inspirational arts and crafts people

We are starting a new challenge blog with prizes which will be open to artists and all forms of craft

Our new challenge blog http://thisthursday.wordpress.com will be a place where any artist or crafter can enter our challenges, as we believe that you can often be greatly inspired by techniques and finished articles from other craft arenas.
I will also be looking for some guest designers from all crafting fields ideally they will have a blog or an etsy shop we can link too.
Go to our blog. It dos nt look much at the moment as its just a basic post which will be filled out over the coming weeks until launch day.
If you think that you 1 would want to be a guest designer and that you can be inspired to create by challenges and that you can complete a challenge in 2 weeks our lead time

Permalink Reply by Tracey Dean on May 17, 2008 at 10:48pm: There is nt any voting. We decided that we did nt want to pick a winner that way as how do you compare a bag to a painting or a necklace to a birthday card.
So anyone who enters has an equal chance as we will be drawing the winner out of a hat; ▶ Reply to This

We are now open to the public - for the (kindly sponsored) promotion of the MAY ART MARKET of interested members.

We are also accepting nominal donations for people wishing to promote their paid events, workshops etc, check out the faq pages (still working on them) if you wish to promote paid events in the future.

Good luck with the competition, please do let us know who the winner is.

regards
Di
