Give Away: World of Froud (signed) Catalog


oh how they move when they walk
hips they do sway is their talk
they glide as a team
they stream and they gleam
oh how they move when they walk
~


in Jane Davenport's class: I ♡ Drawing
(awesome wonderful teacher and class!)
we are learning how to make our girls look as though they are walking

do they look like they are walking?

I love all my blog friends!
Yes that is you ~

you've been kind and supportive
you encourage and teach me
you inspire and keep me company along our journey!

I want to offer a wee awesome gift, 
if you like faeries that is!

right now has a Exhibition of Brian, Wendy and Toby Froud's art.
I bought a signed 108 page catalog that I would like to give away to one of you!

I will choose ONE winner on Valentine's day. 
I know that is far away, or is it?!

(update: winner will be randomly chosen
January 31st. Maybe it will arrive to the winner on Valentine's day)

108 pages of faerie land!


if you want to leave a comment, but do not want to win this book,
write
"no fairy book please"
in your comment
or something like that.

(sorry to say that one corner arrived crushed, still it is awesome!)

  8. They are gorgeous Tammie and they are definitely walking. I have been contemplating the i heart drawing course and I think I will start to save now :) And yes I love fairy books.

  9. Ooh I would have loved to see that exhibition. I love Brian's work, he is such an inspiration. Can you imagine what goes on in that mind of his?

    Now as for these ladies - they are most definitely walking and gliding down that catwalk. Love what you did and really wishing I was doing that class with you. Drawing legs scares me!

  10. Beautiful bodies! I have to learn how to draw bodies well. :)
    You know, I still have my first book by Froud & Lee, "Fairies". My parents bought it for me when I was a child in 1979!! It is like something sacred to me.

  25. I so love fairies and would love to win this one! My comment to you is yes, yes, yes isn't it fantastic how one can learn so much from this beautiful electronic connection we have to the universe!! I can't even measure how far I have come artistically. The most important thing I have learned though, is to TRY something. Just doing the something is the thing, right? Well hopefully, right. *smiles* Norma
    p.s. yes those ladies are moving!!
