OWOH LIST OF BLOGGERS

One World One Heart is a worldwide event for bloggers only. It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants with lasting friendships (and even one love connection) formed along the way. Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home........going from blog to blog(in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world. It's really that easy.


My give-away is pictured below, it's a silk/rayon velvet scarf hand dyed by me. The scarf measures 48" x 10" and is soft and dreamy!


The scarf has color changes throughtout. Last year I got so many comments that I ended up giving away THREE scarves, one for every 100 comments . . . . maybe we can do the same this year!! And to top it off, I won some really great prizes last year from other bloggers.

The fine print: You MUST have an active blog. You MUST leave a comment on this blog entry - and that post has to include a way I can contact you if you win. You can leave your email or you can leave your blog address (but make sure your email or contact me info is current on your blog!).

THE END - yes, all good things must end - is on February 17th - the day the winners will be posted. So the cut off for comments on my blog will be midnight on the 16th. I'll use a random number generator to pick the winners.

Please, if you like fiber art, click to "follow" this blog and come back to visit now and then! I usually post about art and I try to give some steps for each piece I post so that you can get inspiration. There's even a tutorial about snow dyeing (we're expecting a blizzard this week!) so if you're in a snow belt, check it out!

OWOH . . . I Have Been Remiss . . .

I have not blogged for a while, it's funny how quickly time flies by when you're not looking!

I received two other wonderful prizes from the One World One Heart event and want to show them to you.

The first is this lovely set of note cards from Pat Knowles at Images Through An Open Window:


And the second is this adorable bird print from Vickie at Whispers of Inspiration.



Vickie also sent me this cute little notecard!



The whole adventure with One World One Heart was a blast - thanks to everyone who participated!

Look what I WON!!!

This incredible bit of art from Alaska arrived safe and sound in my mail box today. I won him in the One World One Heart blog giveaway. His name is Jasper and he was created by Pat Haight of Wigglebutt Clay Creations. She also generously sent me some wonderful hand made buttons and a gorgeous heart pin that were a total surprise.


What a wonderful thing to have show up in the mailbox today! Thanks, Pat!

This initiative is really fun and you are exposed to blogs from all over the world . . . and they are reading yours too! If you are not familiar with OWOH, read all about it here:



My give-away is pictured below, it's a silk scarf hand dyed by me in purple and turquoise. It's a two step process with special dyes so that part of the scarf takes one color and part takes another color. It's something I've been experimenting with, and it gives great results! The spots are velvety and the purple background is sheer. The scarf measures 68" x 13" and is soft and dreamy!
