Just a reminder:
Unique giveaway #1 – handcrafted tangle pattern book
Entries close on 30th August, draw on 31st August.
Unique giveaway #2 – A3 sized tangle featuring all 71 of my patterns
Entries close on 10th September, draw on 11th September. Currently no entries, so if you want it, you have minimal competition 😉
Ok, so I’m guessing it will be at some point while I’m asleep tonight, but I couldn’t wait a moment longer before sharing my celebratory prize with you! In recognition of a fantastic 25,000 views in less than six months, I have created my largest zentangle-inspired artwork (ZIA) to date. And it’s a giveaway!
Entitled ’71’, this A3-sized pen and pencil ZIA contains all seventy one tangle patterns I’ve published on this blog. This unique prize can be yours!
To have a chance of winning this one-of-a-kind prize, all you need to do is to create your own ZIA incorporating only patterns from my blog and share it with me by posting a link to your blog entry (preferred) or emailing a scan/photo of your creation via the link at the top of the sidebar (if you don’t have a blog). I don’t mind how many of my patterns you use, nor what size of ZIA you create. I hope to be able to create a gallery on my blog of all the entries to this challenge, celebrating your artistic exuberance. And to be fair to all-comers, I’ll select the winner by random draw of all entries. Entries close at 23:59 GMT on Saturday 10th September.
And thank you all for your interest, encouragement and for following my blog for the last five months 🙂
Drum roll please… bit louder… and building to a cymbal crash…
And the winner is … … … being contacted by email today! If your icon looks like a brown rabbit, it’s you! More details will be published as well as the final pics of the finished book as soon as I have permission to share details 🙂
The winner did not claim the prize after 10 days waiting, so I have done the draw again today (11-Jul-11), with the winner this time appearing to be from the Netherlands! Congratulations, and check your email – it shouldn’t register as spam, but just in case check there as well! More details as they come.
Dear readers – as promised, here are teaser pics of my subscriber draw prize book in recognition of 10,000 views of my blog 🙂
The cover is hand-tangled with my own designs [it’s taken ages!] and will be personalised with the initial letter of the winner’s choosing before being sealed with a gloss varnish finish. It’s a hand-crafted book [which took ages too!], with hard cover and sewn and glued spine.
Inside are colour copies of all my tangle patterns from January to June 2011, and the eight tags will contain hand-drawn tangles, with tips on shading and may be even a unique and unpublished, exclusive tangle pattern.
Remember, to be entered in the draw, subscribe to my blog using the ‘Sign me up!’ button in the side bar on my blog home page by midnight on 30th June 2011. Subscribing to comments or any other page will not enter you into the draw. The winner will be drawn at random from my subscriber list and I’ll contact you by email if you are that lucky person. Good luck 🙂
Dear readers – in anticipation of my 10,000th view of this ‘ere blog, I’m in the middle of constructing a one-of-a-kind handcrafted book of my tangle patterns, complete with hand drawn tangles and tips. Pictures to follow, but I wanted to give you all the heads-up. This will be given away to one of my blog subscribers, drawn at random from my subscribers list as it stands at midnight on 30th June. So keep an eye out for the prize pics, and if you haven’t become an email subscriber, then click the ‘sign me up’ button at the top of the right hand sidebar. Good luck!
Ok, so it’s nearly spring… but the colours I’d used to make the background papers inspired an autumnal theme! This is my first attempt at creating decoupage sheets suitable for many things, but I had art journaling in mind when I came up with the sketches. Please feel free to print out the sheets and use the images in your own art projects. If you share the sheets, please make sure my name is still on them. The sheets may not be copied as a part or a whole to be re-sold in any format without my permission. I’d love to know what you used them for!
Click on the images to open an A4 size version that you should be able to save and print out. If you would like a high resolution version, let me know.
