[Dailydrool] Calling all Junior Pupcassos

[Cathy Rudert]

CALLING ALL JUNIOR PUPCASSOS!

Help us show the world that *Senior Droolers Are Cooler*

Have a child who loves drawing-- especially drawing dogs? Want to  
help the senior hounds of HOP (House of Puddles) and have your  
budding artist's masterpiece displayed in an online charity art exhibit?

We are seeking as many kids as possible under the age of 17 to create  
pup-portraits of the House of Puddles bassets and donate their  
creations to our charity exhibit & raffle. Kids are free to choose  
the HOPper they wish to draw as well as the medium they prefer to  
work in (crayon, marker, paint, colored pencils. it's entirely up to  
them). Each original will be displayed in the online Barkwork  
gallery, and raffle tickets will be sold for chances to win these one- 
of-a-kind treasures (with all proceeds going directly to House of  
Puddles to support the senior bassets there). Only one entry per  
child please.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. Just visit the HOP Houndie Pages at http://houseofpuddles.org/ 
HoundiePages.htm and have your kids select the HOPper they'd like to  
draw. Remember, if you click on the name, there are more  
inspirational photos to spark the imagination. They are also welcome  
to choose one of the sweet houndies who have gone to the Bridge;  
their photos and stories are included on the Rainbow Pages: http:// 
houseofpuddles.org/rainbow.htm

2. Please e-mail us at barkwork at verizon.net with the name of your  
child, their age and which HOP pup they have chosen to draw (so we  
can keep track and know how many wonderful artworks to expect).

3. If possible, please use standard size 8.5 x 11 paper (card stock  
or construction paper is ideal) since we will be scanning these  
treasures and each masterpiece needs to fit atop a standard scanner.

4. When finished, please make sure the masterwork has dried  
completely (if necessary) before mailing, and package it carefully.  
Place a clean sheet of paper on either side and sandwich the artwork  
between cardboard so it is not damaged or creased in transit.

5. Be sure to include a note with each artwork indicating the  
artist's name, age and address and the name of the HOP dog they've  
immortalized (please avoid writing on the back of the artwork  
itself). Only one entry per child please.

6. Send to: Barkwork, 228 North St NE, Leesburg VA 20176--to arrive  
no later than July 25.

7. Important Note: All submissions become the property of HOP and  
will be raffled to benefit the rescue. Some designs may be used for  
fun notecards or other promotional purposes, and by donating the  
artwork you are granting permission for these uses.

8. Join us for an online gallery opening on Friday, August 1, and see  
each child's unique creation on display! All kids will receive a  
special Artist's Certificate thanking them for their contribution.

Ticket information and online exhibit links will follow on the drool  
and at bassethoundtown.com!

Please print this information out so you can have it handy at the  
craft table!

SUMMER - FUN, FUN, FUN!
