Send Me Some Love Preview

Happy Thursday All! Cheryl here.

I just wanted to share with you the eight entries that were sent to me for the Send Me Some Love contest. If you are a new reader you can read this post to get the background story. All of the pieces are wonderful and the judges had a tough time scoring. The points went back in forth and were very close.

Here they are in the order that I received them.

Above is a very meaningul hand painted and collaged box (4" x 4" x 6') from Chaotic.

The fabric heart is attached to a card stock (4" x 8.5") sent to me by BJ who is a friend of my aunts.

The infamous Peggy Robinson sent me one of her wonderful memory books that I plan to put a lot of my memorie in. (5.5" x 8" x 2")

At six years old, my youngest entry was Matthew Beeny. He made me this incredible pink, heart shaped pillow providing a heart shaped pocket to write a note to put my dreams in. (Approximately 12" x 12" x 2")

I'm a little surprised that Claudia did not write RAYdiate love in her drawing above. Her color charcoal drawing is a combination of Shine & Love. (Drawing 12" x 12")

Jennifer submitted an 8.5" x 12" framed pencil drawing. The simplicity of this drawing was a judges favorite.

Our Karlie sent me a 8" x 10" acrylic painting of love falling from the sky! The back says: I followed my <3 (heart) and Love grows in the reflections of not what it sees but what is holds.

Carlos H. sent me a 8.5" x 12" zentangle heart! Very cool.

The judges had their work cut out for them, right? Everyone had a different perspective of why they liked one piece over another. They would turn to me and ask me a question and I would say, "Nope. No input from me. I love them all. Which ones do you love?" It was great fun watching them. It made me happy.

Tune in tomorrow to see who won the contest!

Signing off until... tomorrow!

    Oh, man... who knew the competition was going to be so stiff?

    I am impressed at the entries that came your way, Cheryl and yes, I can see where your judges had their work cut out for them.

    Am I the pathetic, doting mother if I say how proud I am of Matthew's entry?

    Congratulations on a successful art contest. It was fun.
