Christmas Giveaway Day 9: Patriot Portraits from Melissa Jaine

Today's giveaway is from a lady on the other side of the world, but she's become a lovely friend, and recently, my newest sponsor. Melissa Jaine lives in Australia, but I heard of her all the way in America when she began her awesome Military Girls Interview Series. (I was lucky enough to be the first girl interviewed!) She's now added a new project to her many talents and interests: Patriot Portraits.


She took a not-so-great photo of me and turned it into the artwork you see. How cool is that? You may have noticed the first photo has been my profile picture in Blogger- I think it's perfect! They look fresh, new, and totally unique. You just send her a photo or two of yourself (she also does pet portraits- see below), and she transforms it into art!


Melissa is giving the winner of this giveaway one “kit & caboodle” package worth $70! You'll receive an 8”x10” digital print, iPhone & iPad wallpaper, and a fine art print on Arches watercolour paper, signed by Melissa and sent through the snail mail.

Here's a little bit about Melissa and the Patriot Portraits:


I love Flags and Faces and I'm thrilled to have found a way to bring them together. Patriot Portraits put you (or your loved one, human or animal!) in the picture. A great way to show off your love of country with a unique piece of artwork created just for you.

Here's a great chance to win $70 worth of custom artwork from a wonderful artist! I know you'll be as happy with your portrait as I was with mine.
