New Work Wednesday and a Giveaway!

10/30/2013

My amazing friend, Mary Beth Shaw has done it again!
She has a brand-spanking-new book out appropriately entitled Stencil Girl – after all, she is the Stencil Girl!
In her new book, Mary Beth guides readers step-by-step through 18 projects using stencils with fabric, clay, wood burning, encaustic, metalwork, canvas, paint, and even cupcakes!

Stencil Girl also contains inspiring artwork by 20 contributing artists, and I am honored to be one of them!
You can get the book on Amazon or through Mary Beth.

I am so very grateful to Mary Beth Shaw for including my work Navigate in her new book!
I couldn’t be more thrilled! It's been a dream of mine to have my art in a book!

Mary C. Nasser, Navigate, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas

And because I am sooo excited to be a contributing artist, I ordered an extra copy to give away!
I can’t wait to try every project in it, and I think you’ll want to, also!

To enter the drawing, just leave a comment below! Easy peasy!

Just comment by Sunday, November 3rd at 11:59PM Central Time!
Winner will be chosen using Random.org.

Congratulations, Mary Beth, on your fabulous new book, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making one of my dreams come true!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
And good luck!
Mary^
