Let’s raise some money to support early detection, improved testing, and finding a cure for ovarian cancer. Thanks in advance for supporting the auction. Special thanks to the artists who contributed charms to the necklace: Sanna Burgess, Barbara Burkard, Judy Evitts, Peggy Gatto, Angie Hall-Haviland, Caryl Hoobler, Kimberly Moore, Carol Myrick, Tally Oliveau, Tanya Peacock, and Jennifer Rogers-Daniels. And . . . a huge hug filled with appreciation to Peggy who initiated this project and took all of the charms to create this amazing piece of wearable art.
To open up your creative spirit, you need to become one with your media. Spiral certainly has accomplished that. This is not only a beautiful video but an inspiration to remind us that we need to connect our “inner selves” with the paint brush, canvas, papers, metal, etc. It reminds us that our art needs to become an extension of our spirit.
Walking home from work today, I came across a couple of magnolias on a stem. Inspiration comes from all sources. After scanning, creating a new digital piece was inevitable. Hope you enjoy it.
All comments coming in after this time are not included in the draw. There were 32 comments at close. One was actually a double. Even though someone posted twice by accident - their name is only entered once.
The winner will be drawn when my niece arrives this evening. Winner’s name will be posted here and that person will also be contacted via email.
Weekdays you will find me working at a homeless shelter for women and children. Every year we have a super fun doll art benefit, “Every Doll Needs a Home”. This is the time of year that I send out a call for dolls. Doll makers/artists from all over donate their creations and we auction them off - all proceeds going to the home.
The doll pictured is :
“Maude the Artist” - Designed and Created by Nancy Laverick
I realize this is not a doll site but many of you who create dolls or know someone else who does may want to jump in and help. Just in case, here is the url for the “Every Doll Needs a Home” website containing all the information you should need and also full contact info:
The votes are in. The results were pretty even. “Abandon” was the most popular one on the internet so I have decided to put it up for grabs. Everyone who posts a comment to this “Blog Giveaway” update has a chance.
Everyone’s name will be printed up, tossed in a bag, and next Monday, April 21st, my niece will draw out the winner’s name. I will post the winner’s name anytime between Monday and Wednesday evening (EST). Be sure to check back to see if you’re the winner!
(Drawing officially ends Monday April 21st 4p.m. EST)
