UPDATE: I just found out that my wee planet will be published in the Sept/Oct issue of Cloth Paper Scissors! Yippee! Happy Dance!
I was thrilled to hear that my latest “Wee Planet” creation was named a finalist in the 2012 Cloth Paper Scissors calendar contest, “On the Street Where You Live”!
Although I’m a bit bummed that I didn’t win (I’ll be honest), this has inspired me to create more artwork for competitions and challenges throughout this year. Congrats to the winners!
Since I always love seeing the “before, during and after” of how artists create their lovelies, I’ll add a “The Making Of…” post soon, so stay tuned!

Nikki,
I love your piece! Keep going for it. Every challenge keeps us growing as an artist and that’s really what it’s all about. I can tell that you put a lot of thought and effort in this piece and frankly… I think it is splendid! Looking foreward to your post!

Hi Nikki!
Don’t feel bad, I entered my work last year but it wasn’t chosen and this year it was, just try again next year! You never know!! Your piece is amazing so maybe they will publish it anyway 🙂
