OWOH

All right, all right, so I’m a sucker for memes.

But this one’s different, I swear! It’s time for the third annual One World, One Heart event, the brainchild of Lisa Swifka to make the worldwide blogging community feel just a little bit smaller and a little bit friendlier. This is an opportunity to meet people from around the globe (artists, photographers, writers and more) to see their lovely expressions of creativity and not only that, to possibly win cool stuff!

You can read more about the event and find other participants here (last time I checked the list was over 600), but here’s the lo down. Leave a comment on this entry by midnight, February 11th and on February 12th I will select a random winner to receive my contribution to this bloggy love-fest.

And what might that contribution be you ask? Well, I’ve been working on it non-stop since last week when I first read about the event. I call it a chicken wire purse, but it’s much cooler than it sounds so scroll on down for photos. It’s just large enough to hold an iphone/ipod/mobile device, credit card/money and your favorite lip gloss. I’ve only ever made these for family and loved ones and precious few at that as they are quite labor intensive! Each is a one-of-a-kind piece.

You don’t have to have a blog to play but you do have to leave me some way of contacting you in case you’re the lucky winner. If you want your name to be entered into the drawing twice, then tell me one way that you practice having compassion for yourself. I hear self love is the new black.

  1. OO i am so exited please enter me in this drawing!!! For compassion i listen to music!!

  2. The purse is so amazing, I feel like I ought to want to have it, but in fact, it’s so beautiful, I’m happy just to know it exists now. Nice work bringing into reality!

  3. Oops. I meant “bringing it into reality.”

  4. Such a wonderful creation! Please enter me!

  5. Oh that is right up my alley! Stunning!

    I’m an only child who spent hours in the company of books. Even today there are just not enough hours in the day to read!

    I would love to be entered in your drawing.

    Stop by & enter mine, too. I’m #640.

    Have a wonderful night!

  6. Oops, random book stuff is in my comment, sorry!

  7. That is so unique… I just have to be in your drawing 🙂

    For compassion… I pray

  8. Great giveaway, I can see it in my hall, hanging on the old kitchensomethingdontknowwhatthepeoplefrom1900somethinguseditfor. Hop over to my giveaway, nr 585.

  9. thats the coolest oddest thing in the entire of owoh and i mean that in the most complimentary way possible.

    it feels as though it possesses powers i can’t even guess at.
    the way you’ve shot it reminds me of lamps in morocco, one of my favorite places on the planet (see photos on my photo site at http://www.pbase.com/magpiejst if you like)

    i may have to print those words about self-love in large type and mount it over my monitor.

    in many ways having the blog, which i started a couple of months ago as i way to see myself more clearly, in virtual black and white, is my compassionate practice. thanks for that question by the way – made me pause and reflect, always a good thing.

    please come visit my blog and owoh giveaway – scroll down a bit on the blog at http://www.magpiesbeads.blogspot.com

  12. What a great purse…I’ve never seen anything like it! My daughter is going to be ALL OVER THIS ONE!!!!

  13. I adore that purse!!! Please enter me…m

  14. Compassion for one’s self or self love….hummm. Me thinks this must be done in moderation or it becomes pride and insensitivity. There is balance in all things though. I make sure to take time for ME everyday…whether I allow myself the time to curl up with a book, sew, or play on the puter, I take that time, but I need to be sure to be there for the relationships that are around me….

  15. Taking back everything mean I have ever said about purses.

  16. This purse is just beautiful and so unique – please enter my name in your drawing!!

  17. It’s beautiful! Please enter me in your drawing. And enter mine… OWOH # 642.

    jsneill@zoominternet.net

  37. Oh Jenny, that has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen all year! It’s fantastic, and appeals to me on so many levels – the size, the metallic wiriness, all the itty bitty bits and bobs attached – brilliant.
    In fact, if I don’t get lucky enough to win this, what are the chances I could buy one from you?….
    How I practice compassion for myself? Hmmm. Maybe by holding myself to standards I know I will appreciate later, kind of like my in-brain version of that teacher we all loved to hate in school, but as adults realize was one of the best things that happened to us.
    That, and going to the cupcakery once in a while, for big mug of coffee and a dainty treat, eaten with a fork, one little bite at a time to make it last.

