Giveaway : 'Print Workshop' by Yellow Owl & Workshop

How lucky am I to be able to give TWO BOOKS away today!! When a copy of Print Workshop was send to me by the lovely Kim from Randomhouse I immediately asked her whether I could host a give way, because the book is simply GREAT! I loved reading more about printing in general, but more importantly seeing the nice examples Christine shares with us. I particularly like the 'cityscape pillows' and the 'royal wax ideas' . The book truly inspired and encouraged me to start some projects myself at home. The author of the book Christine Schmidt is also the founder and owner of Yellow Owl Workshop.  You probably have see their great stamp sets somewhere around the web before or even here on Bloesem :)

So what do you have to do to win this great crafting book: just leave a comment below and tell us why you would like to win it. 

Giveaway is open until Wednesday next week and the two winners will be announced the following day. 

If you can't wait until next week or would buy a copy as a present for someone then click here to buy it online or simply go to amazon. 

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. THE LUCKY WINNERS ARE:  Tingla and Mirthe

[Vânia]

Oh, I'd love to learn about printing techniques, but I can't find classes after work, so this book is perfect for me! :)

:) My mom posted a comment up at the top there Maggie Farley! She's so precious! She never goes to blogs except mine, but she found yours and actually commented!! She wrote me an email all about it (I of course knew all about your blog;))!! I hope you pick her for two reasons - she'll never stop talking about it - she'd be so so stoked! and no. 2 bc she will give me the book lol and I DO love printing - my guy and I have a print shop, but I love the old school printing more, but never take for granted the awesomeness of a digital press! If mom my doesn't win maybe I'll buy her the book and just tell her she did haha! It's just make her day!
ps this is a very cool giveaway!

I was just leafing through this book last night at Urban Outfitters. I almost bought it but then figured I can wait a bit longer... It is a really beautiful book. So simply explained and the projects look to be very do-able and professional looking at the same time. If I received this book I'd get stamping and printing lickety-split!!!
here's to give-aways!!

Great post and very beautiful and interesting book. I'd loooove to win this book first of all because I love arts in general and I'm always looking for new forms of arts and never thought that printing could be something I could do and second because I live in Tunisia (North Africa) and would never be able if I wanted to to buy the book electronically ( we don't have the option) or in the stores as I don't think they sell it here. Thanks very much for the discovery anyway

[Emma Wilson]

I realize that it is technically Wednesday already ... however I just found this site for the first time and well since I run a small print studio in Picton, Ontario I thought I should try and win this amazing book for our "how-to" library. They would be great for some of our youth workshops :) Hope it isn't too late.

I love this book! I am working on printing on clay and this would be a great help with the process as well as a great inspiration! Thanks for the giveaway...

[Silja Kristjánsdóttir]

Wow - I am studying to become a textil teacher in Iceland and this book would be such a great addition to my studies. I have tried a little handprinting but would love to learn more and try it out with my kids.

(Plus - I am pretty sure no-one in Iceland has this book ;)

Big hugs,
Silja

[Iris Name]

I find myself trying to come up with innovative ideas for etching. Everything around me jolts ideas into my head. After flipping through the pages of Print Workshop I feel like my creative "juices" would flow more freely.

I'd love to give your masterpiece to my daughter as a gift! She loves crafts, but especially loves printing, and just recently found an antique print press. She also has her own blog, and I can't wait to tell her about you unless she's already found you and your beautiful work! Thank you for the opportunity.

[Priscilla]

Wow! Such a charming and inspiring book! Just perfect for getting back into crafting and creating some much-needed "me/sanity" time away from the stresses and dramas of everyday life. What a way to escape! ;) Thank you for organising such a lovely giveaway.

This is a good reason to improve my English ... this book looks great, the few pictures make you want to start doing print jobs ...

[heleen]

Printing is very tempting to me. I already bought some stuff to do it myself and actually did some, but I find the results a bit disappointing. But when I read 'Uneven. Imperfect. Just right' in that book, that gives me confidence to start again! It looks to be THE perfect book for starting printers like me.

[Maya]

Looks like a very lovely book!

I'm really getting into printing and would love this book to turn my back room into a badass art space!
