I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @pifc to find bloggers to promote.
If you want to know some of the things I look for when curating for Pay-it-Forward, please check out this article on How to Get Curated.
Here are this week's selections - reputation 55 or under.
Selection #1 - @jamerussell (rep 42)
Love That Coffee! Or Happy Mother's Day!
Here is a lovely feel-good article to read, very much in the Pay-it-Forward spirit. All we really want is for others to treat each other in this loving manner! A small investment of time and caring often reaps wonderful rewards in the realm of friendships, let alone the small life that was likely saved in the quick thinking of this friend.
Although I've been talking with this blogger on Discord for awhile, he's only recently started blogging earnestly, and this is a great example of his work.
At the time of writing, this article had an estimated payout of 1.22 SBD. I think it deserves more.
Selection #2 - @medro-martin (rep 27)
The Background Layering Technique in Poster Colours - The Art of Painting Fast and Efficiently.
Wow another amazing art piece that @trincowski didn't beat me to!
In my book, Ocean of Empathy (currently featuring over at Whaleshares, one of Ardin's crafts that he sells monthly in Ilim City is sand painting.
So, when I saw this piece featured by @yehey, I was keenly interested to see how this artist goes about his work. As expected, it's a great article about the process of sand painting - totally worth a read!
At the time of writing, this article had an estimated payout of only 0.03 SBD. This artist definitely needs our support!
These are my selections for this week. Please visit them and give them some love - even if you don't have voting power to spare, a kind word can make all the difference!
