Win a print!



Recently Tina Eisenberg of swiss miss used crowd sourcing to decide on a name for her soon-to-be-born son! She called the contest "Help name Swiss Mister" - and the winning choice was Tilo.
Inspired by Tina's technique (and general chutzpah) I am now asking You Dear Reader, to weigh in on the new print I'm working on.

Do you prefer the Orange + Blue or Pink + Black combination?

To be eligible to win a t is for tap dance print - let me know your colour preference - and leave a comment on this blog post by Thursday March 11th.
A winner will be chosen at random on Friday March 12th. (My mom's birthday)
Thank you for your input and good luck!

New print in progress: t is for tap dance

Ta da again!

I was able to finally carve out some time on the weekend to begin work on my new t is for tapdance print. It is the next in my alphabet series which includes n is for novel, m is for mask and s is for swing.

Above I've included photos of the whole inky process. It was very snowy last weekend which made the screening an extra cozy experience.
Note: I'm still in the experimental stage of creation and have not settled on colours for my final edition of prints. I'll be asking for reader input on this. Stay tuned!
