Paying it Forward

[averygoodun42]

Pay It Forward: I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment here on my blog. I don't yet know what that gift will be, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your blog.

It will most likely be art of some medium or other, so in your comment either tell me specifically what subject matter you want/like, and/or colors you want me to play with. :-)

Oh, and don't post contact info in the comment, please.

I've already been spoiled...

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

But?

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

No but at all.

I've already been spoiled. :D

In fact, I ought to do something for you.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, you are under absolutely no obligation, so 'ought' has naught to do with it.

If you want to, however, I certainly wouldn't say no. ;D

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Then I shall.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Well thank you! *squees softly*

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Art, textile, or shiny, shiny things?

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

It is up to you. (I know, I'm no help at all. :-) Do what pleases you.

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

tsks.



Though I have an idea for you.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

See? I would hate to influence ideas already forming.

Your artwork is always beautiful, and would be a fabulous gift! How about if I tell you that I'm planning on an ocean/beach theme for my living room? Denim blue and navy furniture (or at least slipcovers), white walls, and that mottled-brown, doesn't-show-the-dirt carpet. So maybe something that would compliment that?

And I've posted this meme myself, so take a look if you're interested!

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Um, okay, I'll keep that in mind... Do you want me to keep it California ocean/beach theme or can it veer into the tropics a tad?

[keladry_lupin]

Hey, do what you want! I gave a suggestion, since you asked for one, but it's all up to you. I just appreciate being the recipient of an Avery gift in the first place. *wink*

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Me please? =)

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Of course! Anything in mind?

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Something autumnal?

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! You got it!

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Can do that.

Any favorite shape(s)? (Ideas are still coelescing)

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmm. My immediate reaction is a diamond, though I don't know why!

[muggle-prof.livejournal.com]

Um, well, since no one else has jumped in... *raises hand*

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Okay! Any thoughts or colors you can inspire me with?

[muggle-prof.livejournal.com]

Anything from nature would be good -- leaves, trees, your garden, beachscape, etc

[cecelle.livejournal.com]

If there's still a spot left, I'd so love it! :-)

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

You got it! Any favorite colors you want to use?

[cecelle.livejournal.com]

Squee!!
Well, my dining room is celery green with coral trim, and the colors in there tend to the tropical-beachy. So any island/beach/flowers/tropical fish/garden sort of general theme would be perfect... I love all different styles from abstract to realism.

I am so excited!

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

And now, my dear, I need your address sos I can sends you your gift.

Please email it to me at averygoodun at hotmail dot com. :-)

[minuet99.livejournal.com]

Oooh me! Me! Me!!!

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

You've got it, dear! Anything specificish you'd like?

[minuet99.livejournal.com]

Hmm... well... I *adored* the piece that you did for the Exchange... SS & HG in a hot embrace, yet clothed. Selfishly, I would adore something like that - but that's pretty specific.

Otherwise, I like both abstract and specific art, and I adore a deep purple (more blue than red) - I like pretty much any colors though not much of a fan of orange or yellow in mass quantities... vivid over pastels but that's just a preference

Nature is awesome - honestly I can't think of a piece of your art I didn't like so I'm pretty much open to anything...
