art & give away

I am finally able to share my finished pieces for the swaps I have recently participated in since they have been received by my partners. The piece above went to Jeanne for Jenny's Bits n Pieces swap. I was really happy with how it turned out and she tells me she loves it but now after seeing all the other great art that was sent I would probably do some things different. Oh well, next time...

Also, I haven't heard back but I am sure Risa must have received the crown I sent to her. I haven't gotten mine yet so that might be why she hasn't posted yet. I was reluctant to start but once I did it was so much fun and I can see more crowns in my future. I really am pleased with how it turned out and it was cool that she also loved pink and green together.

The pictures do not show the final final piece with rhinestones and more ribbon loops added to the bottom to cover the glue spots.

Ok, finally, I promised a give away last week and never posted it so I am now!! I have been busy doing digital work in the form of business cards, banners and watermarks brushes for those who like to watermark protect their photos. I have not updated my website with these latest offerings because basically I just want to REDO it but I have been waiting on Hope for some assistance. She is pretty busy so I might just have to tackle it myself. Anyway, I digress... back to the give away... I am offering 2 prizes for those who care to leave comments on this post. the prize is a custom blog or Etsy banner or a custom digital brush which can be used with Photoshop or Elements to protect photographs. The caveat is that if you win and I make you the brush I will ask you to also provide a small link on your site or blog crediting me for the work. If this is something you are interested in, please leave a comment that INCLUDES contact information!! and which thing you'd be interested in.

Good luck!!

    p.s. I like your "bits and pieces" -- especially the part with the egg in the circle with the buttons. Simply beautiful!

  2. I am desperate need of both, but I've never seen anything as cool as those watermark brushes! One of those would be awesome. I love the two you posted below!

    Also, your new business cards are so pretty and so you :)

  3. I would love an etsy banner! I have it on my "to do" list but somehow it keeps getting bumped (too many swaps I think.) Thanks for the great blog.

  5. I am glad you didn't look at the other collages before you made mine 'cause I absolutely love it...I wouldn't change a thing!

    I could use a new banner...I never get around to changing mine. So boring!

  15. I love your Bits & Pieces Art!!! I wanted to participate in the swap too but I couldn't because of time restraints.

    I would be thrilled if I won a banner. Then I would be forced to create a blog and Etsy shop - instead of just talking about it.

    What has been stopping me is mastering a digital camera.

  16. I would love the to enter your giveaway. If I am the lucky winner I would be interested in the photo watermark, so long as someone could teach me how to use one. Or a banner, who knows... let's see if I win first, huh? Thanks for giving us the chance to play...
