Only one entry per person. You may send more than one magnet, but everyone gets only ONE entry in the drawing for Iggy. I want everyone who sends me a magnet to have an equal chance at winning. Your magnet(s) will not be judged! The winner will be randomly chosen.
International participants are welcome!
Please include a 3 x 5 inch index card (or similarly sized paper) with the following information:
On front of card: Your Name (required)
On back of card: Your E-Mail Address (required) & Website (optional)
Failure to include this information will disqualify you from the drawing for Iggy.
Magnets must be HANDMADE. Store bought magnets will be disqualified. If you are not very crafty, find a small object that you like and glue a magnet to it. I find two-part epoxy works really well for this.
Your magnet doesn’t have to fall into any particular theme or color scheme. Just make something that makes you happy! :-D However, if you need some ideas… The color scheme of my studio is white, teal, leaf green, and bright pink. My favorite animals include octopuses, sharks, hyenas, and frogs. Dragons are awesome. I love Boston Terriers. I like tulips and succulent plants. Nonesuch Doll or Sproutling fan art would be cool, too.
Your package must have a postmark of June 1st or earlier. Packages postmarked after June 1st will be disqualified. That being said…
The drawing for Iggy will be held on June 15th! Please make sure your magnet will arrive in time! If I do not have your magnet in time for the drawing, I will not be able to include you. International participants should especially keep this in mind!
By submitting a magnet to this giveaway, you are giving me permission to post photos of your magnet and your first name online. Please include your website on your index card if you would like proper credit. If you do not want your magnet to appear online, please write “anonymous” under your name on your index card.
Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you make! :-D

The winner will receive Iggy along with the new letterpressed COA packaged in the new Nonesuch Garden box. No purchase necessary. Shipping of the prize will be free to anywhere in the world.)
First doll finished in my studio! An amazing custom moth with a dapper little vest! :-D Now I really want to finish the Monarch butterfly I started a million years ago…
