Hello Guest Giveaway lovely! Please tell us a little bit about you , who are you, where you’re from!??
Hello! My name is Melissa and I’m a graphic artist and mother from Pennsylvania.
Tell us about what you make & your inspiration?
Most of my images are photo-manipulation, which is combining several photographs together to create an illusion or deception through various image editing techniques.
I’ve always loved and been inspired by anything fantasy and I enjoy creating my own little dream places.

What is your favourite item to make/sell ?
I’m always thrilled when someone purchases one of my prints,
It’s such a great feeling to know that someone likes my artwork that much )

Do you have any favourite Etsy items you’ve bought?
My favorite would have to be our wedding bands from  singleBbeautiful.etsy.com!  D
I also wear my Twilight Jasper Garnet Sterling Stacking Ring from Retsina.etsy.com every day,  I’m completely addicted to madhattersoap.etsy.com’s soap,
and I ‘m in love with my many prints from TheNebulousKingdom.etsy.com.
