"One World, One Heart" givaway!

I have been a lurker as of late; reading other artist's blogs, and not really paying much attention to my own, but I heard of this giveaway, and I decided to post a giveaway of my own.

It's a soldered art glass ornament with a print of an original painting done by me, Freya. The original painting sold on Ebay recently, but, as I often do, I create other artistic pretties from paintings I have done in the past. This one was of an expectant mother-to-be in her new baby's nursery, and is part of a series I've been doing of landmarks in a woman's life. It is 2"x2", made with lead-free solder, and is mirrored on the back, with a jump ring soldered on at the top, for easy hanging.

I used this size on my christmas tree most recently, but you can use them anywhere, all year long.... Just use your imagination!

All you have to do for a chance to win this giveaway is comment to this post (a nice one, please!).... I will draw the winner and post it on Valentine's Day!

Good Luck, everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello, everyone.... and thanks for dropping by!

I am Freya; folk artist, massage therapist, mom, girlfriend, big-time scrapbooker, Katrina Survivor, and now, BLOGGER. ;-)

I am very new to this blogging thing, so I will be learning as I go..... please be patient with me while I am learning!

I have been making art ever since I could hold a crayon. Over the course of my lifetime, it has had its ebbs and flows. I have painted on canvas, furniture, walls, and just about anything else that can be painted. I have been selling my artworks on Ebay here and there in recent years, in local art-sy shops in and around New Orleans in the past, and I participate in a local monthly art walk in my new locale, where the whole town can purchase my art. I am lucky to have come into a lot of time, recently, to devote to creating art, which has been great for me.

Anything can inspire me, at anytime. I have a notebook I take everywhere I go; whenever I see or think of something that seems like an idea I can run with, I write it down or sketch it out real quickly. With any luck, someday, it will become a work of art.

I also enjoy collecting original art from other artists. I have a HUGE collection of art, and never enough room to display all of it. :-( That doesn't seem to stop me from buying more, though!
I guess I just need a bigger house. :-P I love anything pretty.

Once I learn how, I will post some photos. Thanks for visiting!

Freya
