It’s no secret that I love the work of Shannon Rankin (of Selflesh). You may remember her work from our recent studio tour and interview. Ringing a bell? Well, one of things we talked about in our interview was a new collaboration project that she recently began with artist, Justin Richel, called Intersect. To celebrate this new venture, we are doing a total THREE giveaways (one each day for three days) here on papernstitch!
Today’s giveaway is for this Star Map Embroidered print from the Selflesh shop. The print is 8×10 inches and retails for $30.
Want to win this? Here’s how to enter…
You can enter up to two times. 1. Visit Shannon’s shop, and browse around for your favorites, then come back here and tell us which ones you like best. 2. Twitter or blog about this giveaway and leave a link in the comments here with your twitter or blog link.
Giveaway will end on February 15th at 11:59 pm eastern time.

Janae Easton at Platypusfile commented on February 1st, 2010 at 9:00 pmThe combination of map and the heart has a lot of personal meaning, a combo I use in my own artwork. Loving the anatomy series: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36935098
Bekah commented on February 1st, 2010 at 9:58 pmI really like the “Bird Subscription – 4 Original Map Collages” – they are just beautiful!
Emily commented on February 1st, 2010 at 10:02 pmThanks for a great giveaway!
Gorgeous work, I am stunned. I love the commission pieces, thinking about getting one done for Valentine’s Day. I’m also crazy about the framed dreamer map collage. The giveaway heart item is wonderful, I hope I win!
Liz commented on February 1st, 2010 at 10:21 pmI like her print “Passage”. Very pretty.
JulieSuzanne commented on February 1st, 2010 at 11:24 pmI love this Star Map and the Warm Heart prints.
Meghan commented on February 1st, 2010 at 11:59 pmIt’s hard to pic a favourite from such an amazing array of artworks but I really admire the custom piece Two Hearts. Perhaps it’s because of all the weddings I’ve been going to lately. It’s such an artful way to express the connection between two people, romantic or otherwise.
Jean commented on February 2nd, 2010 at 12:48 amThere’s so many to like. Aside from the Warm Heart, I love the Original Map Collages and Passage.

Elissa C commented on February 4th, 2010 at 9:20 amthis is BEAUTIFUL and so different. i really love this piece and the Two Hearts piece in her shop. the simplicity of just 2 images on the page and yet the intricacy of the maps and threads encompasses the paradox of life and love. i love it.
