colours so i'll leave that up to you if i'm lucky enough to win! Thanks Marie x
Ooh! Fab giveaway!!
I love all of them but if I was lucky enough to chose I would chose a heart shape with the word Smile on it. I would leave the colours up to what you thought would look best.
Great blog!

What a great giveaway, love it. I would like a heart shaped plaque, bark-type background effect with lilac colourings, cream string. Wording – "You are my world".
I'm going to hang it (if I win) in my daughters bedroom because she is my world and love her so much.
I think I already twitter/FB you, but will now blog about you. xx

If I win I would love a rectangle in blues and creams saying "Leon's room" with blue cord- for my Son

If I was lucky enough to win I would like a 6 sided star in blues and white with Shalom written on it, not necessarily in the middle!
If I won this contest, I'd love one with no text, designed with shades of beige, russet red, gray, black, and orange… actually, if I won I'd love to send you a picture of my striped comforter, for some color ideas, because my goal would be for it to match that!
I tweeted about this contest: http://twitter.com/doppeldeer/status/10270930508
Quite difficult to choose… but I think my favourite is the dark one with a curved top and it would be cool to have 'Welcome to The Sock Garden' on it! (Shaz from The Sock Garden!). I've done all the following things – just off to retweet. x
I think I am doing all of these (will double check) and just retweeted via UK Handmade ning post.
I love your stuff, hope I'm lucky

I love your work,and would be so happy if I won a plaque that read Mi Casa
Thanks

I'd really love to win a plaque designed using an oriental theme. With maybe pretty cherry blossoms and some inspiring text. If I win, I'll think of some text.
Congrats on a great giveaway idea! Love it.
wow, astonishing work!
If I was to win I'd decide for a rectangle shape that says "this moment". Because this moment is wonderful! Following you around now
Your work is stunning! I would love any shape, any colour of string, cream with lace effect pattern saying benvenuto – which means welcome in italian. I'm of italian heritage and I would hand this outside my front door amongst the ivy! x
