Wow we don't have these in Australia but they certainly look cool with endless possibilities.
I would fill them with glass frit (sealing it of course) and the place one of my glass fused cabochons in the centre - made with the same frit.
Thanks for a great giveaway yet again.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for putting together another great giveaway! I've been seeing these in blogs a lot recently and I'd love to try them out. I think I'd work with polymer clay in the channel, then hang a cool charm or focal in the center. I might also use them to experiment with resin.

I have been reading about these as well. Curious to try them out. I am all about the resin right now so I think that I would do something with that. And I would love to see if these could be colored first, with alcohol inks or something.
Enjoy the day!

i think i would try to make a resin project. put a mini design at the back and maybe a charm embedded inside.
I'd fill them with polymer clay for sure!
I've seen these on Katie's blog. They look like they have many uses. I think they would look great with polymer clay, but since I've never used polymer I would probably fill with a pretty paper and resin.

would love to try these out, I haven't tried resin yet either so would probably try my hand at it with these!
Well I would fill them with fibers and some little small tiny swarovski crystals a few sprinkled in. Thank you for your Giveaway! ox
I have been eyeing these since I read about them and I thank you for this wonderful giveaway. I would line the grooves with silk and fill them with gemstone or crystal rondelles.
wOW - WHERE would I start? fill them with resin and some seed beads....or maybe I would use my polymer clay and then stamp words in them - place on a necklace.....Fall is coming - wouldnt leaves, berries look great in them.....endless ideas....
Hi Andrew. I read your blog weekly, but have never left a comment. Not sure why I have remained a silent reader but changing that today. First, let me say that I like your blog content. You write very spontaneously and that is what keeps me interested. Don't change a thing.
I envision using the katiedids for dried flowers and resin or perhaps broken glass in a mosiac like pattern with resin.
I'm very curious about Katiedids. I've seen them in other blogs, but have not seen them in any stores (yet). I don't have a plan, but I'd love to get my hands on them. Then maybe beads, polymer clay, fibers, etc.
Thank you for the chance to win them!!
Also, about your blog content - love the recipes, garden pics, kitty pics, beautiful PA scenery (I'm in PA too!). Just keep doing what you like!!
Excellent! I am wanting to try these out. I may go down to the fall Best Bead show in Tucson and visit the Beadalon booth.

Hmmm. good question. I'm only coming up with resin at the moment, but they look deep enough to embed lots of "stuff" into the resin. If I win them, I'll let you know what I did with them!

i would fill them with coiled copper and back with a larger textured copper disc. maybe dapped, with a patina, and big enough to cradle the whole thing. copper and silver, definately.
I would love to see these filled with glass,what a great component!
These bezels look really fun! I would fill them with polymer clay, resin and whatever else I could find to experiment with! I see they are available in Katie's online shop...I wonder if they will be available in craft stores? Thanks for the giveaway!!
Lisa
I would wire wrap them with small beads and probably solder something on top since solder is my new love...
Thanks for sharing
I would fill them with beads and then bead embroider around them. they would be interesting I think.
Hmmmm...sari ribbon? "float" seed beads in resin? Love the coiled wire idea!
I'm wondering what they'd look like with stone beads inside and then suspended on a macrame cord?
I have this vision of beautiful crystals in them. Gorgeous.
I am thinking shards of acrylic paint(I scrape dried schmeers off my palatte and they look like textural flower petals) with seed bead centers...

i would fill it with polymer clay and rhinestones!
I would fill them with polymer clay canes (handmade) and crystals.
Я вот тоже хотела бы снова попытать счастья в розыгрыше этих замечательных нитей!
I'm thinking that round glass pearls wound with ribbon -- white pearls with black ribbon in order to offset the silver of the component -- inset in the channel for a clean modern look with a classic twist.
Or, perhaps epoxy with micro glass beads varying the color so that the colors blend/shade into the other, but leaving the surface uneven to create a tactile feel of curves; then place it all on a long chain.
What would you do? :)

I work also with polymer clay and I have some interesting canes I came up with and I'm thinking the components would look really sharp with my clay designs in them.
Great findings to experiment with !
Thanks for showcasing different products as giveaways.
