Queensland Flood Relief ~ “Giveaway with conditions” AKA Raffle

 

We have all heard about the dreadful flooding happening up north in Queensland.  So many lives have been affected, people have lost their lives, their homes, everything they own, their livestock, businesses….

 

I can’t imagine what it is like for our northern friends… my heart goes out to them.

Toni at Make It Perfect is organising a master list of bloggers who are having auctions, raffles, giveaways and sales on her blog, and this list will go live on the weekend.

I’m taking the idea of a “Giveaway with Conditions” from Jodie over at Vintage Ric Rac, (and hope she doesn’t mind I’m following her format of rules, and copying some of her instructions, because I think they’re clear and easy to understand and an awesome idea!)

 

Please read through CAREFULLY!!! Instructions are below the photos.

First up for grabs is a mixed media painting that I have been working on the past few days.  Layers and layers and layers of acrylic paint and texture are in this painting of a seahorse in seaweed.

Comes to you framed & ready to hang on your wall… measures 41cm x 16cm (approx. 16” x 10”)

And to say I’m a proud mum is an understatement.  I’m not the only one who has been busy creating.  My 7 year old son, who created artwork for the Victorian Bushfires in 2009, and the Haiti Earthquake in 2010, was the one who said it was time we made something to raise money again this year.

I love that he has compassion and heart.  I hate that every year (seems to be this time of year too), that there are terrible disasters happening…but I love that he thinks of others at these times.

He watched his favourite Faber Castell drawing DVD and drew the 3 Headed Norwegian Troll you see in the collage above on the TV (picture on the right), as well as other ideas from the DVD.

So in random order, these are the other prizes that will go out to lucky winners.  All are unframed.
