First up is the colourful and detailed felt and wire skulls from RawBone Studio's Halloween and Day of the Dead folk art shop! Robin's whimsical and playful decor is perfect for your own altar of the dead or spooky October home. Robin loves primitive, naive and colorful folk art with a little humor slipped in. And where did the name RawBone come from? According to Robin " my nickname is Rawbone... and it stuck."
RawBone's fancy skull garlands.
There are also some clever recycled sardine can skulls in the RawBone Shop made by an artist high on omega3 fish oil. Why? Because Joe (Robin's friend and schoolmate who’s art she adores) had to eat all the sardines to get the can!As a special treat there will be one of these most excellent tin can skulls up for grabs to one lucky commenter. But wait...there's more giveaways to come!Next up are the craftiest gals in town...the Sister Outlaws and a selection of their cool sugar skull kits. They have very fancy and decorative sugar skull bag tag kits available to buy full of buttons, doily bits, lace, ric rac and felt, not to mention a pattern, instructions and a needle and yarn. And just about to be released are the sugar skull coin purse kits. How cool are these!
Re-Sew- Cool! And we are lucky enough to have a kit to giveaway. So that's two great giveaways so far.
And finally, because it's my blog and I'm feeling all inspired by these generous giveaways, I am throwing in a Betty Jo skull brooch as a final giveaway item.So just leave a comment if you want to be in the running. I will choose three winners.
The giveaway will run till November the 1st....when the official Day of the Dead festivities begin.
Good luck and tell your friends!

Wow! What a great giveaway! It's definitely the Day of the Dead time of year. I'm working on some lino prints with D-of-D themes (not blogging at the moment) so feel extra inspired.

ReplyDeleteMe muero de amor!
ReplyDeleteRawbone rocks. Love those calaveras.
ReplyDeletePeople why are you so skull-crazy??
ReplyDeleteNo offence meant to the lovely creative people of this site, just a though to get you to think:
Has death become the fashion? Even little girls are nowadays dressed in pink skull-printed frocks and pretty little shoes. Do you really want to imprint death on your kids, on yourself? Think a bit people!! Death is a dead end, an eternal darkness, whichever way you look at it. Why would that be attractive at all? Rather become interested in, seek out and stand for LIFE!
