it’s your lucky day – cool new book giveaway

MW big bowl of luck

Check out today's harvest of four leaf clovers.  It was a beautiful day and I hit the jackpot when walking to to mailbox!  They pulled through for Fallon and I as we shopped for prom dresses this afternoon.  We were at the fifth store when we found a dreamy selection tonight.  Whew!  I think I will spread the luck around by offering a giveaway.

Acrylic Solutions by Prichard and Cozen

My talented friend Julie wrote (and photographed) this cool new book with her workshop partner Chris.  They signed copy and Julie sent one for me to share with my faithful readers.  How cool is that? Acrylic Solutions: Exploring Mixed Media Layer by Layer by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen.  You will love this one – super clever to have it as a spiral bound format so you can leave it open on your studio table and work through all the informative and useful chapters on creating with paint and all the juicy options for building in layers.  It's one of those books that you will continue learning from as you endeavor to elevate your work.  Don't you love when a book reveals lessons just when you need them?  I've already put post-it notes on pages that I will return to soon.  Lots of handsome visuals, and tons of great tips.  If you want to see more, check out Julie's workshops.  She powers out some stellar online classes, with well produced videos you can watch over and over, then get feedback and assistance as you work through the lessons.  An amazing value, from the convenience of your own workspace.

LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW TO BE ENTERED IN THE BOOK GIVEAWAY.  I will draw a name out of the top hat on Sunday, May 12th.  It will be a Happy Mother's Day for a lucky reader, and a tip of the hat to Julie who is celebrating a birthday then too!
