Since it is in fact my favorite month of the year…August, I thought I would celebrate with all of my favorite people out there (that’s you, reading this right now!) with a giveaway.

This month I am featuring an all natural wood and moss necklace – hand crafted to imperfection by me – Mr. Lentz. The wood is stained with an all-natural, non toxic mix created with walnut husks and vinegar. The moss is real and has been dried and preserved so you don’t have to water it! Just wear, enjoy, repeat, and tell all of your friends and family that you won it on MrLentz.com

Winners will be picked at random based on the entry rule or two below.

First Place: The Wood and Moss Necklace of course! Shipped right to your front door.

Second Place: You get to pick out a fish (from the photo below) that I am going to put in my fish tank. (I need more fish, the others are lonely)

    crusty old books with that great mossy smell and of course surfing… if only I could figure out a way to take pen and paper out with me…

    Sinister hair, cotton flowers and cold blues inspire me.

    And I just don’t think second place is fair at all. That poor little Hatchet fish, that face! He looks mortified by the shear thought that anyone could pick over him.

    Facebooked it out!

    Rich, deep, intense colour inspires me and I love to touch fabric – It reminds me of hugs, shelter, comfort, expression and creativity.

    Tweeted it out!

    Oh and I stumbled it AND G+ it to my circles as well. My blog has no followers so I figured that was a little more relevant 🙂

    liked you on facebook!!! I had actually featured you on my blog awhile back 😉 when I was window shopping for my birthday!

    What inspires me? What doesn’t inspire me is more the question!!! But, if I have to hone it down I would say…..old vintage maps, freshly harvested high desert sagebrush, the smell of the desert after a monsoon rain, found rocks and small unusual wood chips. And right now, 180 Degrees South. A MUST SEE! (although I’m sure you have seen it already ;))

    And what the hell inspires me? Well, I am in love with fashion. I’m inspired by soft pastels, lace, and feminine silhouettes. I love looking at beautifully draped clothing. I’m also inspired by architecture, especially modern designs.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on one of your pieces!
    And I’ve liked you on facebook.

    Hi! 🙂
    First, I love your work is super original.
    I really inspired the sunny days and warm, singing birds and the silence of my house early in the morning. I am inspired a book and a story, a movie, a song. I think it depends on how I feel, but basically these are some of the things that cause me a boost.

    Shared in google+, FB & twitter. Thanks for the opportunity!

    “Inspiration is everywhere” is the tag line on my own blog so I would say that there is no limit to what can inspire, from the mundane every day flotsam and jetsam of life to high art, music, food and of course the people you love!

    Enjoy the day!

    What the hell inspires me??? When I close my eyes at night and see colors, designs, shapes and space dancing in my head, I am inspired to quit my job and give myself more time to find that place during the rest of my life. Since it started happening about a year ago, I have found more and more time to create and enjoy sharing my work with others. I plan to be a full-time creator in the near future because it’s as if it is calling me.

    hi mr.lentz, thank you so much for your invitation, your giveaway necklace is quite amazing..
    so. travelling inspires me the most, the farther and longer – the better. sometimes when I come back home to ireland my mind refuses to return and i sleep-walk for some time, digesting the new impressions. with every new (or sometimes even revisited) place that perspective expands just a little bit further, opens some new doors inside. to me this is inspiration..

    What inspires me: nature, colors and rainy days.
    Love being at home when it rains- it just makes me brainstorm on what I want to do or make- plus I love the smell of rain!

    I think it might be easier to list the things that don’t inspire me! I’m inspired by growth, by the seasons, by cartoons, by the post office and machines, I’m inspired by coffee, old bicycles, and lists.

    I liked your facebook page. My inspiration is found in the little details. Today I was taking pictures of jellyfish tentacles… it helps that I work at an aquarium, lots of inspiration there. You should come pick out a bigger fish for your tank 😉

    Hello there!!
    What the hell inspires me? Well, a hell of a lot! Mainly the great Earth, a breathtaking view, a warm breeze, the ocean, a sun shiny day, a heartfelt conversation, truth, love-in all it’s forms and other artists doing what they were born to do.
    Thanks for this great opportunity!!
    Good luck all!! 🙂

    I’m constantly inspired. By extreme feelings and gut reactions.

    Extremely happy.or.extremely sad.

    Neruda got it. So did e.e.
    no labels (manic, crazy, whathaveyou) i simply FEEL. EXTREMELY.

    I’m inspired by the simplicity of my cat Minxy.

    Nature, and the beauty in every day never cease to amaze me. (No imaginary friends, though.)

    I’m inspired by happiness and happy people.

    I’m inspired by a certain Mr. Ebert’s constant creativity.

    Oh, and pay phones inexplicably capture my attention.

    I know that was more than one sentence. I blogged quite simply, though: http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/fashionbybecca
    and I shared/liked on FB http://www.facebook.com/becca.bussert 🙂

    I am so so so inspired by faded paint and worn away textures. I love it when nature hits and life wears…crumbling paint, falling down fences, rusty metal, old textiles LOVE IT and stitching, weaves, knits, textile textures floaty my boaty

    I’m inspired by a LOT of random things, but if I had to pick only one inspiring thing, it would be a whole morning on a swedish beach, doing nothing but admiring the baltic sea and the wild gooses.

    I am inspired by antique books, vintage patterns, and fresh herbs. My forays into herbdum (not really a work huh?) are still a work in progress!

    I’m inspired watching plants change even throughout a single day. August is particularly an inspirational month as plants are doing so many things each day of this month.

    Liked you on facebook. Literally everything inspires me and I am told that because I can make all these strange connections from seemingly disjointed information, that it makes everything I do unique and artistic.

    the Rocky mountains, hiking up the flat irons and looking over the plains, the night sky and cacti are all inspirations for me!

    waaaah! how in the world did i forget to submit an entry for this? i was in rush when i saw this in my google reader and then forgot to come back to it to enter! gaaaaah!

    so sorry to hear about your fish. 🙁 but, i am curious to see what new one will be added to the tank. i think all those choices are pretty cool myself. actually, this past weekend, i spent some time nursing one of our 3 guppies back to health. my son had brought home a guppy as part of a mini aquaponics system he made in summer school. unfortunately, the system failed, and we were left with a guppy…his pet that he named steve. now i felt badly for steve and did research on guppies, and now we have a 2.5 gallon tank and two friends for steven. anyways…one of the three was sick, but i think all is good now. now that was a sneaky way for my son to have a “pet!” ha ha ha!

    congrats to the winners! 🙂 what a fun contest that was! 🙂
