Win Free Stuff! The Tiny Art Show at Greenville, NC’s Emerge Gallery opened up this past Thursday with a preview sale, and I can’t possibly do the show justice with words – each of the minuscule masterpieces are deserving of their own recognition – from jewelry to notecards, paintings to ceramics, and many other trinkets and knick knacks smaller than a shoebox and a variety of pieces that would even fit in your pocket.
So what better way to showcase some of the art from the exhibition than to share some of it with you all? That’s right – we have three items from the show that we will be giving away over the next few weeks to you all – so keep an eye out for upcoming posts!
For our first, we have a tiny painting by artist Rebecca Ives that is about 2.5″ x 3.5″ – check it out!
If you think you’d like this gorgeous piece to spiff up your desk, office, or anywhere else that might be in need of a small dose of fine art – listen up!
To win, all you need to do is respond to this post with the following information:
- Your Name
- Your Email Address
- What’s something small that brightens your day?
We’ll take entries until Saturday, February 13, so get yours in today! Don’t forget, we’ll be doing several more giveaways from the Tiny Art Show, so if you can’t get in between now and February 21st to check it out, you can still win some art here at Live Make Create.
Best of luck!

Featured Artists Sorry for the lengthy absence! Traveling around Thanksgiving and making a small shift to being home “full time” have left things in a bit of disarray -the first of the month (December in particular!) is also very busy over at The Slytherin Dorms so I’ve been very busy over there! Today’s artist, however, clearly has way more dedication than myself – this artist from Asheville, North Carolina has decided to make one painting every day and post them on a blog for all of us to see – as well as in a shop for sale!
The paintings are usually simple, but just as often still eye catching – and it’s the motive that caught my eye: creating art daily takes dedication! It’s nice to also see such a traditional method of creativity popping up – though the occasional photograph shows up in the daily line up, it’s a breath of fresh air to see oil painted landscapes amongst today’s digital age. Speaking of Landscapes, especially – the forest, field, and lake scenes are so detailed at times that you forget the piece was only created in a day.
If you’re interested in checking out these instant masterpieces, you can sneak a peek at the One a Day Blog, or pick up one of your own at his Etsy Shop along with some other eye candy for your browsing pleasure, including some beaded jewelry. Well worth checking out!
