Hooray!!! The Artist's Studio wins first place!
Christina from Little Victorian contacted me this morning with the good news that The Artist's Studio had won first place! :D
I get to choose my $100 gift certificate from Michaels, Home Goods or Etsy. Decisions, decisions! We winners also will receive a one-year subscription to Miniaturas, a delightful Spanish miniature magazine, along with a feature in the magazine! Hooray!
Thank you to Christina for a wonderful contest and congratulations to Lyssa and Audra (the other two winners). I love both their projects! :D A big round of applause for all the other contestants, too, for a job very well done!
And a very special thank you to everyone who voted for me! Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to me! Thank you!

This has been one of my favourite projects to follow! I've just been amazed at the realism and creativity you've put into it. As an artist myself I'm wishing I could just move right in! The deck is probably my favourite part, not just the incredible leaves but even the little lights going up the stairs. You were so thoughtful in everything. Congrats on the contest!

‘Grats, Brae. It was such a pleasure and inspiration to follow the development of this place.

Congratulations Brae. Awesome news. Look forward to seeing what you get with your prize money.

Well deserved, Brae! Do you think you could do a tutorial on taking mini photos for blogs. Yours are the best and clearest about (and the easiest on the eyes). I'm sure we'd all be grateful and we'd all benefit both as bloggers and as blog readers.
