NOVEMBER CHARADES WINNER!
We have a winner in the November Charades contest! The movie title was indeed "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Congratulations to BPR Designs for being the first one to guess the title. A special little surprise gift from my shop will be on its way.
The big winner, though, for my "Imagine It" print is:

Diana
Diana's Etsy shop is Lancasterart, and her "Mad Cow" was one of the clues for the Charades game. When I popped over to take a look at her work I was blown away by her "gallery of contemporary spiritual art and the spirit horse paintings." I am especially taken with the spirit horse paintings. Here's some of my favorites:
Diana also has animal art, figurative art, and abstracts:
Take a look at all of her other work - it's lovely! That's why I like doing "Let's Play Charades" and having you play the game - we discover so many new artists on Etsy that we might not have discovered otherwise!

Last Days
Sorry I have been a little absent, but I have been playing Nurse Ratched* for my sister, who had back surgery this week.
But I want to remind you that the Charades contest is now on a shortened schedule. So you only have until this Sunday to post a comment (or two or three) to be entered into the drawing for my "Imagine It" digital print. My sister says you do not want to incur the wrath of Nurse Ratched!!

Two New Treasuries!
Two lovely treasuries! One of my carousel creatures is included in this colorful, whimsical one by bemusedart . Stop by her shop and see more fun artwork!
Another colorful treasury was created by stefny68. I would like to be gifted with all of these too! Stephanie included my liquid magenta digital collage print, one of my own personal favorites. And speaking of favorites, many of the artists at the top of my list are included in this collection.
Stephanie also included one of my garden themed greeting cards in a collection on her blog - it's gorgeous! Take a look: http://dragonflydegignstudios.blogspot.com/

November Charades Contest
Here's the Charades contest for November!
How it works: I post art from various Etsy shops and each photo represents one word in the title, in the correct order. In some cases (but not all) I will ignore short prepositions (a, an, the).
Change in the rules: I gave this some thought and decided running the contest for an entire month is entirely too long! It's too easily forgotten. So I'm changing up the rules and we'll try running this contest for just one week. So ... the winning name will be drawn next Sunday, November 8. No more time to procrastinate!
The prize: A drawing will be held from all comments submitted. The prize will be an 8"x8" print of the first piece: "Imagine It" from my Etsy shop. Also: The first person to submit the correct answer, in addition to being in the drawing, will receive another small gift from my shop, perhaps a gift card or an ACEO or some other surprise.
Want to increase your odds? You can be entered in the drawing up to three times: (1) Take your guess, (2) In a separate comment, tell us your favorite artwork from one or more of these shops, (3) In a separate comment, tell me you signed up to follow my blog. If you are already following, you can post a separate comment to mention that. (More than three comments from the same person will not be counted.) The winner will be selected by random number generator.
WHAT IS IT:
Good luck!

OCTOBER CHARADES WINNER!!
We have a winner for the $15 gift certificate to my shop for the October Charades Contest. But before I make the announcement ... no one guessed the answer and I'm a little surprised. I said that it would be tougher, and I dropped hints all over the place. For instance:
Hint: "Not every movie is a great movie." This one was a sequel and although I didn't see it, it was soundly panned by the critics.
Hint: "Is it spelled sci-fi or sy-fy?" That makes it a science fiction movie.
Hint: "It's interesting to me that two very different objects (like maybe an animal and something else) can accomplish the very same result in the end." This was a HUGE clue! Obviously, I was referring to the first clue, the cow - what's the cow DOING? He's eating grass and making it shorter!
Hint: I also posted clues in my comments: "Each artwork represents one word in the title. So there's four words in this title. (Actually, one of them is a word and a number.)" Again, pretty obvious I was referring to the second clue.
Hint: "The answers aren't quite as OBVIOUS as before." So ... think outside the box.
Hint: "The untitled last piece of art shown here is titled 'Cyberspace.'" This was a total giveaway.
OKAY, are you ready??
LAWNMOWER
MAN 2:
BEYOND (The word was in the title)
CYBERSPACE (I gave you this answer)
The original 1992 movie, Lawnmower Man, was apparently pretty successful, especially in terms of its visual effects. Tagline: God made him simple. Science made him a god. It was adapted from the Stephen King book of the same name and they all should have reconsidered the whole idea when Stephen King had his credit removed following a lawsuit!
Then comes the sequel, Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace: God made him simple. Science made him a god. Now, he wants revenge. One of the comments posted on IMDB.com: "Rare is a movie this bad!!!!!"
I thought I was being clever and tough with this one, and apparently I succeeded too well. For future games, I have three hints:
1. Think outside the box
2. Google search
3. Get friendly with http://www.imdb.com/
I'll post the new game for November and hopefully I'll hit somewhere in between - not too easy, not too tough. And I may change up some things. Still thinking. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, here's our winner:
Congratulations, Carapace!!! I'll be in touch with our winner to get her choice from my shop.
So what do you think? Are you pouting or are you laughing?
(I'm doing both - pouting because no one guessed, so no free gift; laughing because I fooled you! ROFL)
