Karen,
I am so pleased to write to tell you that after much deliberation, we have
selected you as the
Pro Winner of the October 2012
#1210 Kiiro Art Challenge!
You have also won a great prize from our friends and sponsors at UART to
include 10 huge sheets of 18 x 24 sanded pastel 600 grade
paper.
This is a great prize and you are going to be surprised when it
arrives how unique a surface this is to draw on. I hope you share with us
something you do on it.
Why you were selected by our staff:
We just couldn’t escape your charming colorful concept and brilliant
execution of this gecko challenge. It is an exciting change of perspective AND
mirror image that isn’t too perfect of a mirror so that each lizard has it’s own
little personality. We also love how you didn’t give up when you weren’t quite
satisfied with your first attempt and how you pushed yourself to take chances
the second time around. I know this wonderfully illustrated piece is one that
many people would love as a print of and I hope it serves you well, if you put
prints up for sale, be sure to link to it on the flickr page. Of course you have
full rights to your image and use of the photograph. We will be showing you off
in the December 2012 issue and facebook page. Check back on our blog to see all
the entries and other winner.
Please send your shipping address to us.
You are still eligible to win again so please continue to join this awesome
group of artists at flickr.

Holey Moley! I am still shaking! And I have to tell you ... as I opened it, I was looking forward to seeing who had won ... and was totally stunned when I saw that it was me!
Happy Day to all!
Karen Anne
