I Won Another Today's Best Award!

My red red heart mug got the Today's Best Award at Zazzle! Yeah! Of course, it wasn't today...no, I never find out about TBAs when I get them for some reason. It got Today's Best 6 days ago, and I just noticed all the comments now (thanks everyone who commented...I might never realize about these things if you didn't!).

One World One Heart - Magnet Giveaway

Hello! I'm joining in on the carpet ride for One World One Heart. OWOH is a giveaway event to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It's a fun chance to visit some fun blogs, see some unique artwork, meet some wonderful people, and maybe win something in the process.

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Gale, and I'm a stay-at-home mom and artist. I like to create what I call "scribbleprints"--artistic designs that start out as scribbles but turn into something else on the way. It's a fun form of art because even when I'm aiming for something specific, to get the scribbly look I have to draw the original outline scribble with a quick loose hand, so the final outcome is somewhat out of my control. Then, with a much, much slower hand I fill in the designs, then scan them onto the computer where I use a graphics program to add color, crop, change shapes, add other elements, etc.

Of course, not all my designs are "scribbleprints." I like to play around with funny and witty designs, mostly designed on the computer. And eventually I will be adding some other artwork. I enjoy doing water colors and black and white sketches and all sorts of other art forms--just haven't added any of that to my shops as yet (with the exception of one butterfly design.

See some examples below:


This work I call Tribal Toes. A lot of people say my
scribbleprints look like fingerprints, and I think
they work well here on these footprints.


This design has special meaning for me,
as it relates to my faith.


This is another favorite of mine.
I re-tweak this often to make designs.


Here's the same design in purple.


This one's not a "scribbleprint."
Sometimes I just like to have fun.

Valentines Giveaway - Poetry and Soap

WINNER CHOSEN - CONGRATS DOVILE

This month I am giving away some soap made by a dear friend of mine! I still had two Honey & Shea Glycerine Soaps left from a whole bunch I ordered from her last Christmas, and since she just gave me some more (some beautiful Lavender Soap and some Christmas Soap), I thought I'd give away one of the soaps from her I already had as a way to share about her shop with all of you. This soap is shaped like a honeycomb with a little bee on it (you can't see that from the picture). Oh, and she doesn't know I'm doing this by the way (shhh!).

And, because it's February and Valentines is quickly approaching, I'm also giving away one of my magnets quoting Byron's poem, "She Walks In Beauty Like the Night."


CLXXIII. "She walks in beauty, like the night"

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,—
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.

BUY IT
The soap from this giveaway is not currently listed at my friend's shop, but she would probably be willing to make some up for you if you asked!


If you would like one of my magnets, this month you can get them for a $3 donation to MercyCorps, an organization helping with relief work in Haiti (I'm not affiliated with MercyCorps, I am just choosing to support them in this way)--that includes shipping. These aren't the ones I sell in my shop, but ones I bought for a bulk rate a while ago. I also have some rectangular magnets you can have for a $5 donation (plus I'm giving one of those away here) and have other round magnets and buttons that I'd be willing to trade for a donations (sleep deprived parent, tantrum zone, tribal toes). If you're interested just ask me: ecarian@yahoo.com.
