Oooo....look what I won!

I entered a drawing hosted by Artist Halloween Queens, not expecting to win...but I did.  When I got home the other day there was a package waiting for me.

My prize was neatly wrapped in these wonderful "Halloween" tissue paper with the artist's card and a sweet little note too.

As I excitedly worked my way through the layers of tissue..

there he was, my Dracula Bat Ornie!  He was more spectacular than I expected. The details that Karen of Hope in the Heart of Darkness put in to the making of this fabulous Halloween ornament is remarkable.  She didn't miss a single stitch or fiber, just check out the loop on the top hat and the beads on the feet. 

 

This little guy measures an impressive 9" tall with his wing span of 8.5" wide.  Dracula is made from felt, satin, ribbons, beads and crystals for the eyes and buttons.  I love the fact she put in so much details that you can hang him upside down or right side up.

I had been checking him out for awhile before discovering her wonderful touch of her very own artistic tag (underneath his cape...I just love it).

I just can't seem to say enough about this awesome prize and all the workmanship that went in to him.  But doesn't he have the greatest face...LOL!

 

Thanks to all the wonderful artists and Karen for such a wonderful drawing and prize.  Be sure to stop by the Artistic Halloween Queens blog for there are many talented artists there and Karen's blog to see more of her wonderful work at Hope in the Heart of Darkness. She is a sculptor and 3-D artist with many different mediums, just amazing work.

Now I can't wait for Halloween...I think I'll hang him up for inspiration!

Bright blessings

OK....wheew...out of breath after that!  LOL!  So when I received the email announcing I was the winner of this amazing Art Doll, I have to say first I was in shock and had to read it again, then went into my "happy dance".  This beautiful fairy art doll was handcrafted from polymer clay by Martha Ayala deHarris.  She enjoys painting on all kinds of surfaces, from canvas & paper to gourds and wood. Martha loves having a lot of texture in her paintings and splurges on color.  To see more of her work please visit her shop, blog and flickr.

Look what I won during OWOH Blog Event...

First I'd just like to say how much fun it was visiting everyone's blogs.  There are some very talented artists out there in all types of mediums.  Each blog was very unique and fascinating.  Believe it or not I went to each and everyone who was participating (minus mine and Ametista) in the "One World One Heart 2010 Magic Carpet" blog event.

So, I'd like to thank Linda for picking my name to win this beautiful original mixed media painting on canvas.  I was very excited to have won this because the young lady in the painting just really caught my eye and I love the way Linda painted her hair to look all swirly or like a whimsical tree.  Be sure to check out some of Linda's other artistic offerings on her blog at http://my-littlebit.blogspot.com and on her flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylittlebit/.  Now on with what I won!

And last but not least, THANK YOU Lisa Swifka ...

of http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/a_whimsical_bohemian/

...for having a great idea and sharing it with the world!

Take part in this exciting global event!

WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

We are so excited be involved in this global networking event. This is the forth year of this huge blog giveaway, but it's our first time participating...how fun! We are very much looking forward to meeting new and interesting bloggers out there in the blog universe.

Here's a little something about 'One World One Heart'...
Lisa Swifka of 'My Life as a Whimsical Bohemia' created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway
event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may
never ordinarily meet. Lisa says, "It closes the gap of the blog community and
enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the
process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way". As of 2009, 911 bloggers from 28 countries participated. Can't wait to see the total this year!

In Lisa's words, "It
transcends geographical location, socio economics, political
affiliation, religious beliefs......it's a coming together like the
giant community we are on this planet. If only it took a simple
giveaway to create PEACE everywhere, in the mean time here we give from
our hearts. We are not solving the worlds problems nor are we curing
anything nor are we changing the world. We are merely generating a
closer community between humans through blogging."

Contest starts NOW and ends February 15, 2010
