Bumblebee Best of 2010!

I'm a Craftster Best of 2010 Winner! My bumblebee linocut was awarded one of the 'Best of 2010' awards from craftster in the "Other Image Reproduction Techniques: Completed Projects" category! I don't spend as much time on the site as I once did, but craftster is a great site, and being a member really helped me hone my skills and learn how to create things and send them off into the unknown. I'm very flattered they've awarded me a 'best of' once again! The funny thing is that I created the bee with a view to entering it in a printmaking competition (for prints with a print area no larger than 10 cm, or 4 inches, squared) - but I never submitted it. Perhaps this is my cue to submit more art to competitions. Hmmmm....

Ada, Countess Lovelace, Best of 2009

I'm a Craftster Best of 2009 Winner!

I'm a little slow on this one, having neglected craftster somewhat of late (what with the harddrive meltdown of January '10), but I'm flattered to say that Lady Lovelace has won in the "Other Image Reproduction Techniques: Completed Projects" category!

Oh, and for the Josh Whedon hos, the craftster blog has posted Whedon themed needlework. Check it out.

Craftster Crush

A short message from sea to report that I am immensely flattered to be this month's "Craftster Crush". They even mentioned Albrecht Dürer! Dear craftster, the feeling is mutual,
love,
minouette.

Book of Hope 2009

So alteredmommy raffled off the Book of Hope collaboration and a cross stitch piece and raised $630 for cancer research! Check out the whole book here.

Not that type of Demon

Ooh! If I say I think it is a good omen that my Maxwell's Demon print turned up this morning on the craftster blog Angels and Demons round up, will you think I'm crazy? Demons, good omens? But you know, I never thought of Maxwell's Demon as sinister. He fights entropy and could counter the ultimate heat death of the universe (were he to ever succeed at his task). Like I explained to Blythechild, he's just a tiny, tidy, Scottish, Presbyterian demon. He wouldn't work on Sundays! But he works consistently from Monday to Saturday, fighting entropy. He's not after your soul - he's not that type of demon. He likes his tea with milk and sugar on the side - less entropy that way.

Anyway, I'm flattered to appear on the craftster blog! I haven't managed to make as much time for craftster of late, but I love their blog! Especially Mr. X Stitch (who deserves his own post and is an awesome addition to their blog team), and batgirl (Part Librarian, Part Superhero) is a sweetheart.

Craftster Best of 2008

I feel like a crafty superstar this morning ... oh, er.. @#$% alarm clock didn't go off afternoon! Craftster has selected their best of 2008 which includes:


The chair in HOME SWEET HOME: Crafty Housewares: Completed Projects: General




Copernicus in IMAGE REPRODUCTION TECHNIQUES: Other Image Reproduction Techniques: Completed Projects




The Chunky Page Swap Gallery, a swap I participated in for ORGANIZED SWAPS > Most Popular Swaps of 2008




A Book of Hope... by alteredmommy - a collaboration to raise funds for cancer research, to which I was proud to contribute for PAPER CRAFTS, JOURNALS & BOOK MAKING: Paper Crafts: Completed Projects: General

I'm flattered. The great thing here is that I think this has kick-started calls for Round two of the Chunky Page Swap, and alteredmommy is planning a similar fundraiser this year. I love the idea that things I create are making their way out into the world. Also making something for a good cause is more my style than, say, running for a good cause.
