It's a Bluegrass Banjo!!

      

It's really that simple! My new cut paper banjo is a bluegrass banjo as opposed to an old time banjo, like my original one. The bluegrass banjo (the one on your left) has a steel resonator behind the head, but I can't tell you much more than that. I would love to be able to pick away, but for now Laurence has convinced me I need to learn how to play the mountain dulcimer. I think it must be pretty simple.

Don't you love how these look together? I tried to use some of the same peppered paper for the new one to keep the colors similar. Maybe we'll hang both in the nursery when it's finished. I had one customer from Australia purchase a print of the old time banjo through my Etsy shop. He wrote and told me how excited he was to have it hanging in his baby boy's room, whose name is Banjo! It does have a nice ring to it, don't you think? ;)

Thanks so much to Patti who did some research and won this print in my first giveaway! Hurray! Both banjos are now listed in my Etsy shop.

Happy Banjo Giveaway!!!

Introducing my newest peppered paper instrument- another banjo! This was a commissioned piece by someone who saw a print of my first banjo, but had to have an original. I LOVE people who appreciate and purchase original art- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! I know original art can be expensive, which is why I offer high-quality prints, for people on a budget like me:) But, I am slowly trying to fill our little house with original works of art that make me happy and inspire me, and by doing so support a hard working artist.

However, for you, faithful readers, I'm having my first GIVEAWAY here on Peppered Paper! Let's say the first person to leave a comment saying what type of banjo this is, compared to my first banjo, gets a free 8x10 print of my newest piece- this banjo! It's very simple, so don't over think it, really just one word will describe it.

For those of you who have never ventured out of your email to comment, or who don't have a google reader, I've removed the login requirement. And, don't be shy, no one's reading the comments but me:)


Happy September, and happy giveaway day!!
