Giveaway: Handmade Letters

  Giveaway is now closed.  Winner is #5, Heather of Heather’s Hutch!

LoveLettersbyDina is a new Etsy shop, opened by a young mom who is very artistic and loves to create.  Dina lives in Israel, not far from Caesarea (doesn’t that sound exotic?  To me, Caesarea is a place in the Bible).  She works in her studio, which she says is “located in a small village, at home, with a nice yard, a cat and a dog…”.  And a baby.  Isn’t this adorable and idyllic?

 

Dina graduated from Bezalel academy of arts and design, Jerusalem, as a Illustrator-designer. She is foremost a painter and sells original portraits and artwork in her other shop DachaStudio, but opened LoveLetterByDina because “I really like folk stuff, and I enjoy "painting" letters with different designs, patterns and textures. My inspiration is folk art, books, fairy tales, textile and ornaments. At the moment I am working on a Hebrew alphabet too, with plans for other languages (Russian, German etc.. including symbols and more). I will offer soon printed signs for home decor and greeting cards.”

She puts a lot of beautiful detail into each letter.  She makes different sets, such as the whole alphabet (you get the whole thing, plus a couple of symbols; I just cropped it for size).  This one is in Vivid colors.

The magnets are prints - reproduced from original oil pastels paintings, mounted on magnet-board (a bit flexible).  Each letter is 1.5” square, and can be rearranged however you like.  This set of “I Love You” is in the Indian Summer colors.

She also has Black and White, as below, and Orange and Brown and Golden Brown colorways.

 

 

For the giveaway, Dina is offering a set of four letters spelling “Love”, using a heart as the letter O, in your choice of colorway. Update 2/16: since so many of you have said “Home” is your favorite, Dina says the winner can choose either “Love” or “Home”! 

For all the colorway choices, you can look at Dina’s alphabets.
