This giveaway is now closed
My Twitter friend @TofuFairy (now also at @FotoMacro) has contributed a couple wonderful Eco-Friendly Friday tips, so when she told me she was opening an Etsy shop, I was excited for her. When she offered a giveaway for Focus Organic readers, I was even more excited!
I am a passionate artist who loves nature and likes to show nature's beauty by getting into the nitty-gritty details of the natural world. I enjoy tromping through my yard, local parks, city streets, etc. looking for that perfect macro shot that will show nature in all of its perfect and jaw-dropping glory. I hope you enjoy my photography as much as I love taking the photos. My wish is that it will inspire you to not only make a purchase of one of my prints, but to see nature in a new and exciting way--a way you never have before.
FotoMacro is Angie's Etsy shop for her nature photos. She currently has a selection of 10 photos, available in 8x10 or 11x14, or custom sizes by request. My personal favorites are Carpenter Ant on Sweet Potato Vine and Tagetes patula... and Dewy Wild Mushroom 
Angie has offered one reader of Focus Organic an 8x10 print of their choice in glossy or luster finish. I'm informed by Angie that glossy finish lends to a more professional appearance, with brighter, more vibrant colors.

Who wouldn't enjoy this macro of a carpenter ant? Their work ethic, their ability to adapt to seasons and their prevention of harmful crop bugs like aephids is amazing. I love the strength of the ant as well as the strength of this shot. Great frame-up. Good color saturation and rich focus.

I like little Red and Black Bug because I have always loved ladybugs. I believe they bring luck. Also, the droplets of water are so vivid that one can almost actually feel them.

Trifolium pratense is pretty. I have been just starting to take pictures of my own like this but unfortunatley I was bit in my yard and had an allergic reaction to whatever it was so I guess I like to see someone elses pictures while I can't do it right now. I am knew at pictures cause i just got a camera.
