GIVEAWAY WINNER ... plus a Treat for Every Reader

In honor of our first stylish sponsor's love of millinery, we put the names of the giveaway entrants into a hat (one entry per reader), tossed, mixed, closed our eyes and drew out one lucky name.  And the winner of the Denise Fike Metallic Print is:

Barbara Hammond

Barb chose "Peony" (shown here)
(An artist herself, Barbara also writes the blog Zero to 60 & Beyond)

Barb, I'll be in touch with details.  Everyone else--don't despair! We have a treat for EVERY READER:   Enjoy 20% off Denise Fike's Metallic Series thru 6/30/11. (Visit Denise Fike Designs on Etsy and use code "STYLE.") 

That's just $32 for a piece of original art--a real steal.  On July 1 the price goes to $50 per piece, so take advantage of this special Style Maniac offer now.  Images of the 9 other prints currently offered are shown in the collage above.  Have fun shopping, and thanks to all for entering.

 Here's a bit more about these METALLIC PRINTS, as described by artist Denise Fike:
Each print is an original work, and is distinctive, as no two are alike.
Printed on metal and hand made paper.  

The spontaneity of the process results in a unique image with every print.

Once stabilized, I make adjustments to the art to enhance the piece.  

The art is framed, ready to hang, and measures:
overall - 6 1/8" x 8 1/8"
art- 5" x 7"
Premiere price $40
After June 30th: $50
