A general suggestion for the next contest: Voting by each person could be a specific number of points for creativity, a specific number of points for painting, and a a specific number of points for overall design. From 0 to 10 points in each category. The total points in each category would be tallied. Then, you could have a different winner in each category. Also, provision should be made for ties.
The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me.
I got mine today! It's the coolest thing ever! I'm so glad I came last now lol:lol Seriously, it's really cool! I will post photos when I manage to take one without breaking the camera.
And the bonus is: My sister is totally jealous!
Thank you so much! :thumbsup
PS. My mum says it's absolutely brilliant and wants to know what else you make.
So has everyone received their prizes?
Ok, what about the "official" results, and who won? I'd like to know what prize the first place chose, 2nd, & so on!
Right now nothing... I have been suffering from artists block. No real inspiration aside from The Kontest. I have been trying to work but find it hard to stay motivated. Plus we (my wife and I) are planning on moving soon so I have not wanted to make any inventory of previous projects because that is just more to travel. Frankly this gift was a bit of a test for myself to see what type of response I got. I expected positive but since both dalton and yourself gave me more than just a simple positive response I am really thinking that I need to dive back into these and give them another shot. I have also been thinking of trying a bow tie style. And some other Ideas have floated around. in the mean time I have posted some of my old projects on a web site for wood workers called Lumberjocks and my Screen name there is smiley. In fact here is a link for you if you want to check it out.
P.S. Thank your sister for me as well. I love my Knife kit from the TheSt.LouisKid
Just make sure you get set up again before Christmas. I have a feeling my mum wants to buy wooden ties for everyone she knows :lol
