Drawing - Original Screen Print Cards - Closed

Purple Iris.  Three 4-1/4x5-1/2 inch screen prints.
       In celebration of reaching 600 likes and as a reward to my wonderful readers, I've come up, finally, with an idea for a contest. Inspiration came to me when I was watering the irises. They'd make a lovely subject for a painting, I thought. Then the light went on in my head. Years ago I made screen-printed greeting cards, including some with irises. I still have some and I'd like to offer them as prizes in a drawing.
       I'll offer the single winner of the drawing a choice of one set of cards out of three sets. Each 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inch card is a numbered and signed print. I'll include envelopes, but you may want to frame them rather than mailing them.
Day Lily. Set of 3 prints
       To enter drawing, comment here or on any website post, NOT on my facebook status page. Drawing will be June 15. Winner will be selected by random drawing and will be announced here, not on facebook. Winner will have 24 hours to respond to tell me their choice and provide mailing information. My email is patricia@patricianworks.com.
Rose. Set of 3 prints.
       I haven't had a lot of success in selecting contest prizes that meet with reader approval. I'll be crushed if this idea doesn't get a positive response! So comment! Please! If there is interest, more cards will be offered in subsequent drawings. And, by the way, read and like my status and website. Good luck, and thanks for your support, even if you choose not to enter the drawing.

  1. I have a hard time getting people to respond to giveaways too, even when I think they're AWESOME. So good luck with your contest, hopefully you get a big response! I'll share this on my Facebook page. -Aubrey

    1. Thanks, Roberta. I loved screen printing but won't be doing anymore, so these could be (clear throat) really valuable some day.

    1. I'm so pleased to hear (read) you say so. I wouldn't want them to go to someone who didn't like them!

    1. I have an associate fine arts degree from Lansing Community College. I love the process, except for the mess. To do more here at home, I'd need a studio large enough to acommodate all the equipment. Not going to happpen. I'll stick to painting for now, esp watercolor.
