national badger GIVEAWAY.



We've been in search for the perfect art that will allow our nurseries to transition into bedrooms for an older Cole, Avery or Isobel {or your child's name}. Finding simplicity with color, character and style was our objective, and frankly a challenge if we were working within our designated decorating the nursery budget. And then I found National Badger and quickly called my husband with exciting news along the lines of "It's amazing! And they even have an AARDVARK!"

Now, for the news that will encourage a similar reaction in you: Tangled and True is announcing our first life in the nest giveaway. Enter to win {see rules below} and this dreamy idea of perfect art may materialize into this--

{dinosaur and car are for scale reference only}

3 custom National Badger prints, including: 10" giraffe {green}, 7" hippo {blue}, and 5" elephant {orange}, an incredibly generous package valuing in at almost $70.00.

National Badger's story? Christine says, "National Badger was born following the birth of my son in 2004. I couldn’t find any affordable artwork for his room that matched the aesthetic of our home and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on artwork that he would outgrow in a few years. Trained as an artist and a designer, I decided to create my own."

National Badger is the solution for modern children's art. Truly. With a selection of over thirty animals and an extensive tropical Starburst-ish color palate, we are tempted to promise you that you'll go crazy in the best way.

Maybe you're a traditionalist and this



is the perfect fit.

Or you can't get enough of different and you want your son or daughter to learn words like:




aardvark, leopardess and bonobo.

If you don't see what you want or are overwhelmed by choices..no worries. Christine's an artist {and a nice one}. Email National Badger at info@nationalbadger.com and she is quick to offer suggestions of prints and colors that go well together or do her best to sketch up an absent favorite of yours {at no extra cost!}. A template for wall placement of the art is complimentary upon request.

The product does it's own convincing, right?! Join the force of charming, modern, and happy by entering to win {see rules below}. Or go to nationalbadger.com for a 15% discount on your entire purchase when ordered by the end of June {with mention that Tangle and True referred you}. Wow! Good luck.

Thank you, National Badger!

[Update: in order to apply the 15% Tangled and True discount, send orders to info@nationalbadger.com and Christine will take care of the discount and direct you from there.]

Thank you, National Badger!

allie said...

so I am not technically a mommy (my 26 preschoolers can count though, right?), but seeing as how this post is on art, I feel inclined to comment. I love art and the fact that someone out there has used their talents to create such a unique product is inspiring. I like these alot, especially the non-traditional ones, my preschoolers wouldl ove these hanging in their science area. PS...like the green post, my favorite color!

Emily said...

Hey! I would love to win yr very first give-away! Good job getting the word out about your blog!

Brenley said...

I find these prints absolutely charming. Splendidly done; I can't help but see these little animals as if they had personalities.

It appear as though the bear has just tasted the sweetest berry of summer. The ladybug is dancing across a blade of grass to escape the capture by a 6-year old. And if the elephant is not responding in glee to the 4-year-old zoo spectator who can't get enough of the grey mammal, she must be giddy at the prospect of an elephant treat.

Lovely. Thanks Lindsey for introducing me to the forum!

Have been a big fan for a couple years now! I had National Badger do two portraits--one of each of my dogs. We and all who see them love them! Now, we're on to our first baby and would love some animals for her to look at!
