This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 88 hosted by @pifc. The contest is run by @thedarkhorse and I am one of the judges along with @tryskele, @lynncoyle1 & @viking-ventures.
The rules of this challenge are very simple: Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 65 or under. The submitted posts must have less than $2 earnings at the moment.)
This week I'm back with a couple of artistic posts, as that #NewSteem philosophy seems to be fading away already, as I had predicted it would. As such, I want to present you a couple of authors who deserve a little more recognition: @nurseanne84 and @dinglehopper.
#1 - @nurseanne84 (60)
@nurseanne84 joined the Steem Network over a year ago, on August 14, 2018 and she comes from Philippines. She is a nurse and her posts are quite varied. She likes to blog about her personal life ambitions, goals and obstacles she found along the way... @nurseanne84 is very interested in economical issues and cryptocurrencies but also very artistic, as you'll see in the post she published earlier today.
In this featured post @nurseanne84 shows us a couple of buddies she made recently to accompany a little clay bear she had previously created. The new 2 bears are made out of air clay and they look incredibly cute.
I remember playing around with this type of clay when I was a kid but I wasn't artistic at all, all I could ever do was to copy the pamphlets that came with the clay. Whenever I attempted to do something original, my mind would block and I ended up with an abstract and ugly looking blob, nothing like these cute creatures built by @nurseanne84. 😜

#2 - @dinglehopper (60)
@dinglehopper joined the Steem Network over 2 years ago, on September 2, 2017. I have no idead where he comes from, as I didn't find any Introduction Post from him. He usually shares his own drawings, which are usually cute and charming.
In this featured post, published 2 days ago, @dinglehopper show us a happy reindeer, with the most lovely smile. Check it out:
@dinglehopper keeps posting regularly. Sometimes he gets lucky on his rewards, other times his posts just sit there without hardly any upvotes... indeed, Steem is a strange place. (Maybe you should start commenting on other people's posts a little more, @dinglehopper? That seems to be a good way to get noticed in this platform and gain a few followers.)

Final Thoughts
At the time I'm writing this post, one of the blogs is sitting at $0.24 in rewards and the other has $1.61. A few more upvotes wouldn't hurt them, so let's give them a bit of support. Shall we?
I think both @nurseanne84 and @dinglehopper have been regularly blogging, no matter how many times the Witnesses of the Steem Network change the rules. @nurseanne84 interacts a lot with other users, something that @dinglehopper might be failing at... since I only came across his posts by accident. I saw I got an upvote from him and decided to check out his profile, but if he had commented on one or two of my posts, instead of silently upvoting them, I'd probably have noticed his blog a lot earlier.
Please give @nurseanne84 and @dinglehopper some love and support. Any help is appreciated.
