May You Find Comfort

But I'm also working on a couple new pieces this week .... May have to see how they come out before I make a final decision.

One more thing about Uprinting.com:

I'm going to sound like a cheerleader here, but I love these guys!

I recently placed an order for a 16" x 20" wrapped canvas print. Their website was easy to use. I'm not as computer savvy as I'd like to be, so I used their Live Chat to ask a question. The customer service person was fast & friendly. I uploaded my info at noon & requested a free online proof. A few hours later I approved the proof & the order was placed. Easy Peasy.

Last Friday I received the canvas print - an enlarged photo; it came out great! Rich colors & a clean image. Here it is on the wall.

This double exposure photo was taken on my birthday last year. It was a wonderful day & just looking at the image makes me smile. I 'd been debating where to hang it while running some errands. When I got home, I found that the little dude staked a claim & had his Dad hang it in his bedroom - seems he loves it too.

-----------------------

SO...c'mon, readers. Take a chance - You could be the next winner! Again, just leave a comment stating what you will do with your custom printed rolled poster if you win. You'll then be entered in next Thursday's random drawing for one!

-----------------------

Also, please stop back later today. I'll be posting an interview with a talented artist & etsy seller who has generously donated Prize #2 for the next Thursday Giveaway. That drawing will be open to international winners.

The 2 Lucky winners of the Custom Wall Stickers Are...

catss99 and slommler

Congrats to you both! I will contact you today with info on how to collect your awesome prizes from DigitalRoom.com.


Winners, if you want to share a photo of your custom printed wall sticker, I'll happily post it here. Here's what the winners plan to do with their prizes:

Amanda of catss99 - "I would probably use a picture of my cats and put it in my bedroom"

SueAnn of slommler - "My son and his wife want more of my art work. This would be a great idea to take one of my pieces and make it this giant sticker. They could put it where they want and move it when they want too!! Super!!"

New Wall Sticker Giveaway for 2 Winners PLUS "Naughty" challenge piece

You know you have your secrets....

This week's Mix it up with Melange prompt is Naughty. Now how fun is that!

I'm entering this secrets journal. It was inspired by an antique french postcard. Originally the woman was made into a watercolor & rubber stamped art trading card. I scanned the card & altered it in my ancient copy of photoshop elements. After printing on petal inclusive paper, I embellished with pencils, watercolor, & metallic paint. I then burned the edges - guess she was a little too hot ( sorry couldn't resist).

Final piece was treated with a UV-resistant finish & then adhered to a blank book. This journal is available in the ArtSnark etsy shop with Free Shipping, by the way.

To see other Naughty pieces or add your own sometime this week, click here & go to Melange blog comments.

New Random Drawing will have 2 Lucky Winners!

Yes, Tomorrow is still Thursday Giveaways - tomorrow I'll I post 2 winners of the custom greeting card giveaway and announce the prize for a new drawing. Today though I want to share another contest that is just too cool to wait:

The generous folks over at OnlinePosterPrinting.com are offering 24" square custom printed wall stickers to 2 random winners. These stick to a variety of surfaces & can be repositioned (like the Fat Head stickers you may have see advertised on TV).


OnlinePosterPrinting prints your custom photo, pattern or artwork onto special adhesive fabric that will stick to any flat surface. It is printed with the same details that you would get in a regular poster print so is perfect for whatever image you choose.

I'll be ordering one for myself. I'm thinking about enlarging one of my smaller art pieces, maybe Wallflower or The Sinister Gentleman (the originals are hanging over at Arts On 9th but you can see them HERE.) Or maybe a cropped Hot House Flower:

I'll have to think about it....

To Enter: Leave a comment sharing what you would do with a giant wall sticker of your own design. I know you've got some great ideas - can't wait to hear them!

2 winners will be randomly selected on Sunday September 13th. The following week, OnlinePosterPrinting will award winners via email. They'll send coupon codes & directions for claiming the prize.
