Earth Day Giveaway


Earth Day is this Friday, April 22! A few years ago I made this edition of books celebrating the beauty of Earth. There are 12 original linocuts painted with watercolor. The covers are wooden boards and the whole book was lovingly made by hand.

I'd like to give this book, number 2/10 to one person on Earth Day! To be entered in the giveaway, please share in the comments here, or on my Facebook, or Instagram post and I will put everyone in a hat and draw the winner on Friday morning. I'd like to hear in your comment what you love especially about Earth or your favorite place on Earth. Or I'd love to see your artwork or photography about the beauty of Earth. I don't think you can post images in the comments here, so you could share those on Facebook or Instagram.

I look forward to seeing what you all share!!

  1. The love you have for the earth shines with your generosity! I see the earth as our ship, sailing through space and time. I hope we learn to sailing her gently and with care before it's too late!

  2. That's a beautiful thought, Julie! I try to stay positive and have faith in human ingenuity to solve the big mess we've gotten ourselves into but sometimes it's hard. We all have to try!

  3. I love the earth's surprises! There are so many beautiful wonders of nature to discover, and I wish we could see and experience them all in our lifetime. Lovely art as always in your book, Jill!

  4. Wow! What a giveaway, Jill! I'd have to say my favorite aspect of earth is its sunshine warmth. Sometimes when I get down, standing outside with my eyes closed while the sun brushes my cheeks fills me up just enough to keep on going. Spring flowers are probably my second favorite! And listening to the birds twittering or the wind playing with tall grasses . . .