    Oh, and conspiring how to buy something I really really want, like your spiffy wire bag. 😉

  38. I love your chicken wire purse! Please include moi! And stop by my OWOH!

  100. Oh, and I love the coin.

    AND, how I practice compassion for myself is to try to maintain a God-centered approach, and also to breathe slowly and deeply often, and to as often as possible remember that we’re all in this together, trying to make our way the best way we know how. One world and all. 😉 So that’s three and not one, and I don’t want to be entered twice because it wouldn’t be fair, but I wanted to share that and tell you how awesome I think you are!

  101. Greetings from Scotland … wow and wow, this is absolutley stunning, pleas enter me in your draw. I too have a OWOH giveaway over on my blog .. do stop by

  111. What a wonderful artistic purse! I would love this piece! Thank you so much for the chance!

  112. Really cool idea! So much to look at! I have compassion for myself by not blaming myself for not feeling better quickly (I am dealing with some sort of unknown chronic illness)

  113. Oh my gosh this is the most amazing piece I have seen. It is so full of emotion and depth. It is absolutely gorgeous. It speaks to me on such a contemplative level. It is so earthen and natural. I never would have guessed it was made with chicken wire. I love how all the beads are integrated with the wires and charms. It has so much feeling and emotion. It really stirs me. I can only imagine how textural it is, and how hightened all my senses would be.
    As for self love- I art journal. That is my escape, I give myself an hour a day to art journal, and escape and release.
    Please include me in your drawing.

  154. Awsome! Please add my name to your giveaway 🙂 As far as being good to myself, I realy have had to allow myself to rest as long and often as possible. I went too far shopping yesterday and spent all day today in bed. Most people don’t understand fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I often just wish my Dr. would find something else so I would have something to show others. I’m sory for putting a damper on the party.

  155. What an awesome giveaway! Please enter me for a chance to win this lovely purse! Very original and wonderful! Thanks,

    Your Chicken Wire Purse..Neat,Creative and definitely Unique..Love it:)

  179. Hi,

    WOW, this is a wonderful event!!! I’m from Oz the Land Down-Under. It’s very nice to ‘meet’ you. I’m in for my second year and I’m sure I’ll be back for more. Oh, I’d love to be entered for your give-away and if you haven’t dropped by my blog yet, then please do, I’m #838 in the Gypsy Caravan.

  180. wow,compassion for yourself is probably the hardest thing to accomplish.Well, I try to mirror my lack of compassion for myself, to the compassion I show towards others.If they are worth compassion,so am I, being of the same “nature “as any other human/living being.That stops me being to hard on myself and being such a hard taskmaster at times.You have to practice though, but it does get easier after a while and it makes your compassion towards others even greater.Your purse is wonderfull;it is full of so many lovely items and twists and turns, that it sort of tells a story.And what a lot of work has gone into it.Being made for OWOH especially makes it even more special, so please count me in.

  181. Oh my goodness, what an awesome OWOH giveaway and I hope the purse comes to my house. Thanks for sharing your very special art with us. Colleen

  182. This is fabulous! Wonderful work of art! Please enter me in your wonderful giveaway…I would love to win something the day after my 20th anniversary!

  196. I LOVE LOVE that purse!! What a wonderful piece of art. Seriously that is what it is a piece of art. Please enter me into your giveaway. I would be over the moon if I were to be lucky enough to win.

    As far as compassion for myself? I learned long ago that I am who I am and life is so much more fun when I accepted that. I always felt like I didn’t “measure up” and then I realized most people feel the same way about themselves. I am now exploring my creative side and LOVING it.

    I didn’t find out about OWOH until it was too late to join in (I will make sure I get in next time) but I do have a small giveaway on my blog. Please feel free to enter.

    I just discovered your blog, coming from the winner of this chicken wire bag, which I think is wonderful. I’m not sure what you mean about compassion for your self, but have you ever tried to list everything you did during a day, even when you think you accomplished nothing? The list will look pretty good, even when you aren’t feeling like you have justified your existence for that day. Also, the pictures of your four girls playing on the quilt will always bring back happy memories for all of you. Nancy

  226. […] lovely early birthday present that I got from Jenny, a beautiful chickenwire beaded purse, like the one she gave away on her blog, only this one has personal touches just for […]
