Mind Wide Open: And our Winner is....

MWO is a CHALLENGE/CONTEST BLOG with REALLY SIMPLE RULES TO PLAYIf you are new to Mind Wide Open we offer a challenge the first of each month. The challenge is that you must use the image provided in some manner, small or large, in your submitted artwork.Sometimes a word prompt will be offered in conjunction with the image in case your muse needs alittle jumpstart. The word prompt itself does not have to be used in the work but it can if you choose.

When the image is posted I give you a week (sometimes a little more, dependent on circumstances here at the shabby cottage) to get an image of your artwork to me. We encourage all mediums and all skills. It is always fascinating to see every one's take and treatment of the same image.

Artwork is due by midnight (wherever your time zone) on the deadline date specified when the image is posted. Please send the image in jpeg format and if you send more than one image, I reserve the right to post what I deem best for viewing. Also, if you have a blog (no selling sites please) send me the link with your artwork and I will post it with your entry. Once all artwork is received, the images will all be posted and the blog open for about a week for voting.

The artwork with the most votes receives a $20.00 shopping spree w/free shipping to shop at Shabby Cottage Studio. That's all there is to it. Simple really.

Hopefully the image provided will inspire you and get you in the workroom and focused on creating a piece of art. It's always nice to find a project that helps us focus on starting and finishing a piece of art and that is what the underlying motive of this challenge is all about. That and just plain having fun! Because it's important to not forget to do something fun for ourselves!

Next month we'll get back on track with our Challenges and I"ll put one up for you March 1. Hard to believe that it's not that far away!

See you soon!

HOW TO VOTE:
One vote per person.

Voting must be contained only to the post announcing voting is open, or it will not be counted. The other way to vote is to send an email HERE Artists may vote for themselves.

If you are not sure how to vote on the blog it is very easy: Scroll to the bottom of the most recent "Time to Vote" post (not the page). Your vote only counts if left on that post. Look for the tiny print after the last image and right under my sign off name... you will see a number in front of the word Comments (ie: 12 Comments) in tiny letters. Click on it and a dialog box will open where you can leave your comment/vote.

Entry with the most votes wins a $20.00 shopping spree with free shipping at Shabby Cottage Studio and two runners up receive a free collage sheet of their choice.

If I was given a link I have linked it to the artists name. Please stop by and visit them! And make sure you cast your vote! I know it's hard! It always is!
