Enter to win a copy of Diary 2010 + a visit with Fantazya - CONTEST CLOSED

Guess what?! It's time for a new Thursday Giveaway
If you'd like to see the winner of this morning's drawing for the J. Brown print click here

Lucky Me! I had the good fortune to take part in the creation of today's prize. Lucky You! This is your chance to win it!! The new Thursday Giveaway prize is a copy of Diary 2010. This functional piece of art had a number of collaborators from all around the globe.


What is Diary 2010? It is the brainchild of photographer/ fashion designer Lucy Baribeau from Fantazya. For the 3rd year, she sent out a call to artists around the web. (I heard about it from Ewian an artist & blogger from Norway). Each participant signed up for at least 1 day in the year. The task was to create a page in black in white that would be artistic ,yet would function as a usable diary page. Each page is dated in 3 languages (English, French & Spanish).

To see a list of participating artists & more pages from the Diary, go to www.fantazya.ca/diary2010.html. You can also order 1 printed and bound or on CD. I've scanned a couple of pages from my copy to show you here. I'm really happy with how it came out & picked some up for gifts (good thing my family doesn't follow my blog )

I had so much fun making my page I decide to do a couple more. You can see my 3 designs in this July blog post.


You can also purchase the diary from Lucy's Etsy shop, Fantazaya. The diaries she sells there have wonderful decorated covers. The diary that has been donated for next Thursday's random drawing has a plain cover that you can decorate yourself. It measures approx. 4.25" x 7" and is spiral bound. It has 382 pages (364 date pages, 12 month pages, 8 address pages, 3 note pages, 2 introduction pages & 2 year pages) each with a unique design.

Prize looks just like this except it has a clear spiral binding.

It's easy to enter next Thursday's Random Drawing:

Just leave a comment on this blog before 1 a.m. (EST) on 11/19 and you are in. It is that easy. There will be 1 winner picked by Random.org. Just make sure you have contact info in your profile or comment. Contest is open worldwide. Shipping is free.

I asked Lucy to stop by & share a little info about herself. She has a variety of things happening online. Click on any of the links below to see what she is up to:


LB:
I am a fashion designer and I especially love recycling, vintage, and organic materials.


LB: And because I don't like to do always the same kind of art, I play with crafting, photography,

...painting, making diary projects, etc... This is why my Etsy shop is so diversified !


LB: My house has a double living room. I took one to make my studio and I made a stair to easily go in the attic, where I place almost all my material and items ready to send. My attic is so big ! I'm amassing my money and next spring, I plan to renovate it to make my studio there... for me this is a very beautiful project !

I know it will come out fabulous, Lucy, like so many of your wonderful projects! I'd love to see photos when you are done, if you'd like to share. I always enjoy before & after pictures. Many thanks for stopping by to share your studio space & creations with us. And special thanks for sponsoring next Thursday's contest! Also, I am looking forward to making pages for Diary 2011 - when do we begin??

Readers, if you get a chance please stop by & visit Lucy's links. I've enjoyed them all & her Flickr is a "must see" if you're into photography.

  20. This is the first time I've heard of Diary 2010, although I have heard of artist collaborations on deviantart for monthly calendars and playing cards. I think it's a great idea. Not only does one artist not have to draw 365 separate pictures, but it also gives an opportunity to showcase other artists' talents, while giving the customers variety and a chance to note a particular artist's versatility (if they've done more than one page).
