I thought I might like to have some more birds scratching around my Etsy store so here is my new print, "Jelly Bean Birds" which was lots of fun to make. So much fun, these prints may well be imbued with rocking good vibes because I was in a jolly mood as they came into being!
It's been a long weekend here in Toronto and I have thoroughly enjoyed taking a peek at some other blogs. I noticed that many talented folks are doing GIVEAWAYS, what an excellent idea! I think I will do what all the cool kids are doing and follow suit.
So, if you are an exuberant sort* and would enjoy an extra splash of colour in your day please leave me a comment and I'll pick someone at random on the 15th of August to win one of these limited edition prints. Please be sure to leave me a way of contacting you, a blog link or email address for instance. I don't think many people visit yet so your chances are good!!
And if you are interested in winning more artful goodies go check out littlebird blog -- she has something lovely there, you might be lucky enough to call it your own...
*Maybe you dream of being an exuberant sort and just have too much beige in your days?
It's been so nice to hear from you all -- you've inspired me to do a giveaway at the beginning of each month, share the love and all...
THANK YOU!

Seriously you need to stop putting your blogging skills down. I am sure there are lots of people reading, you should put in google analytics if you want to see who is visiting. There are lots of lurkers out there who don't like to comment.
I love that print too by the way. A great use of colour and the images are fabulous too. I could use a bit of colour in the middle of our Melbourne winter.
Those prints are so vibrant and fresh........I wanted to wish you luck with your new line.

Hello! I'm brand new to your blog and shop (found you via decor8 as well--congrats on the great press!!). I love your work! So bright, so colorful, so *summery*. I'll be checking your site regularly to keep up with your happenings! Cheers!
I LOVE IT!!!
But then I am guilty of having already purchased the birdabies print via etsy.
Ok here's five totally RANDOM reasons *why* I should win this print:
1. I'm an aussie, you're a kiwi - we're practically blood!
2. My birdabies print would look twice as cool with a buddy.
3. I knew you before you were cool cause of decor8 - it might not have been that long but it still counts.
4. You already have my address.
5. I think the birdies rock!
5.1 I'm e-x-u-b-e-r-a-n-t! But I have beige walls I'm trying to cover with art that I love.
Either way, I'm glad your talent and craft is getting the props it deserves. I hope people stick around and share the goodness with others!
gnomeangel you kill me, you're hilarious!
Gorgeous, I love it!! I have just found your blog and I'll be popping in again often. It's just gorgeous!

WOW! I just LOVE your work -- so fresh and lovely -- great colors, forms and texture -- so free feeling! I saw you on decor8 this morning (congrats!!) -- you are in Toronto?

I'm a sucker for color and this print is divine. At first I though it was a textile sample. I think it would be a perfect design for bedding material - a duvet or curtains, perhaps. Love running into so much talent here online!
I love your prints!
I am a new reader of you. I hope I win nonetheless!
Good things you got here.
I found you via coochicoos! You've hit the big time. Love your work.
I just had to add ... I just saw your post about Kina and realised that you're a Kiwi! Me too ... I live in Holland at the moment.
bright and cheery = goodbye bleek walls
or maybe I could be generous and give it to my pregnant friend...
:)
very cute
