How Your Pet Can Be In The . . . Calendar
Hello All,
As some of you may already know I have taken on a new project. I am going to be helping the humane society with a fund raiser to benefit abandoned and abused animals. We all love our animals and many of you own a rescued pet. So... here's your chance. Enter the contest below and let us know how your pet was rescued and why your they deserves to be a pet pin up for a month.
We are also looking for help getting the word out about the contest and to let people know that it will be for sale in the late fall. So please feel free to share this with your friends. I will add a PDF file on my site for anyone who would like to download it.
I'll keep you posted as things progress with this project.
Till next time!
How Your Pet Can Be In The . . . Calendar
It’s easy. Send a digital picture of the pet who has won a place in your heart and he or she may win a place in the calendar too. Here are the rules:
1. For just a $10 entry fee, the first 180 entries will be guaranteed a place on one of the days of the calendar. First come, first assigned for the specific day, but you can give us a selection of several days and we will do our best to assign one of those. You can enter online or send in this form and then email the picture to us. You can enter more than one pet but there is a fee for each entry.
2. Your pet must have been adopted or rescued from any humane organization or animal control officer. You are not limited to dogs and cats.
3. If we receive your entry by May 29th, 2012, your pet will be entered into a competition to win a professional photo shoot with Ellen Gerberich of Nature’s Palette Photography, to be used on one of the 13 main pages of the calendar. Entries will be judged by Ellen Gerberich and the OCHS calendar committee. All decisions are final. If your pet is chosen you will be notified of the arrangements for the photo shoot to create the calendar page. (Final deadline for all entries is June 30, 2012.)

Bloody House
Hi folks,
Some here will remember me. I've been away on some writing adventures. I was originally involved on numerous sites, and had to cut back to concentrate on my bread and butter, my published works. Since I've been gone, I've sold numerous poems and short stories. Add to this a few books I've had published recently as well as all of the Editing I've been doing on other writer's short stories and Novellas. My book cover work is advancing too.

The truth behind NETWORKING
Notes about NETWORKING from "The Profitable Artist" by Artspire
Networking
“...is about developing a base of people who will support your efforts and want you to succeed....
Networking is about finding and building relationships with people you care about who are linked to new opportunities, new markets...”
Attend art openings and start making new friends.
“A genuine interest in other people delivers a genuine interest in you.”

Tip
At the Hang Local, Artist and curator Ty Marshal asked me this question:
Maria, you had a lot of art shows last year. What is your secret?
At that time my only response was networking.
Networking did help me find new opportunities to show my art in different venues,
but I realize that I didn't five a complete answer.
The real "secret" that helps me, and many other professional artists,
to showcase my work is the awareness of the many web sites that publish opportunity listings.
Here are some that I check out weekly:

Delightful Deva Tee Shirts!
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to post an update about the Delightful Devas. Although we are still selling the Delightful Devas as canvas wall hangings, the Devas decided they would like to see more of the world.
As a result, they are now available as beautiful ladies tee shirts as well. This way they able to get out into the world on a more personal level. Be sure and stop by the CNY Artists' store in Shoppingtown Mall to see them. They will be vey happy to see you!
