Honey, take the nap and well deserved! I’m too cowardly to enter this competition,so you’re way ahead of me. Personally, I think your work is ahead of the curve, so you just have to chalk this one up to the whims of fate. Rest, relax, in the knowledge that your work is good—really, really good!

Libby,
Here’s a (little hug) to help with the disappointment. I really enjoying following your work and can see how you have evolved and master new techniques. I esp. like your new work.

It is interesting how far polymer clay has come in the last five years. And the progress must be astounding to people who have been around for twenty years. Even though I am not working in polymer clay a lot, every time I take time to check out new work and blogs, I am amazed and inspired. Polymer artists have to be the most experimental and artsy bunch of all artists.

I agree with you, in that if you hadn’t entered – that would have been even more disappointing. Your work is wonderful and it continues to evolve. I enjoy reading about your insights into your working process and your unique sensitivity to the process of problem solving (along with your aesthetic).

Although I haven’t soldered in years…it is somewhat akin to learning how to swim, in that once you “get” it, it becomes a life-long skill.

A big hug to you (and Bettina) – and hope you are feeling better. Lindly

I hope you’re feeling a bit better today – I also didn’t make it among the (ten!) finalists this year. It was my third time trying but this year I hoped for at least being among these ten, but no way…..I’m a bit dissappointed as well, but I’m getting used to it.
So lets lick our wounds together;)
I send you a big hug and I wish you a great weekend

Bettina
