One World One Heart Giveaway

Photo
I have entered the giveaways on several people's blogs and I think it is time for me to join in the fun. My giveaway is for one of my handmade beads in your choice of two colors, in addition I will include one of my prints see the prints at my etsy art shop. Your bead can be either a heart or a skull, depending on whether your heart is bright and playful or hides a dark center like my fun skulls. Here are some samples of the beads I made last night. I promise yours won't be smoked like a few of these.
Just leave me a comment and on Feb. 12th one of my granddaughters will draw out the winner. Be sure to visit the other participants. There are tons of folks participating so you can have chances to win lots of great things. Above all else, have fun!!! What a great way to connect with other bloggers.

Hi there Rita,
I love your beads and my eyes went right to the little skull one--that is so cool!! Day of the Dead if=s one of my favorite art subjects yet this is the first time I have seen glass scull beads like that. As I was lamenting on another glass artists blog I really must visit an artist or see a demonstration on how these beads are created. It's really fascinating. Please enter me too and I wish to send you much peace and happy bead making! M.
