CLOSED Giveaway: Custom Art from the Antique Fashionista!!

You guys should already know by now how much I love the original Austen-inspired art from Masha Laurence, aka the Antique Fashionista - she's been a part of every Austen event I've done, and her b e a u t i f u l original watercolor of Anne at Lyme is the basis for this year's Austen in August button! (She made the art for the Read Along button, too!)  She always gives such great stuff to this event, and I can't wait to see the new pieces she comes out with.

This year, I mentioned the idea of having a giveaway for a custom piece, so that whatever the winner gets will not only be as awesome as ever, but will have some personal significance, too.  I figured it was probably a long shot (I mean, it felt like so much to say, Hey, you make all this awesome stuff, now make us an something else!), but true to awesome-Masha form, she was happy to oblige! (Turns out she loves doing custom pieces, so...if you have something in mind, visit her Etsy!)

So, the winner of this giveaway will get a custom-designed 5x7 original piece of art with of their favorite hero, heroine or pair, with a quote of their choice in the background!  Something similar to this Henry, perhaps...  ------>

Deets:
  • 1 winner will get a custom piece of original art from Masha Laurence, the Antique Fahsionista
  • Art will be based on character/quote of their choice
  • The design of the art will be at the artist's discretion (but don't worry, everything she does will be awesome)
  • INTERNATIONAL
  • Ends September 5th
  • Fill out the Google form below (need more detail on this one than Rafflecopter can really handle!)
  • I'd suggest looking around Masha's etsy to get an idea of what you'd like for your piece.

  4. Oh my is this incredible! I loved the artwork on so many levels. The women's dress, the characters, the choices since I love Jane Eyre, North and South, and Austen. Wow, what a selection. I loved the bookmarks to the prints - not a bad one in the bunch....smiles. I have no creativity so each one I viewed was special. I'm so glad you brought this to our attention because tho' I sell vintage jewelry on Etsy I had never looked at the art section. I'll be visiting this site and favoriting it.
