Today is the fifth and last giveaway in the
Birthday Week series! (I know, it's technically a "work week" with five days and not a "real week" with seven days.) The prize comes courtesy of
my shop with a little help from my friends.
One lucky winner will claim this amazing prize! It's composed of LOTS of goodies! The skulls are perfect for Halloween or could easily be incorporated into some really fun, edgy jewelry! Included are several carved bone skull beads, magnesite skull beads, wooden skull beads, a fine pewter skull pendant from
my family, vintage buttons, ceramics from
Elaine Ray, a bronze skull cross from
Candice Wakumoto, ceramics from Keith O'Connor,
a shibuichi skull from Bob Burkett, a shibuichi skull and crossbones pendant by Lea Anne Hartman, ceramic skull beads from
Gaea Ceramic Beads, polymer clay from
Pam Wynn, a sawdust and resin bead from
Priscilla Marban, a ceramic skull pendant based off of a New England tombstone by
Diane Hawkey, Czech glass, and a long strand of quartz chip beads from
Bead Trust. I've included work from some of my favorite beadmakers and jewelry artisans. Most of the skull beads are available in
the Skull section in my shop (or will be available for purchase starting in October). Work by Keith O'Connor will also debut in
my shop in October!
To win these beads is really easy. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. One person will be randomly selected from the comment section of this blog post on Monday (September 27th) at midnight EST. Do be sure to leave your name and contact information if it doesn't already appear in your comment! This giveaway is open to all participants, including international readers.

Hi Andrew, please count me in!
Cool mix. I'm not a big fan o skulls (though I like calaveras), but my sis love 'em as well as blue -- including turquoise -- so I'm commenting here, hoping for a chance to win these for her.
Beautiful skulls! My first visit to your blog, but definitely not my last!
Oh, I love them. These skulls are awesome!
Yay skulls! So gorgeous.
Very grungy & tribal. And I love skulls!

What a wonderful way to end your week of birthday celebration. The combination of treats from all these artists is a delight. Hope to win any of the choices, but if my number comes up for this one, there will be some serious partying and designing for October.
Hope your birthday is at least as special as this giveaway has been.
Oh, these would be so great to help me build stash and create wonderful (I hope) things. I am so new (and financially challenged) that this eclectic assortment would be so perfect! Thank you for making it available and, again, happy birthday!
Oh, I want!!! What I could do with these....
Happy Birthday and here's hoping for good medical news for you.
