Pop Quiz Drawing Prizes

Well, I'm pleased to report that I have been working hard on some new items. I have created a one-of-a-kind bracelet for last week's drawing winner, and I think I've finished the prize for this week's as well. Care to see?

 When I told Amanda that she'd won and asked her what she wanted, she gave me an excited non-answer-- How is it that someone can have "Yay" and "I don't care" in the same comment? But when I started thinking about what she would like, I looked through my "this-is-cool-but-what-to-do-with-it?" pile, and this oval flower caught my eye. I added in some muses I've been entertaining lately, and this is what I got! I'm pretty happy with it. The back half is just a chain, and the front half is kind of heavy, so I added a little dangle of leaves to counter it. It seems to work pretty well. 

Another item I've been playing with lately is the cuff bracelet. I've created several, and I think this week's prize will be one of them. This one (below), to be exact. Guess now or forever hold your peace! :)

Alright, we'll try this again. You were sadly unexcited about the last one-- could only three of you figure it out? I'm fine with random guesses, just say something! Last week's picture was an elephant. If you have trouble seeing it, the part that's wrapped in wire is the tusk, the trunk is turned in, the ear is on the left, and the eye is in the center.  Well, it's towards the top in the center. I'm pleased to say that of the three responses I got, all three were correct. I was hoping more of you would participate, but I guess it's a good start. :) As promised, those three people were entered in a drawing, and the winner is... (drum-roll please)... Amanda Kittelson! :) Congratulations, and good luck next time, to all of you. Speaking of next time: here's the new picture.

This is an abstract one, so it might be a little tougher. It's a pendant for a necklace, and I want you to tell me what it represents. Go with your gut and you'll probably be right. And if you're not sure what it is, guess anyway. I really want my inbox FULL of guesses. Really.

Please send your guesses by 8pm on Saturday October 30th (Friday didn't work for me so well this time- hopefully on Saturday I can put out the next one right away). Email them to mareniduna@hotmail.com with the subject line "Mareniduna Pop Quiz."  If you would rather send me a note on Facebook or a note through Etsy, you're welcome to do it that way too. Like last time, the correct guesses will be entered in a drawing to win your choice of a custom piece of jewelry or a custom portrait.

Pop Quiz Drawing

I've discovered that some of my creations aren't obviously identifiable.  I thought this one was obvious until I showed a few people and no one could figure it out. Of the 12 people I've shown it to so far, only 1 has figured it out. Guesses? You have one week (answers due by 8pm on Friday October 22). Send guesses to mareniduna@hotmail.com. Correct guesses will be entered in a drawing to win your choice of a custom piece of jewelry or a custom portrait. Enter as many answers as you like; if you get it right, you'll only be entered in the Drawing once. Let the games begin!
