One World One Heart 2011

OWOH is here, hurray! 
It's the beloved Lisa Swifka's 5th annual One World One Heart Giveaway,  
My name is Waxela (wa-shay-la), and I have always been an artist.  I make art dolls and sock monkey cake toppers, among other things.  I have two kids, a toddler and a teen.  I never know who is going to have the next tantrum...my toddler, my teen, or me!  Occasionally my husband has a meltdown too, but usually he's picking up the pieces and putting us all back together.

I'm so happy to share this fun event with you and to offer a little something I made.

My door prize is a One World One Heart mixed media fairy that I made especially for this event:

She can be hung on a wall and has a plush body, polymer clay face, arms, and legs, and laminated paper wings, and a beaded wand.
She will be flying to the winner with a package of 4 heart fabric covered buttons which I covered, and a polymer clay textured heart which I also made.


The drawing is open to all bloggers.
If you would like to be included in my giveaway drawing, please leave a comment on this post and be sure I can reach you through your blog or leave your email address.  
The sign up ends on Feb. 17th at midnight.  On Feb 18th I will randomly choose a  winner and post the name on my blog. (I will email the winner too).
I would like it if you include a link to your OWOH post if you are participating so I can visit your blog too!
(it is not mandatory, though)

Thank you for visiting,
Waxela (wa-shay-la)

I love your doll. She's beautiful. Please count me in. ~Michelle, OWOH participant #598

Brianne said...

Hi, Waxela . Please put me in for your drawing. My email address is oasis1085@bellsouth.net. I have been amazed at how many people are creating art dolls. I have just had the calling, or, rather just heeded the call. I didn't really know that there was such a wide, beautiful community out there until the OWOH event. If you have time, please visit me at Under the Florida Maples. I have a little Earth Keeper doll givaway. I'm #495. I love your aka. Peace. Brianne

What's up Duck? said...

Hello! Just roaming through the blogs participating in the event and finding so many talented people in the blogosphere! I only wish I'd heard about all this sooner.

She's beautiful! I've never seen a fairy like her, doubt I ever will again. One of a kind.

Just in case I win I'll leave my email.
nutamuATaol.com

Just switch AT with @ (I do this to hopefully foil internet roaming email bots)

Georgina said...

Waxela, so nice to meet you. I couldn't help but laugh at your comment about who's going to throw the next tantrum!! I can remember those days, all too well!! LOL Now it's my daughter's turn. She is having to face the fact her 10 year old is "in-love" and already hating this little girl!! LOL Told her I have now officially handed over the reins!!

I love your work...so whimsical...just right up my alley!! One of my professors told me some years back, no matter what, I will always have a whimsical spirit...didn't quite know how to take that, since I was a much older student and all that youthful anger had left me years before!! LOL Please sign me up for your giveaway and please come by my place and sign up for mine.
