Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian brethren!

Our Thursday prize previews have been so much fun that we thought we would spend the last month(!) leading up to Desert Bus offering you a sneak peek on both Mondays AND Thursdays. We have so much great stuff, we just can’t pick which ones we want to share with you – so we’re giving you a whole bunch!

Princess Peach Framed Cut Paper Art

Crafted & Donated by Schala-Kitty

Dedicated to one of video game’s beloved leading ladies, this piece is a unique and beautiful take on Princess Peach’s famed stained glass window. Over 100 precision cut vellum and pearl cardstock pieces recreate the look of stained glass from paper. The artwork is adhered directly to the frame’s multiple panes of glass to create the illusion of floating and can be displayed with either side of the box facing forward: the princess framed by delicate peach blossoms, or with the flowers at her back. Details such as the power-up symbols on the arches, the stylized ribbons, and the sparkling gems add to the artwork’s charm. In addition, the piece itself comes in a shipping box beautifully decorated with Princess Peach marker illustrations.
