Congrats Sarah Leschinsky

Sarah Leschinsky, winner of the 10/31/10 contest, chose a hand-drawn portrait for her prize. I just finished it, and I must say, I'm pleased with the result. The photos she gave me to use were absolutely beautiful (she's a photographer-- just look at how awesome she is!) and while I can usually draw from any picture, these were a DREAM to work with. I'm all smiles about it. 

I would be congratulating the winner of the most recent contest, 11/7/10, but sadly, I didn't get any entries. Such is life, I suppose. I'll try again, but with the holidays coming up, I don't know how much time I'll have to make prizes, so for the time being, we're just going to have to deal with pictures and ideas. 

Best of the holidays to all of you, and keep in touch! 

11/07/10 Pop Quiz Drawing

Congratulations to Sarah Leschinsky, the proud winner of the last drawing. The piece was originally made to be a rose. I was (and still am) SURE it looks like a rose, but evidently it looks more like a fish, since that's what the most common guess was. Alas. Some days I fail.

Since last week's puzzler was a hard one, you all have been working very hard and are well deserving of a break, I'm giving you an easy one, and I'm giving you twice the time to figure it out!

I made these sculptures for my sister-in-law, who has an unnatural love for this group of characters (no offense, Kayla!). I made them out of polymer clay, character is about 3 inches tall. I also have created a few witches to go with this crew... One wears pink, one wears black, and the other... well, she wears striped socks and a house.

So here's a freebie-- Write me who this is, where they live, or some identifying comment that says you read this post, and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a lovely ring, or if that doesn't suit your fancy, something else. Send your guesses by Saturday November 20th by 8pm to mareniduna@hotmail.com with the subject line of "Mareniduna pop quiz." If texting, Facebook notes, Etsy notes or some other form of communication is easier for you, feel free to let me know that way. Just make sure I know that you are entering the contest.  Guess now!
