Deep Waters - Mixed Media Art

Today, we begin with an art post. I love the techniques @itravelarts has used for her mixed media painting. Although she doesn't go into a lot of detail on how she created this work, several steps are included to make this an inspirational post. I hope it inspires a few would-be artists in Steemit-land.

IT DOES NOT HURT TO FORGIVE!!!

Here is a lesson we all need repeated from time to time. Forgiveness! It's so important for everyone. Yes, it's important for those who have wronged us, but it's even more important for we who were wronged... Great lesson and well illustrated.

Visiting Ventspils, Latvia. Part II - The river mud, storks, and food.

Today's travel article takes us to Latvia. From storks to mud castles to general touring around Ventspils, I think I've just added another place to my list of destinations... Beautiful and personal article that should not be missed.

Atoll of corn cob a great dessert /Atol de elote un postre grandioso

A cooking article in the "waste not, want not" category. Can you believe that you can make dessert from corn cob?! That's what this blogger is doing and the results look awesome! I'm truly inspired by this. Maybe next time we have corn-on-the-cob...

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
