Tgis is just to remind you that entries are accepted here on WordPress too. All you have to do is comment on whether the limited edition print will be for you or a gift before the deadline tomorrow. Good luck.
Here’s a reminder of the prize:
My progress chart … This is one of the reasons why I like taking part: there’s a word counter which informs you how many more words are left to go.
Although I’ve not been posting a craft daily this month, I’ve been busy beavering away at the keyboard and creating my first draft of a novel; working overtime at work and being a mum! Hope you lovely people who take time to visit my blog are all well and I promise there will be some more handicrafts in the run up to Christmas including a fun giveaway. Yay! 🙂
Just a reminder that my free giveaway to win a free pet portrait ends at midnight tonight. Comment below this posting if you would like to enter. If you’d like a portrait of an animal that isn’t a pet, or you would like to enter on behalf of a friend, then please state this in the comments. Thank you to those who have already entered either through personal message on Facebook or on WordPress.
Here is another example of my stippled or dot drawings. An owl –
A quick ten minute sketch in the office inspired me to draw in dots a more substantial drawing
As I’ve just announced a new contest giveaway calling for pets to draw and the prize winner gets to keep a picture of their pet, I thought I’d also mention that if you’d rather have a stippled dot drawing of your pet as a prize rather than a lino print, then please comment below and send me a photo of your pet to jhw.eng43@yahoo.com with ‘pet sketch contest entry’ in the subject line and state whether lino print or dot. Here is an example of one of my stippled drawings all done in fine dots! I hope it inspires you to enter. Entries to the contest closes at midnight on Friday 22nd August (all time zones).
Thank you, thank you thank you to everyone who has visited my blog since it began in January 2014. Now, with over 5,000 hits I’m offering a special free giveaway. Yay!
This is a little different. I am offering fellow bloggers an original limited edition lino print and sketch of their pet as the prize. Please post below this blog post an amusing story, of your pet you would like me to use, the pet’s name and then email me a clear photograph of your pet that you don’t mind me putting on this blog in a gallery and I will select one using a random generator.
This is my stats I woke up to after a long day out yesterday!
Here is an example:
My kitten is a white spotted tabby and she’s called Nikon. She has a habit of sleeping on our shoes and playing in my OHs boots.
Then email a clear and interesting photo to jhw.eng43@yahoo.com which you are happy to go into a group gallery on this blog
I will then put together a gallery of the pets and select one at random (or we can do a reader’s vote – what do you think?). Finally, the winner’s pet photo will be turned into a linocut print by me!
Closing date? Friday 22nd August at midnight.
That gives me the UK Bank holiday to create the sketch on lino then make the print. Whoop! Whoop!
Stop press. Announcing a new contest shortly 😉
