This one's for you...
I want to celebrate the end of the 20 birds serieswith this blog's very first giveaway to thank you
for all the nice comments left about my work.
You guys are the best!
So...please leave your name and city
in the comment section of this post and I will randomly
draw a name next Wednesday at noon (local time)
and announce who this bird will be flying home to.
This birdie is a signed original watercolor
on 6.5 x 8.5 inches handmade cotton paper.
NOTE: If anyone from my close family is reading this,
no, you can't participate in this giveaway.
All you have to do is ask
and I'll make a birdie just for you ;)
UPDATE:
Thank you so much for participating
and for all the love!
I will announce the lucky winner later today...
I turned off the comments in the blog until a winner is announced.

Gigi Leonard

Your work is inspiring. In part because of your shared journal pages, I started a journal -- A bit of an art journal to play and experiment in and a bit of a written journal to think in. Its given me a little piece of time each day just for me. No quality levels need be met, no deep thoughts must be written each day, nothing must be "finished" -- its for playing and doodling and thinking and experimenting. Joy!!
Thank you for the giveaway.

Geninne, I just found your blog by chance and I love your work! Your birdies (and other works) are so adorable! Do you mind if I ask what medium they are done in? Are they inks, or done by printmaking? And they look like they may have a bot of watercolor mixed in... They are lovely!

The birds are so beautiful. They remind me of one winter when I was a child. During a lull in a snowstorm, my mother and I looked outside and saw two cedar waxwings in the trees. (They weren't typical to our area, so we think they must have been stopping by because of the bad weather.) They were beautiful birds, with smoke-colored wings.
How exciting!
