The month of September has been tons of fun-I especially enjoyed The Week of the Crow. And I decided it was only fitting that I giveaway a piece of my mixed media folkart-a piece titled: “Me and my Crow” for this month’s Spread the Love giveaway.
And the winner is… Ethel!
Don’t forget to click on a commenters name-all the ones in orange have a website. Go for a visit and I know you’ll be glad you did.

Yes, September was a great month but it just flew by too quickly! I love your woman and her crow.
Congratulations Ethel on winning the painting.
That painting of the girl with the crow is precious Tipper! You know that painting you have of the little girl with the orange shirt standing with her arms straight up in the air, that had been my favorite until now. The crow painting upstaged it. That crow has Grandma Moses, Henri Rousseau, Matisse (think that is how it is spelled)and even Piccasso in it.
If you think I enjoyed the painting you’d be right; If a work of art has heart in it…it always shows.
Beautiful picture! Congratulations to Ethel!
congrats to ethel.. and i too love the picture.. you are a very talented lady.. and your beauty shines no matter what you are doing.. whether writing.. painting.. or just being you.. i am so happy i found this blog.. and it truly is a gift in itself.. i have learned so much, and laughed, cried and sang along with you and yours.
big hugs and ladybug love

WOW – am I lucky or what?! I absolutely love your artwork Tipper, and am honored to actually have a piece to hang in my home and enjoy every day! As if I wasn’t excited enough, the fact that it is a crow painting takes the thrill factor way over the top for me! To all of Tipper’s other fans; rest assured I do realize what a treasure I have received today! This beautiful piece will be hung in a place of honor in my home!
Another month gone by, where does the time go?
What a lovely piece of art you made Tipper! Congrats to Ethel!
Tipper,
Congradulations Ethel on your
folkart win. Its a special feeling
to have something made by our own
“Tipper of Appalachia.” I know
you’ll enjoy it…Ken
Liked the pic with the crow. Just threw out some old dry macaroni and the crows are making a racket while swooping down to get it. Congrats to Ethel on winning the pic.
Just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU for the pralines recipe you posted a while back. I’ve been struggling with pralines for two years now. Last night, I tried your recipe (with some moderations for my stove’s heat and my pot’s density), and they turned out GREAT. First batch outta’ the pot! Thanks again!
Tipper,
Wow what a list and I am sure there are so many reading that have not commented…but they will and join the Blind Pig Appalachian family…
Congratulations to Ethel…I love your folk art Tipper…so colorful and full of heart…
Thanks Tipper for all your work. As my little grandaughter would say, “This is the bestest day!” and you make every day special…
and OF COURSE we have a Crow making the announcement of love.
Congratulations to Ethel! Do you know, Ethel, that every picture from the Angel of Brasstown (that would be Tipper) comes with a very special blessing. It’s a lovely picture I know you’ll enjoy.
Like Luann, I’m noticing that your list of Blind Pig commenters is growing and that is very nice to see.
Wonderful art, Tipper. It is timeless in its beauty. The colors, the picture … the crow.
May I say, respectfully, that I’ve read Ethel’s writings and her letters to you and she is special. I’m happy to see her get this beautiful piece of art.
I wish I could give Kasie one like it.
Great to see how your list is growing! I’ve told lots of folks they should be reading your blog. Keep up the great work–love reading this.
