an award and a new swap

was goin to michelles blog... http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/ to say thanx for the award for all my hard work and found out about a new cool looking swap.... had to sign up right away...

so you go to http://thelittlebluebirddiaries.typepad.com/ and read all about it and sign up! looks fun!

so the award is called the CREATIVE SNIT AWARD..... hillarious! very funny... i can see why michelle awarded me! :) so here's the low down...

~This award shall be presented only to worthy artists who have shown evidence of being in a creative snit.(I've copied and pasted most of this info from Jan's site to better explain)

*The definition of snit: snit - noun.a state of agitated irritation; "she was in a snit.". However, don't you agree CREATIVE SNIT requires a somewhat different definition?....creative snit - noun. a state of creative chaos, creative frustration, or a state of obsessive creativity: "she was in a creative snit.".

~ Therefore, worthy recipients of this prestigious award should demonstrate one or more of the following criteria:

***1) photos of their chaotic creative studio spaces see this post for pic of my "creative station"

***2) reports of staying up till the wee hours of the morning while consuming large amounts of coffee and/or chocolate in order to finish a swap or prepare for a show.

***3) documented frustration over the creative process.

***4) evidence of a large quantity of art created over a small period of time.

***5) photos of the recipient at vendor night at any art retreat because it goes without saying that ALL attendees at such events are either in, or will soon be, in a creative snit. AND FINALLY

***6) witnessing the recipient in a SNIT at a CREATIVE EVENT!

so now I get to pass it on.... oh and at the end I'll add the award....
