Purple Star Art
Although it's always been a thrill when someone could use one of my Squidoodles in their lenses, or asked for something special, some of the biggest thrills came when I started being awarded Purple Stars on some of those lenses. So in appreciation of the honors, I've put together a lensography of my Purple Star lenses.
I also wish to extend my gratitude to everyone that had a tentacle in awarding these Purple Stars. Thanks, if it weren't for Squidoo, I wouldn't be having this much fun!
A Purple Primer
Outside of hoping to have your works picked as Lens of the Day, the most sought after honor is the Purple Star. These days, knowledge of the award is learned about quickly by the young squids. Once you have a lens nominated and chosen, you get the opportunity to submit a suggestion of your own. Sort of like paying it forward to the next lucky recipient!
Once upon a time...
Purple Star lenses... these used to be the only ones I had...
When the Purple Star Awards began at Squidoo, the only ones that were eligible were Giant Squids. Unfortunately that left me out of the running along with many others since I didn't have enough lenses to qualify as a Giant . Somewhere along the line, the decision to award them to all Lensmasters became a reality, and before long I had the pleasure of receiving my first honor.
The following modules feature the Squid Art lenses that proudly display the Purple Star
The first Stars appear
Look, it's another Star!
The Purple Stars continue....
A Purple Star shines over the nations...
September 12th, and another Purple Star appears in the Squiddom. This time, it shines brightly over the entire group of Squid Nations. Stemming from a suggestion offered by a fellow Lensmaster, this lens has really been fun, and like all of them will always be a work in progress.
A Star shines in the theatre...
On November 1st 2011, I'm extremely pleased to say my latest collection of Squidoodles was awarded a Purple Star! I'm sure that all of the Squid Actors will be thrilled that they got a star for the stars! Thanks to one and all for the accolades.
The stars shine at holiday time!
On December 26th 2011, the story of The Night Before Squidmas, received a huge honor on the morning after Squidmas! The Squidley's are excited that their holiday tradition can be shared by many. This was a Happy Squidmas indeed!
The latest celestial sighting....
On February 26th, 2012, more honors were bestowed on Squidland for the merchandise at the local Squal-Mart. Another fun lense that was born out of a suggestion from another lensmaster. My thanks to everyone involved!
An honorable mention, but perhaps the most important one with a Star!

Continuing to shoot for the stars....
The Purple ones that is!
Has the Purple Star SquidFairy visited you?
Besides having such an honor bestowed upon one of your lenses, it also gives you the opportunity to make your own suggestion for the next star to be awarded. Don't give up hope yet if you haven't received one, there's always someone looking to spread a little Purple Love amongst the Lensmasters.
Let me know you took the Purple Tour!

- Very nice selection of purple star lenses. May I suggest that you put your squidoodles on zazzle products too. Some lensmasters may buy them, but Zazzle affiliate lensmasters would feature them on their lenses also.

What better time to ask?
After all, inquiring minds want to know...
I know that my squidoodles don't appeal to everyone, and many have wonderful lenses that do not lend themselves to artwork created with the Squidoo logo unless it's aimed toward lensmasters. However, I've been pleasantly surprised at the number of lenses that have one of my creations or one by someone else, so with that in mind...on to the poll!
