BLOG GIVE AWAY!


I am celebrating my one year anniversary of selling my artwork on eBay! With the encouragement of my youngest sister, Jennifer of Hot Tamale Art Studio, I put my first paintings up on eBay last March. I have sold many, many paintings since then---and more importantly, I have made countless friends all over the world--most of them are fellow artists! Thank you all for your friendship, help, and inspiration... Just this week, Jenny of Wonders of Whimsy designed my blog banner for me! Doesn't the new look of my blog look great? Thanks, Jenny!

My new blog banner inspired this necklace I made for the give away. It consists of a small print of some of my artwork glued on collage paper with some charcoal shading around the picture. It is sandwiched between two pieces of 1.5" X 1.5" glass and soldered together with lead free solder. I strung it on a 36" length of cotton cord (knotted at the end) along with some glass beads.

To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog! I will put all the names in a hat and have a family member pick one on Saturday, March 21. Thank you everyone for helping me celebrate! Good Luck!
