Winning Witku Announcement

I apologize for the delay in announcing the winner of the Witku contest. Without further delay I am happy to announce the winning Witku was submitted by Rosemary Nissen-Wade. Her Witku made me laugh and I can picture myself doing what she wrote of and have a feeling she might have done it herself. I'm known to tap my fingers on the desk or anything close at hand when I'm counting out syllables and writing a haiku in my mind. I might even tap my husband if he were silly enough to hug me at the time I was working out a haiku in my head. Try and explain that one.

My husband hugs me.
Behind his back I count out
haiku syllables.

Rosemary, you'll need to contact me privately via email at info@savvyology.info and send me your mailing address so I can forward your Moments Matter Most reminder band prize. It is available in medium or large size. The medium is 7 3/8" and the large is 8 3/8". Please let me know which size you want when you send me your information. I promise not to share your address and will only use it to send you your reminder band.

Carrying on, I'd like to give honorable mention to seev for
his Witku about a dog tick.

Dog tick crawls up leg
looking for best place to bite,
but man bites dog tick.

A big thank you to everyone who submitted a Witku to the contest. I got a kick out of reading the entries and look forward to hosting another haiku related contest at some point.

Seaside Bound

Things will be quiet around here for the next few days while I escape to the seaside. Finally getting away for a long needed break and will be enjoying myself simply staring at the ocean and doing a lot of nothing. Well, maybe I'll squeeze in a bit of something here and there. I'm taking my camera along to play with. Oh, can't forget husband too. Maybe we'll get to sneak up the coast a bit to the pub with the pool table and have a game or two.



While I'm gone you could play with words a bit and submit a Witku for the contest. Only 2 weeks left to tickle my funny bone. Don't be shy.

What Do ACEO Cards, a Tesla Coil & Witku Have in Common?

They all share a spot in today's post. I'm currently working on a series of limited edition, embellished, and hand signed ACEO cards. What is an ACEO card you ask? Well, the acronym stands for Art Cards, Editions, and Originals.

An ACEO is basically a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch miniature work of art that can be traded with other artists or sold. Some collectors frame them while others store them in protective sleeves and cases just like sports cards.

I managed to get my hands on a stock of Canson Montval 140 lb cold press acid free paper this weekend. The finished cards look beautiful. When I have a set completed I'll take some nice photos and post them here on the blog.

If you're at all interested in Tesla coils you have to take a peek at this wild photo Lord Matt mentioned in his blog.

One last thing ... Don't forget to submit your Witku (funny haiku) and enter the contest! A handful of people have already participated but I'd love to read more. I challenge you to make me laugh or at least smile.

Actually, this is the last bit here. Honest. The picture to the left is a shot of our at-home school room set up for my son. This is where he and I spend most weekday mornings. It's a sunny quiet spot. Just another brief glimpse into my world.
