My First Published Piece of Artwork

Images from Wotdoin (Etsy.com)

Wow. I'm still a little giddy over it. I belong to the Artchix Studio Yahoo group and every month they offer contests and swaps in different, fun themes and I've been entering my artwork lately and...one of my ATC's was chosen to be included in their Chixies Pink Post Faux Postage Sticker Sheet, which they sell over at Artchix Studio. When I got the email telling me my artwork had been selected, it felt like I had won the lottery! It was a happy day. I think I have finally gotten over that fear of just putting my art out there and seeing what comes of it. I've joined other contests and swaps (see previous post) and I've got a whole bunch more lined up. What's great about these swaps is that it motivates me to create something on a regular basis. Before, I was doing almost little to no art. Now, I'm making something at least once a week (sometimes every day!)--and I feel like I daydream about art and projects of my own I'd like to start. Anyway, below is the piece that was chosen. I am proud of her. :)
