oh.. and in case we have not mentioned it. Thank you again to all the organizers and supporters of the BASH. This is my first, and it still amazes me that such a diverse group of people from literally all over the world can be so helpful and generous. Thank you all!

Congratulations John, Bruce, and Dale. Those are outstanding blanks.

I was Blank #9. Thank you for the votes. I didn't have any illusions of winning this contest, but I figured I would take a risk and try with something I had never done. I learned a lot about what NOT to do with polymer clay. I haven't quite learned what to do, either. :biggrin:

To anybody that is hesitant to enter a contest, consider this for next year's BASH. Just TRY it. Test your boundary. There's no penalty for giving it a shot, and a little wounded pride means you have less of it to goeth before a fall. Plus, you might have FUN.

Thanks, Ed for chairing the contest. The banter, encouragement, and enthusiasm makes for a great contest.

 

[wyone]

Brian.. that was exactly my thoughts as well. I had blank #2. One of my first real start to finish with casting blanks. I will be back next year! lol
