Wednesday Wellspring: Merv And Dolores

Bubbling up from the well this week, is Merv And Dolores! This RNESTer is offering the winner's choice of one Merv And Dolores Matted Art Print! The print is of an original 5"x7" piece of Merv And Dolores artwork. Heather, the artist behind Merv And Dolores, created this original artwork on smooth hot press high quality Aquarelle Arches watercolor paper. She used pen and ink, acrylic ink and coffee to stain the paper. This print is printed on heavyweight 61lb matte finish paper using pigment-based ink, which means it will last 100+ years without fading. Each finished piece is matted with a single white mat with an 8"x10" outer measurement. This means you can place it in any ready made frame of your choice. Artwork will be signed and dated on the back (or the mat if you prefer).

You can find Heather and her wonderful creations around town over the next few months:

  • Saturday, April 2nd, 9:30am-3:00pm: First Baptist Church of Penfield, 1862 Penfield Road, Penfield NY 14526
  • Saturday, May 14th, 10:00am-4:00pm: The Arts & Crafts Fair at St. John of Rochester in Fairport to support the Sutherland Art Club

And now for the rules (This giveaway is open to the US and Canada!):
MANDATORY ENTRY #1: Go to Merv And Dolores, heart the shop, and then leave a comment here telling me your favorite item.
MANDATORY ENTRY #2: Become a follower of this blog and leave a comment letting me know- or if you are already, leave a comment saying you're a loyal follower.

    My Mother-in-law loved her custom digital artwork of Merv and her Grandson. It's a perfect conversation starter for her favorite subject...her Grandson! <3

    On the Merv and Delores site, I like the greeting card (I think that it's a Christmas Card!) with Merv holding a string of Christmas lights in his beak!
