Exciting times and a Great Giveaway!

 

It’s really been awhile since I started blogging and my blog has changed a great deal in that amount of time. I started my blog as a place to share my crochet and make new friends. Well……..I still crochet but not as much. My blog name then changed to MoClockre Gourd Whimsies  and I started sharing my experiences with the Gourd Art that I created. I still create a lot of Gourd Art and have it in a couple of Art Galleries and plan to start selling it online. I also teach classes in Gourd Art every Saturday at the Gallery closest to me which is “Hill Country Art Gallery” and other places by appointment. Next stop……..Creative Paperclay® which I just love! I’ve used it for a really loooong time on various things and when I started Gourd Art I used it there too because it is air dry and it sticks easily to the gourd. I was chosen for the first ever design team for Creative Paperclay® and have served one six month stint on the team and have now been chosen for a second six month term. Yippee Skippy!! Now then to make things even better I was recently chosen for the Amazing Mold Putty® team!! Does it get any better than this?? The Amazing Mold Putty® is just that, AMAZING! I have had so much fun experimenting with this product AND the other product that I’ve received such as Amazing Clear Resin® and Amazing Casting Resin® FANTASTIC stuff!! Please keep an eye on both my blog and the Creative Paperclay® blog AND the Amazing Mold Putty® blog to see all of the amazing and creative things that everyone on the teams are coming up with.

I love to try new things and love creating in several different artistic mediums. I’m sure that over time you will start seeing me creating many different things and I hope you continue to follow me and ask your friends to follow also. I do notice new followers and I appreciate every follower that I have. Now to get on with the giveaway! Because my Blogeversary is here as is my birthday month of November. (I was born on the first) I’m going to have what I believe is a Great Giveaway! The lucky winner (who will be chosen at random) is going to receive:

1. A package of Creative Paperclay®

2. An Amazing Mold Putty Kit®

3. A Gourd Art piece that I’ve created.

4. A surprise

To be eligible to enter you must be a follower of my blog. Please don’t become a follower just for this giveaway, it’s not fair to everyone else. You must make a comment on this post. Entries will run from today 10-27-11 thru 11-15-11 at which time I will choose a name at random. So start commenting! You can comment once every day but it must be on this post. Good Luck!!

Well, I did follow you today, but I didn't do it just for a chance to receive the anniversary give-away. I came here because of a comment from a friend because I LOVE gourd art. I'm so happy to have found your blog and I'm signing up for the RSS feed so I can "follow" you for real!! You do beautiful art!

Congratulations to you. Your work is amazing. I was pumpkin picking last week and they had gourds and I was going to get one, asked the farmer about gourd art and asked if I had to let it dry out, etc and he told me I had to scrub it while fresh with bleach...long story short, I'll go back and get one once I read more about your method and give it a try (I thought he was wrong and didn't know what to do with it once I got it home).

Barbara said...

Your gourds are amazing, I just doodled my first gourd! Love mixed media art and I'm always looking for new cool stuff to add in, Mold Putty sounds exciting!

Theresa said...

Well, my dear, I AM a follower and love seeing all of your beautiful creations!

Enjoy your weekend! HUGS!

Oh My! What beautiful gourd work. I do loons and geese out of the gourds I grow. Growing them in Maine is a challenge so I get very few a year.
I love the products new to me, that you have blogged about... I would love to give them a go!
Thank you for hopping to my blog!

Hi Barbara, nice to meet you. I'm a gourd artist and have recently found zentangle. I love steampunk and mixed media. I'm thinking the mold putty and resin might work into the things I'm already doing to add yet another dimension. I ahve just found you and your blog and will be interested to seeing what you are up to! Liz from Fe Fi Fo Farm.

Maggie said...

Am I too late? I've been a follower, though I haven't dropped by your blog in a while. I love your gourd art, and I'd love to be entered in this giveaway!

And what fun to have the opportunity to win a stellar prize!!!!! It's EXACTLY what I've been looking for to stretch some creative muscles!
HuGGs!
