One World.......One Heart Giveaway!!!!!!

Photo

For the very first time, it is my privilege to be a part of One World One Heart hosted by Lisa of The Whimsical Bohemian. I met Lisa a few months ago and I assure you that her energy/ passion for this project, and uniting artists around the world is as infectious in person as it is online. She has provided here an opportunity to meet artists, and art lovers from around the world, and perhaps receive a a tangible reminder of your visit.

I am presenting for this first giveaway A Non-Religious "Eye- Con" that embodies the spirit of a greater power in the minds around the world. As is with pretty much everything else I create, this piece, is done with a sense of fun, or a pun. I believe that a good sense of humor truly defines the human spirit......and now that is as serious as I will get.

This "Eye Con" is made of fabric and encased in a wooden shrine. The wings are from an old tin toy..........there is an old game piece on the hat........which has symbolic meaning. I am hoping that through this project I will meet artists of like mind................for wit, and cleverness, and a sense of humor are what I would like to see more of in this world.

If you are interested in receiving this piece............... please leave a comment before February 12th. I am so looking forward to meeting you, and sharing a bit of our worlds. I will draw a name on the 12th, and speed this to you. I am looking forward to seeing the spectacle of your art, and meeting new friends whether artist, or art lover alike. Please leave your blog contact, or an email if you are not a blogger, so I may get back to you if your name is selected. Thank You for visiting.....and most important have fun!!!!!
