The Snake Queen-Art Print GIVEAWAY

Hello readers!

As a thank you to all the people that enjoy Wattsalot, I am holding a giveaway of my Snake Queen Print.  But not just one, three prints will go out!

All you have to do is "Like" my new Facebook Fan page.  So flippin' simple you could do it drunk on your laptop while hyenas are after you.  My fan page will be a place for me to share my inspiration, updates and other things TBD.

If you have already liked my page, your name will automatically be entered.  I will put all the names in a randomizer, and pick three.  I will be picking these three on October 3rd, that is one week from today!  I will then ask for your address, and send the print, signed, to your house.  The print is 11x17 and I sell them on my Etsy for $20 so you get that for free if you win;)  I will be doing this more often, so if you don't win, don't be sad.

A little background on The Snake Queen:  I chose the snake queen to giveaway because in the past it has been one of my most popular prints in local shops and online.  The story behind it is a childhood fantasy I use to have.  When I was little I had a pet snake, an iguana, and a weird black lizard that changed colors.  I would carry them around and pretend that I could communicate with all reptiles.  I wore the snake around my neck like a boa, and that is where the inspiration stemmed from!  True story.  Haha.  

Blend Fabrics press release

I meant to post this sooner but here is the press release for the new division of Anna Griffin that I have been working with for my fabric collections.  October the Blend team and designers, including myself, will be at the fall 2011 International Quilt Market in Houston launching our collections and the company will be launching as well.   They have been such a great team to work with and I look forward to hangin' and meeting everyone.

Cavendish and Ice

Good morning Friday! I just wanted to share a couple of things before the weekend.  I can officially announce that I will be illustrating the middle grade novel called The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls written by Claire Legrand.  It will be published by Simon and Schuster in Fall 2012.  The story is awesome, and it is a creepy one!!  I love it, and the characters are really great.  I can't wait to share it next year.  If you are on Twitter, follow @ClaireLegrand.  She holds contests, is really funny, and has an inspiration Tumblr account that I really like.

Also, the image above is for  I.C.E. Atlanta's second anunal Pop-Up Shop.  They commissioned me to design their bag.  Since I am on a knitting crush again this winter, I went with that theme. 

finished Vegas suite

Hello!  I wanted to share the finished wedding suite that my best bud Angela hired me to do for her and Grif's wedding in Vegas this year.    It was a joy to work on this since Angela and I have a lot for the same tastes. Her and Grif are awesome.  I will be going to their wedding, and it's going to get crazy!
