Appreciation Giveaway

Hello friends,
I wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful comments since I started blogging.  I appreciate your encouragement and also your words of wisdom.  It has been so much fun meeting everyone.
In celebration of my upcoming 250th post I put together a giveaway to share with one of you. 
right click on the picture to see the prizes better
I am giving away the following to one winner:
--Large Fabric Bag--
 This bag is large enough to hold a quilt. 
I made this using a floral fabric with a black background.
It has a red dot fabric lining with pockets and fabric ties. 
The handles are soft and large enough to put on your shoulder.

--Small Art Doll--
Made with a sage smudge stick,
polymer clay, fabric,
sari yarn and recycled sari ribbon
plus trim. 
She is about 4-5 inches and she and her baby are
bundled up for winter.

--Wood Slices--
These are 12 different size (about 1in. or so) mesquite wood slices,
that you can use for stands for small art dolls,
drill holes and use them for button embellishments,
and more.

--Graffiti Page--
One 12in. by 18in. graffiti page
that is made using turp paper on watercolor paper,
to use how you wish.
You can also make copies of this graffiti paper
and use it in many different projects.

--Small Art Quilt--
9in. by 12in.
My own hand dyed leaf print,
free motion stitching, and
with hanger on back.
This can even be added to,
to make it your own.

--Rust Fabric--
Three approximately 11 in. by 14 in. pieces
of my own rusted muslin fabric,
to use in any of your projects.

You have a lot happening. Using turpentine instead of citrasolve makes me think I want to try this technique. Congratulations on your blogging accomplishments.

Hi Yvonne, so nice making your acquaintance on the Decidedly Different Dolls group.

elle said...

I have been thinking and I have no idea where I am going to fit doll making into a somewhat jammed agenda of must have's, will do's and, if only's. But now I'll need to follow you as you create your little gals. I'm sure I'm going to be happy to be here.

Jan Leonhardt said...

Wow! What a lovely give away! Maybe someday I will actually have a blog and will be doing enough artwork that I can do give aways too. I am interested in participating in your give away and I will become a follower too. I love your art dolls.

Oh yes, and happy birthday! I am also a Pisces.

How sweet of you to be so giving on your birthday. Please enter me in your lovely give away, I see a bunch of fun things. Also thanks for stopping by. Frugal is a good thing, at least that is how I justify all my hoarding and thriftique finds. But at least I am having fun.
