Prizes

Prize for June
This month was are delighted to be sponsored by Arielle from the Wax Fruit company.
A contributor to our challenges, her images are simply stunning.

Arielle writes
I'm Arielle Gordon and I started selling digital images under the name Wax Fruit Company in January of this year. I'm a wife and mom of 2 babies, Alex & Maisie, and live in southern Alabama. After my day job, and evening 'mom' job, I put the kiddies to bed, brew up a pot of coffee and start drawing. The images I draw are the kind I like to craft with... slightly realistic, sometimes a little quirky, but always fun to color!

She will be offering $20 value to be spent in her store.
