2 x giveaways: skull beads and colourful beading wire

This week, Sara AKA SoftFlexGirl is giving away a Trios package of beading wire in the cool colour combo Egg Hunt: Purple Amethyst, Green Turquoise and Chrysoprase. It's a somewhat daring combination I probably would never make myself and perhaps that's why I'm so attracted to it. It looks like an interesting challenge. And I'm not the only one who likes this one.



From spring and a cool palette to a handful of "earthtone"skulls. It's Andrew Thornton who's giving away some skull beads and a pendant from his shop. Materials vary: from boxwood (carved ojime bead) and bone to ceramics and shibuichi.

While I personally am not a big fan of skulls -- though I kind of like some of the sugar skull/calavera inspired ones as a change -- my sis quite fancy them. So this week I think'll enter on her behalf. In my eyes -- owning more beads than anything else -- her bead stash is a bit meager. It could be a nice contribution to her skull bead collection.
