Contest A'Brewin'

It's Monday, so I'm just going to dive right in here. I know some people are waiting for news of a contest for one of the wearable blankets I posted about. The good news is that I did manage to snag the very last one in the store, and I will be giving it away.
The bad news is that even though I have concocted a contest and everything, I think I may want to wait a bit.

Stop yelling at me.

I have been thinking of the other blog contests I have seen, and many of them are about celebrating something. Well, it just so happens that I will have a big something to celebrate in four weeks, in the form of my graduation. My thought was that I would start the contest the week of my finals, and announce winners on my graduation weekend (May 17th.)

Now, I know this is going to frustrate the people who wanted this blanket as soon as possible... so what if I sweeten the pot a little? I am kicking around the idea of putting up for grabs an original watercolor:
(Lunar Blaze, watercolor with gold metallics, 9x12. Ignore the copy rights through the photo, it's just a watermark from my site. It will be matted in gold and backed, ready for framing.)

I'm also going to put in some signed mini-prints (they're a little bit bigger than post-card sized, but real prints I sell) of mine. Three people will be able to choose from the following in stock:


I figured I would make it your choice, what you want to play for (the watercolor or the blanket) and three runners-up would win a mini-print. Oh, and I won't be picking the winners... you all will.

So, any interest?

That's one contest I want to be in! It's hard to pick between the prizes though...that's a toughie, they are both so awesome. I like your idea of waiting until your finals week though...it will put a little fun into it!

Totally! Please just don't make it hard like Avi's sunday contest!

*Tramples on everyone to get to the front of the queue!*
I WANT that snuggly blanky! I'm sure it already has my name embroidered on it - can't you see it? ;o)

I would totally be interested in a contest. Either prize would be fine, but original artwork from you would be pretty friggin' sweet!

kilax said...

Of course we're interested! Duh! ESPECIALLY if you are giving away art!!!!! :)

John said...

Nah.





Okay, I'm KIDDING!

I'll take the blankey if a beautiful woman comes wrapped in it. Otherwise, I think an original Savy would look nice with my original Picaso, Van Gogh, and Monet. Please make the contest something that obtuse people have a shot at too. ; )

If the artwork is in, then I am IN! If I win, we can give the blanket to another person who needs it more than I do....never will get any use out of it where I live!

Yay, how exciting....

Sure. Art is also way better than a blanket.

wafelenbak said...

I want the art too!!
The blanket is awesome, but I fear it would cause me to curl up in a ball and sleep more than I already do (which is a lot, when I'm not running purely on adrenalin or caffiene)

I'd take the artwork over the blanket any day. Course, I live in Florida. We don't really use blankets here. We use sheets.

Jules said...

I'm in with a grin!!

I love that watercolour, would look great in my daughter's room.

Hey! I am in! I'd much rather have one of your pieces of artwork!
