caseynrbq -> May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/17/2009 3:35:59 PM)

Hi all! [:D] [:D]

Ok, I have decided to enter the May Nibblefest with this art print of an original work I did quite a while ago. It is a print of my "White Rabbit's Wild Weekend" piece that I did years ago.

I got quite a lot of positive feedback & attention for it at the time, as there's (apparently) a lot of people that are into "Alice in Wonderland" that got a big kick out of it, and it's a piece that I really love and am proud of. (Lots of sarcastic/parody humor in this one, where I posit that the White Rabbit was on skid row after drinking the "drink me" labeled bottles!)

I entered it in the ebsq "Toys" show and it won a member's mention AND I had it ripped by the wonderfully talented Brookee...

So... without further adieu, here it is:

It will be an 8x10 print matted in a white mat to 11x14" -

and just fyi - here's Brookee's amazing rip of it from the ebsq show archives:

I think this print is perfect for the "Secret Life of Toys" theme; as this bunny sure has a "secret" life, LOL! [;)]

Let's see what you have for this month's nib'fest!

Diane.

I love it Diane! free shipping may help...I like a little pading on 99cent auctions, just in case. Here is mine: About the love hate relationship I have with trolls!

labeana -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/18/2009 2:04:32 PM)

I haven't done a Nibblefest in years, but I just can't resist...I have a painting that never sold with toys in it so I'm going for it....

so I have to open it at ninety nine cents?(yikes)....when does it need to be listed, what to put in the headline, and for how long? Sorry...I don't remember....thanks



88heather -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/18/2009 2:12:19 PM)

I love your toy paintings Lauren!  I'm sure it'll do well!!  which one will you enter??

You should list it on the 20th for a 7 day auction..   or you can do a shorter auction but it needs to end on the 27th.. can't remember the times.. but I always have mine ending evening of the 27th..

You have to include the sentence..  "This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month. Please be sure to search for NFAC to see more great entries, each starting at just 99ยข. Thanks!"..

and it has to start at 99cents no reserve doing a basic auction..  have "NFAC" in your title so peeps can find your entry!

can't wait to see yours Lauren!  back to painting at a frantic pace on mine![:D]



platypus -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/18/2009 2:33:31 PM)

ooh I can't wait for your entry Lauren, I just love your toys paintings!!

You can read the complete rules here - you might want to refresh your memory since it's been awhile and some things have changed:

You'll need to be logged into the group to see it though.



labeana -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/18/2009 4:35:06 PM)

thanks...I'm going to do it!



fallbaby55 -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/19/2009 9:02:31 AM)

Yay! [sm=cheesy.gif] Guess I should start on sumthin [sm=goofy.gif]



tmatthews -> RE: May Nibblefest Entries - Secret Life of Toys! (5/19/2009 5:33:50 PM)

Diane - I remember that bunny. I love it! Very clever.

Alma - Love yours too. The trolls' little faces are hysterical. They look very enthralled. [:)]

Heather - get back to work!! [:D]

Here's my entry, with a bit of explanation...Here's the exact wording that will be in the auction:

"Now this is all pretty hush, hush, but at one time Barbie had a little "thing" with Oscar (that's right, THE grouch). Garbie here is their love child. This is the secret Barbie doesn't want anyone to know.

Poor Garbie--he's not welcome in the Dream House and he really doesn't fit in on the Street (Sesame, that is). Won't you give him a good home?"

And here's Garbie (6" x 4", acrylic and colored pencil on MDF)
