VOTE: event 1

thanks so very much for all of your fantastic nominations in the 2010 Handmade Olympics. what a wonderful celebration of handmade!

without further ado, i'm thrilled to present our judges' shortlist for event #1!

..................

thanks so much to our fabulous judge for this event, the brilliant Erin Loechner, of the inspiring design for mankind.com!

what our judge had to say about the nominations: "The crux of my submission guidelines were all based on items I'd love to use in my own life. Whether it be fancy jewelry or everyday canvas bags, great design is not only beautiful, but functional.

Of course, I included a few fun picks to award, simply because the concept alone was creative, crafty and/or humorous. A great reminder not to take life so seriously. ;)

Lastly, I'm so amazed at these submissions. We have truly built an inspired community, and I'm thrilled at how blessed we are as artists, crafters and handmade shakers. Long live handmade!
