VOTE: event 3

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 #3!

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

thanks so much to our eco-forward judge for this event, the sustainably-saavy Garth Johnson, of extreme craft & the fabulous new eco-friendly book: 1000 ideas for creative reuse!

what our judge had to say about the nominations: "Wow! If 1000 More Ideas for Creative Reuse ever happens, I'll have a great foundation. It was incredibly hard to winnow the list of submissions down to a dozen. This list reflects my own interests. I picked projects that had significant elements of creative reuse--often ones that dictate the function of the object (or comment on it, (like the brilliant moneybag wallets). There are also obsessively crafted objects, like the harlequin chair and cherry blossom wedding dress. I couldn't resist offering up Humboldt the Owl for your consideration, since he's representing for Humboldt County, where I live. I also love objects with a very specific purpose. Not everybody is going to need a wood-carrying tote made out of carpet samples, but everybody should be wowed by its ingenuity. I also love an object that comes with a story. Almost everything that I nominated is dripping with personality and history. I hope that these objects inspire you as much as they did me."
