ARTkissed

How cool!

I just got my (free) copy yesterday.
And there I am, on page 19. It was a very nice surprise.

I have to admit....I found out last week, that my art was being published. Not through an email from Stampington as before, but after inquiring about my artwork...not being returned.
They've had my artwork for since August of 2008!
I know it's common for them to hold artwork for up to 12 months.. (according to their summissions info) But it was way past that, and I was wondering why they still had my artwork.

I emailed Stampington, about 6 months ago and I was told then that it was still being considered for publishing. Cool! But I never got an email informing me that it had been published.
Anyway...... I emailed them again last week, asking when I could expect to get my artwork back.
It was then that I was told that it was published and I could expect my art returned by the end of the month.
I am very happy And I realized I have to learn the art of patience!

A little about the "Saddle Shoes"
You can't really tell, but each color is a different layer. and the Shoes are "floating" (1/8 inch foam tape ) for added dimension. It was a fun piece to make and I little tricky, making the templates, so that they would all line up.

So it's an amazingly beautiful Spring day.
Sparkling... is a better discription.
The sunshine is intense and the sky is Bluer.. (Blue-er?) than blue!

I wasn't feeling good this morning and took a sick day.. (no... I don't have Spring fever)... So.. now I need to take a few Advil and maybe do a little artwork.

That's all for now...
Off to make the most of my sick day as best I can.
