Yes, boys and girls, it is time for the annual One World One Heart Blog Giveaway/Celebration. OWOH creator and host, Lisa Swifka, writes "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. 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." What could be more fun than community, connection, and making new friends?
For this year's magic carpet ride, I am giving away a new piece from my Memory Collector fabric cuff line called Tapestry.
Inspired by the back of an antique tapestry, I played with thread weight and tension to replicate a distressed and aged look. The cuff itself is made from hand dyed muslin and appliqued with resin and oil paper. Remnants of a vintage Dollie collars the ends as the cuff closes with a set of snaps.
At the heart of Tapestry is a tulle pocket ala Ruth Rae with bits of fiber, swarovski crystals and pearls, mica flakes and poetry.
Here is the 411:
1. This giveaway is open to anyone with an active blog.
2. To enter, please leave your name and a way to contact you if you win in the comment section of this post.
3. Only one entry, please.
4. Please do not leave ads, comms, spam, etc... in the comment section.
I will be accepting entries until midnight of February 14, 2010 Pacific Standard Time. The winner chosen on February 15, 2010 via random generator and announced on my blog that day. If I am unable to make connection with the winner of this prize within two weeks, the prize will be forfeited and go to the next number the generator selects.
Please visit the OWOH site for a complete list of participants, information on OWOH, and to treat your eyes to the visual feast of Lisa's artwork.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
Ohhhh my Pilar, you are such a kind soul and a brilliant artist! Please enter me for you your beautiful creation!
