Move Slow & Make Things Giveaway No. 6

The launch of my new book,  Move Slow & Make Things, is one week away!  This is when the nerves start to kick in.  I’ve done everything I can to make a beautiful book, and now it’s in the hands of the readers.  Of course, I have dreams for this book.  I hope it does well and it speaks to the people who need it most.

For this giveaway, I’m so excited to partner with Iron Orchid Designs.  I had the opportunity to collaborate with Sally of IOD on a collection of Christmas transfers using my oil painting.  In the book, I write about making room for others and making connections.  We can create on our own, but I believe our creative work greatly benefits from collaboration and partnering with like-minded artists.  Working with Sally on these transfers pushed me as an artist and showed me some possibilities with my work that I hadn’t considered.  (I’ll share more about the creation of this collection in a future post.)

 

To celebrate both the launch of the book and the IOD x Marian Parsons Cotswold Christmas collection, here is what we’re including in the giveaway…

 

1 Decor Transfer: A Cotswold Christmas

 – 8 Pages | 8” x 12” | Full Color | Celebrating the timeless charm of the English countryside at Christmastime, this collection captures classic English farmhouse style, festive wreath traditions, and delightful animals that add charming detail to your projects.
