Fund-Raiser raffle

  • Hi All!
  • Today's blog is a bit of a plug for a raffle that is currently being held by my good friend Janice Williford, who is a fellow member of the The International Blessed Broodmare Project (TIBBP).
  • I may have mentioned previously, in my "drawing" phase a few weeks back that I had produced a little pen sketch inspired by an image I just found online. Well I wanted to donate it to TIBBP but wasn't sure how to present it. Janice told me to get it sent to her and to let her deal with finding a little frame and hopefully it could raise a few dollars (pounds, euros, yen...) for the cause.
  • Below is the sketch, that pad is about A5 size so it's not huge, you can even see a bit of a scale rule behind it which may illustrate the size too. In this photo the drawing is unfinished.

  • Well, Janice has done an amazing job of turning this little drawing into a lovely piece of art; she found and bought a beautiful frame that tones with the drawing perfectly, and also had a piece of matting (I call them inserts but I'm not sure of the official term) made up, with a very attractive double-cut to it which frames the image very nicely indeed!
  • Here is a photo that Janice took of the now complete artwork that is being raffled off. I will copy the terms of the raffle below as I don't want to miss anything out.

  • The artwork is the ORIGINAL drawing I did, it is signed and dated by me and I can supply all in-progress images to authenticate this if requested.
  • Tickets cost just $5 each, and ALL proceeds will be shared out in $25 blocks to the list of rescues that TIBBP supports (listed below).
  • There is no need to contact me about entry into the raffle, all queries should be directed to Janice but if you would like to contact me first then that's ok.
  • Good luck to all who enter, it'll be interesting to see to which country this piece is destined!

(The following text copied from the TIBBP Yahoo Group message from Janice, bullets added to help it read easier as blogger doens't like paragraphs!):

  • The link below shows the original artwork up for Raffle - tickets are only $5 each.
