Cyber Monday.
Happy cyber monday! Happy shopping everyone! Remember that I have some raffles going on (see previous post). Happy holidays!
Silhouette Noir Raffle(s)!
Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know about our cool raffle. Whenever you place an order from Silhouette Noir, you automatically get entered into our raffle. You get the chance to win awesome prizes and such. Check it out:
-How it Works:
Basically, whenever you place an order, you get a card with your package. Each card has a different number on it, and every other month, I will announce a winning number. Whoever has the card with that number wins the prize.
If your ticket wins, Silhouette Noir will contact you with whatever information you have provided and is deemed fit to use. This includes, but is not limited to; email, Etsy account, facebook account, Twitter account, phone, or snail mail. This contact is just for your benefit and you are not required to respond. All you need to do is wait for your package to arrive.
All guidelines and rules can be changed by Silhouette Noir at any time for any reason.
-Specific to this first raffle drawing:
I want the winner of this first raffle to get their prize by Christmas, but I also want to give people plenty of time to place their orders. So, I have decided that people have from now until 12:01 p.m. on December 20th, 2013 to place eligible orders. However, please note that orders placed after this time will still be eligible for the next raffle. After the time period ends on the 20th, I will pick one raffle ticket at random. I will contact the winner and send their package the next business day. Now, if one of my lovely foreign customers wins, then your winning package may not arrive in time for Christmas, but I don’t want to push the date any earlier as I want to give people a fair amount of time to join in the raffle. I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.
-The OTHER Raffle:
That’s right, I love you all so very much, that (for just this month) I am having a second raffle! And this one doesn’t even require purchase! All you have to do is;
1. Go onto my facebook or twitter page, and like or follow me, respectively.
2. For facebook, send me a message with the subject line “Social Network Raffle”, as well as your e-mail address.
3. For twitter, send me a tweet with your e-mail address in it.
4. You can do both 2 & 3 to enter the drawing twice!
5. At 12:01 p.m. on December 20th, I will choose one winner at random. I will then e-mail them about their winning and ask for some basic shipping info. They will then have exactly one week to respond to that e-mail. If they don’t respond then they relinquish their winnings.
-Prizes: -Prizes:
Now for the fun part. The swag.
-Basic Raffle Prize:
Winner will receive one A Thousand Canvases piece (Just a Portion, in blue. Picture below shows it in green). Prize will be shipped using Express Shipping.
(Est. value ~$60)
-Social Network Raffle Prize:
Winner will receive one black T-Shirt Pillow (Picture below shows different colors). Piece will be shipped using Express Shipping. (Est. value ~$55)
Well, guys, I hope you enjoy these raffles! Good luck, and happy holidays!

Dragons; An Unnecassary Tale.
My Shop!
I have been working on the upcoming DragonsBlood line, and at some point, I wrote the following. I decided it was too long to put in the product descriptions, but I figured I'd post it here, as some of you may find it entertaining.
For those of you that don't find it entertaining, here's a sneak peek at one of the new garments!
Dragons; An unnecessary tale:
Many eons ago, dragons roamed the earth. (EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: Seriously?) Don’t start with me. I’ve seen proof. (ED: Was it “proof”? Are you sure it wasn’t “nothing”?) Yes, I’m sure! Their bones are in museums and everything! (E.D.: Those are dinosaurs. You’re thinking of dinosaurs.) Oh. Yeah, that makes more sense.
Many eons ago, dragons didn’t roam the earth, but if they were real they would have! (E.D.: Let’s just let her have this one.) They would have lived in caves and hoarded diamonds and gold. Their flamey-breath-flames would have burned entire villages to ground, leaving nothing but decrepit, singed remains of former glory. Their shadowy silhouettes could be seen gliding across mountaintops as they flew above, soaring with unparalleled grace and elegance and poise. Their stunning wings would shimmer in the light, and their eyes would strike an unmatched fear in those plucky enough to look them in the eye (E.D.: I like to think she’s going somewhere here…). They would have sparred each other in kung-fu to see who the strongest among them was, to see who among them was to be their ruler! (E.D.: I don’t think dragons could perform any kind of martial arts…)
And, time after time, one dragon reigned supreme. (E.D.: When did this stop being hypothetical?) Her name is Oblirrian (E.D.: What?) and she has more strength and intellect than all other dragons combined! (E.D.: How is this present-tense now?) A drop of her blood is in each of these garments (E.D.: That sounds so unsanitary. You guys know that’s not true, right?) and with her blood guarding you, you are safe from all misfortune, and gory and riches shall find their way to you! (E.D.: Not even close. Not even close.)
…Please buy some clothes…
~Love, Silhouette.

Verbatim Art pieces.
The Verbatim Art pieces are similar to my Fourth Corner pieces in that they are highly customizable. You can choose what words to put on it, as well as the colors. (please not, however, that all of them will have some gold on it) So, as I said with the other ones, BE SPECIFIC.
Also, please note that each piece is of a finite space, and I can fit so much on them. If you tell me you want a certain song on there, that doesn’t mean that the entire song will make it on there. If you look at the example ones I put up on etsy, you can see that there are only a few lines from each song on it. So if there are certain lines you want on it, feel free to ask. I won’t be mad at you for getting too specific.
For example, here are some good and bad orders:
Bad: Muzac. Carrie. Good stuff, no crap. #Yolo.
Good: I want it to be Carrie Underwood lyrics. Especially Blown Away and Two Black Cadillac’s. Not Good Girl. Also, put on the chorus to Taylor Swift’s Teardrops On My Guitar. Color- Green, Yellow.
Bad: RAYVEN, CASKAMONTILADO.
Good: Edgar Allen Poe- The Raven, The Cask of Amontillado. Endings in particular. Black and White. Thanks.
Bad: :-) BD thrrouuu quotezzz nd wnnehouse. Thnx. XD
Good: Henry David Thoreau Quotes and lyrics from Amy Winehouse. thnx. :-) Cranberry-Black. :)
Bad: Surprise me!
(Seriously, guys, don’t make me surprise you. I can’t read minds. I may accidentally send you, like your least favorite song lyrics or something. I don’t like surprising people.)
Remember, if you have any questions or requests, you can always send me a convo on etsy or e-mail me!
