MORE SNIPPETS & A WINNER

Little bits and pieces to show how I work and how it progresses. I like using most media, whatever I think is right really. I enjoy not being stuck in one particular working method. As you can see the image from yesterday is looking more complete with flooring now. Just a few more tweaks here and there and that one will be done. Although I find it stressful having so much to complete in such a short amount of time it sometimes works in my favour that continuity is much better.

And the print giveaway winner is Rae! Congrats Rae, the Sealion print can be off to you straight away. Message me your postal address so I can package it up and send it off. Thanks to you all for entering, there will be more giveaways of course throughout the year as I add more prints to my etsy shop.

NEW PRINTS // A GIVEAWAY!

So these new prints: Skipping Raccoon, & Sea Lion have been up for a few weeks in my ETSY shop. They are all 8 x 10 inches printed onto A4 paper which makes them super duper easy framers as just about every shop has that frame size, so no expensive made to measure framing. I find ikea and muji great for cheap, good quality frames. They are printed with Canon archival inks on Somerset velvet (which looks a little like watercolour paper) enhanced 100% cotton paper. It is gorgeous paper, mould made and 225gsm in weight so feels lovely.

They were supposed to be there before Christmas but life and work just about everything else got in the way. To celebrate me finally getting my butt in gear (and getting a new printer that actually wants to FEED in my paper without me trying a million times and screaming blue murder at it) I'm doing a giveaway. All you have to do to win one of these prints is to follow my blog, either by clicking on google connect or via bloglovin. Then leave me a comment to tell me so and which print out of the two you'd like to win. For an additional entry you can follow me on twitter @iamsarahdyer and tweet about it, (I'm a late comer to the twitter party!) Just leave me a comment to tell me you've done so and your twitter name. I will pick one winner next Monday evening by random.org and announce it Tuesday morning. It is an international giveaway so anyone can enter. Yippee!

Too see any of these prints in more detail please follow the link to my etsy shop.
Good luck to you all!

FEATURED

Hello, I'm up to my eyeballs in work. Which is great, but I'm drinking a lot of tea (and of course eating too many biscuits as they go hand in hand...) and not really getting round to posting all the amazing DIY things I wanted to show you. Anyway I digress, hopefully I'll be able to do that later this week. For now I wanted to swing in and say I'm interviewed on this wonderful blog as part of National Storytelling Week. They are also hosting a giveaway on their facebook page where you can win a copy of my book 'The Girl with the Bird's Nest Hair'. So make sure you pop on over there, or to my facebook page and 'like' it so I can let you know the details later this week!

GIVEAWAY!

So to celebrate the opening of my Etsy shop I am offering a lovely reader the chance to win one of my new A3 prints above. They are professionally printed digitally from my original illustrations on 9 LIVES paper which is a lovely recycled wood free paper. Size 420mm h x 297mm w or 16.5 inches h x 11.7 inches w.

You can see more details of the prints at my shop.

So it is very simple. I'm afraid I'm not that savvy and on twitter, facebook and the like, so all you have to do is leave a comment below stating which of the three you'd like to win and why, and I will pick the winner at random and announce in a weeks time - Monday 13th August!

Good luck and I hope you like them!

Dear Ms Sarah Dyer,
What a wonderful thing to share,
How nice it would be,
To have the letter 'T'
Pruned by a gardening bear!

Thanks all for reading and stopping to say hello, it was so lovely to hear your comments, means a lot. And hopefully I'll get that etsy shop up and running soon...

PS Excuse the state of Stanley's face...the bad old kitty final got fed up of being chased about and fought back. She is very much in the dog (cat) house now. He is fine. I'm shocked now I see these photos, but hopefully all will be well again soon. Hope you don't all think I'm a terrible mother.... I know these things will happen but it doesn't make me feel any better about it :(

Remember......

....you have until Sunday evening to enter my first ever giveaway!

**Details are below in an older post.

My First Giveaway!!!

UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

As I'm not sure who really reads my blog, and I'd like to set up an ETSY shop very soon I'd thought I'd see what the interest would be like by offering my first ever GIVEAWAY!!!

I'll pick someone randomly next Sunday to win a Topiary Bear with an initial or number of your choice. Below is one I have done already with an 'S'.
It is 29cm x 21cm and printed on textured Somerset Enhanced paper.

Just leave a comment below, and let me know what initial you'd like.

Thanks for reading! Love Sarah xoxo

PS. The Bear is happy to travel so please feel free to enter if you're not from the uk!
