jane denton… and GREAT.LY… and a give-away!


Gah! I absolutely love this colorful, geometric, hand-embroidered work by New Zealand artist Jane Denton! I love it so much in fact, that I’ve stocked that last piece, the big beautiful X, in my GREAT.LY shop … yes, GREAT.LY officially launches today! We should celebrate, yes? Hm… how about a give-away of one of Jane’s amazing pieces!? Like this one:

Jane has generously given this amazing, triangular, framed original to me so that I can then give it to one of you! Isn’t that the nicest thing EVER? I saw it in person when I was in New York for the GREAT.LY press party, and I was very tempted to give it away to myself! But that wouldn’t be very nice, so just leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw one winner on Friday May 23 at midnight PST, and I’ll announce the winner on Saturday morning. Good luck! {and go check out GREAT.LY! I’m so proud to be part of it… can you tell?!}

ps. see that little G at the top left of the site… up with FB etc… yep, that’s a direct link to my GREAT.LY boutique, and if you see those on other blogs, it will link through to their shops. YAY!

……………

AND THE WINNER IS …. ME! Ok, no it isn’t. The name I pulled last night at midnight was HEIDI LEECH! YAY Heidi! Thanks to everyone that entered… I’ll do another one as soon as I can โ™ฅ

    It is exciting to see embroidery as an artform. My mother was an avid embroiderer and spent many many many hours creating pillowcases and table cloths. My first venture into embroidery as a child was embroidering a lamb on my pillow case. I was so crazy proud of myself. Yesterday I was in a store that sold embroidery thread and I was so excited to see all the colors and the texture and remembering the little wrapper around it. James work is stunning!

  211. Angela Baker /// 05.22.2014 /// 7:50pm

    Stitching together triangles of candy coated colors into threads of happiness. It makes me want to put on my flowy embroidered top, drop my straw hat and beach towel in the basket while I pedal my pink bike to the beach. Splash! Cool down with a quick dip in the aqua blue water. I have the perfect place to hang a Jane Denton for a daily fix of positive vibes.
