100th snail giveaway!

I am now working on snail #108. As promised I am giving away the 100th snail and here she is.

Vadoma the fortune teller snail
Vadoma the fortune teller snail


The base is from a limb I saved from a Cherry tree that was stuck by lightning in my mom's yard 5 years ago. One other snail has this same base. I have covered the bottom with felt dots to prevent it from scratching any furniture it is placed on.
The snail and mushroom cap holding the gazing ball were hand sculpted by me. The beautiful rug and the tarot cards were made by GreenGypsies. Click her name to visit her etsy shop. It is full of amazing things!

You could win Vadoma.

 To enter just reply to this post. You do not have to have a blogger account to reply but you must use a username. Anonymous replies with no username will not qualify to enter.

 For extra entries... Let me know if you follow this blog. Promote this giveaway on a networking site like your blog, twitter, facebook (in a public post), G+, plurk, etc. Just leave the link to the post so I will know. Each one will count as another entry.

I will ship it anywhere. Just know that if you are outside the U.S. you may be required to pay Customs fees on a $40 value.

Drawing will be held on Sunday, October 28th at 4pm Central Time. Winner will be announced right here on my blog.
