Thank you so much for all who entered. Letter Lady won the stencils and Susan in Seattle won the artwork. Stay tuned for ongoing contests during the Book Tour.
Ok, has anybody noticed we are falling behind, yikes! What can I say, life has intervened as it tends to do. But we are not going to miss a week 'cause I've got cool stuff to give away.So, for Week #9 we meet up with Katie Kendrick, another guest artist in my book. Katie made an extraordinary cardboard book and when it arrived at my home, I swear it was vibrating with some kind of Katie-love. I stood and held it in my hands - simply awestruck by its raw beauty. And that was the beginning of my love affair with cardboard. So inexpensive yet so fun. Oh the options!
I got to hang out with Katie last week (and her drum, which she made). You see, I traveled out to Artfest a couple days early to hide away in a beach house. It was nice to acclimate to the time change and to also cool my jets before my classes started. I was with several friends and we were so lucky when Katie and Judy Wise visited us. Oh my goodness did we have fun!
Katie is up to a ton of neat things these days, including her only teaching gig of the year which is in Malibu. She has a couple more openings (just a few) if you want to jump in. I mean it is Katie, after all. In Malibu, after all. Sigh......you think I could fit into your luggage?
And yes, we do have a contest this week! TWO, in fact! You need to hop over to Katie's blog to enter the first one. It is another piece of encaustic art. That last one was such a big hit, I thought I would offer up another.
Go now. To Katie's BLOG and enter for this encaustic art, cause you know you want it. And, in case you are wondering why the piece is a different orientation on Katie's Blog, well, that's because I can't decide which way it goes......so there are options.
And.......drumroll please......my new set of stencils is Give Away #2. These are the 'baby' version and are 5" x 6" - Calligraphy, Urban Jungle & Retro Comets. They are a lot of fun and I think you will like them. To enter for the stencils, just leave me a comment below. Not sure when Katie and I are going to end this, we'll give it a few days at least.
