Giveaway 6 (winner drawn 9 March at 11am GMT) and Giveaway 5 winner

I decided to mix it up a bit, and announce the winner of last week's Giveaway first...

Giveaway 5 winner


Thank you to everyone who entered my fifth giveaway.

I think it spoke to a few people's souls as there were 30 entries (I discount any second comment from the same person, so everyone has a fair chance). And, using an online random number generator, the winner is comment no. 22

Congratulations, Kay!!

If you can email me your snail mail address (using the Contact Form in the sidebar, as the email link on my Profile doesn't seem to work...), I'll get this beautiful necklace in the post to you this week :-)

*******************

I'm developing a little pattern here, I realize... one week jewellery, the next week, a book...

This week's Giveaway is a beautiful, totally handmade sketchbook from Nellie Wortman. I have several of her creations, but this book has been sitting in my art cupboard - sadly, it's too small and fiddly for me to work in one-handed... 


It's roughly 7" x 5" (so not that small!), and has 12 blank pages (24 sides) of heavy paper/thin card for painting/sketching/writing. The covers are made of canvas and have been painted, stamped and stitched - Nellie is a real multimedia person! I think the angel is an image directly transferred to the canvas, but I'm not sure...



This is the inside cover, with a vintage lace 'page' on the right. The inside cover is made from an original ledger page, a tin heart with a pearl button and the words 'fluttering of wings'. It's a wee piece of art itself!



And inside the back cover is more ledger paper, and a transferred image of a tulip, and the words 'I sit and wait' and 'morning', and the rest of the vintage lace...

It is a very beautiful object, and if you'd like to win it, just leave a comment below, and I'll draw the winner next Sunday, 9 March at 11am GMT 
GOOD LUCK!!

  6. Dear Claire
    I came here via the GYB party and became a follower then. That is such a beautiful necklace that you have gifted Kay through a Giveaway.
    I am quite a fan of Nellie's mixed media books and work, and being a creator of fabric and lace journals myself I would be so honored to win this beautiful work of Nellie's.
    Thanks for giving us the chance and have a fulfilling and creative week too!

  12. It is a beautiul book - but don't enter me in the Giveaway, as I don't think I would know what to use it for and it would be wasted!! I'm sure someone else would find a better use for it. I wanted to say Thank You for a lovely blog - I'm SO glad I found you through Vicki's GYB event. You are wise, I think.

  22. What a beautiful book, Claire, and what profound thoughts it contains!

    Thanks for your visit and your comment - both Beatrice and I are on the mend. I am still coughing but that part does tend to linger on. Getting back into the swing of things, though.
