Sorry, but I couldn't hold true to my word I did another Halloween Postcard! The little girl and boy image was just sitting there begging me to do something with them. I had already painted them previously with Gouache Paints and since I was making backgrounds on photo paper using the new Limited Edition Color Mists for Halloween, it all just fell together, I love when that happens!
**BLOG CONTEST**
Since it's my birthday tomorrow I've decided to give this really cool NEW Art Apron to a lucky blog reader.
Do the following 3 things:
1. Post a comment with your NAME & EMAIL
2. Include your email address (I'm not psychic)
3. Leave a link to some cool Halloween Art (can be yours or someone elses) or a fun Halloween Project.
Each person that leaves those three things will have their name entered in the drawing. Send this blog contest to a friend and for every friend that posts a comment and mentions your name you will get an additional name entered into the drawing!
The Sky's the limit!
Drawing will be held on Sunday Sept 23, 2007
**Just remember if you don't leave your name and email I can't notify you**
Before you ask the contest is open to International blog readers as well :-)
Apron is made from canvas and is adjustible to fit all sizes
Oh I agree! I love her body/tail. Very nice. She has a ton of hair, too, like her creator! Very cool. So, add me to the drawing...love that apron! :)

Beautiful mermaid, Aileen! This is one of my favorite ever things you've created!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you've invented 3 more Color Mists - perfect for spooky Halloween creations!
I am sharing a site that doesn't qualify as Halloween art but is one of my all-time favorites:

Make sure you float your mouse over each photo - "Autumn" is my fave - click on each little cross to go to the next photo.

Maybe not traditionally Halloweeny, but it would scare the stuffing out of me more than any ghost or witch could.
I can't resist the chance to win something. I found this website, all about Halloween:

ReplyDeleteI've been a lurker for a while, but when I saw the apron I HAD to come out. It's beautiful. (and so is the mermaid)
Let's see a really fun Halloween blog is http://www.hophopjingleboo.blogspot.com/
She has tons of wonderful eye candy and free vintage type clipart.
I'm Susan and my new-ish (and barely broken in art blog is http://susansmusings.wordpress.com
There is a "contact me" place there. I'm not crazy about leaving my email out in the open, hopefully that won't disqualify me. :)
Oops, I just realized I gave you my everyday blog instead of the art-ish one. Try

Happy Birthday, Aileen!
ReplyDeleteI adore the mermaid's face! Very nice job! We are our own worst critics!! *smile*
And I'm lusting after the "Creative Moment" apron! It is so appropriate for we artists who cannot hold a thought for long, and must write it out or work it out right away!
Here's one of my first artist trading cards.....................
