Holiday 2021 giveaway: Alaska art jewelry.

by

I’ve been doing intermittent giveaways of Alaska-made items, in order to support the local economy. Today I realized that Hannukah starts on Nov. 28, and that we have only about five more weeks before Christmas and Kwanzaa. Clearly it’s time for a holiday 2021 giveaway, no matter which holiday(s) you observe.

My friend Linda B’s jewelry has done so well in the past that I’m putting some of it back up for grabs. You can read more about her backstory in the first giveaway write-up. Short form: She’s talented in fields other than jewelry, and she’s also awesome.

As is her jewelry. She started out with beading, and has lately become entranced with metalwork and resin capture. If you want to give gifts to a spouse, lover, friend or, heck, even to yourself, I can guarantee that these are one-of-a-kind pieces. Linda never repeats herself, so every jewelry work is unique and never to be repeated.

Her work is arresting, and it’s hard to pick favorites, but here are the items I will be giving away this time around.

Pendant 1

Pendant 2

Pendant 3

Pendant 4

 

Pendant 5

Pendant 6

 

Each piece comes with a chain or cord. If you prefer to swap out one for the other, just let me know so I can have Linda fix it.

The winner can take his or her pick from among the pictured works. Can’t decide? I will be happy to arrange a purchase with Linda and then mail two (or more) pieces to you.

That goes for those of you who aren’t chosen as the winner, too. If you want to purchase one (or more) of these pieces, I can make that happen.

Again: Great holiday gifts, birthday gifts or Valentine’s Day gifts, if you like to get your shopping done early. Your recipient won’t get anything like this anywhere else. And you get bonus bragging rights for having bought from an independent artist in Alaska.

For your chance(s) to win, do one or more of the following:

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Subscribed via e-mail” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

The deadline for entering is 6 p.m. PST Wednesday, Nov. 17. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 6 p.m. PST Thursday, Nov. 18, I’ll have the random number generator select a new name.

Note: Due to the high cost of international shipping, this giveaway is limited to U.S. residents.

  77. I’ve just subscribed via email because I couldn’t figure out how to find you on Facebook. But, I would love pendant number 2 – they are all absolutely beautiful.

    I actually live in the UK but my family are all in the USA so I could have it sent to my sister and get her to forward it to me.
