I've always enjoyed these contests because they detail exactly how versatile a single set of instructions can be, and how easily (or not, as the case sometimes is with creative endeavors) these steps can be utilized in one-of-a-kind design. And the difficulty or ease are always (I hope) well-rewarded with truly amazing work that each and every one of these entrants can be proud of. The above picture is my finished design...my vision behind the provided instruction, and the gallery of entries can be found here, for the perusal of entrants or casual observers alike, to see for yourself just how unique each entry is.
If you submitted an entry, but do not see it listed in the gallery, please email me at nikki.hanna@gmail.com with your entry as soon as possible, and it will be added immediately upon receipt. The gallery of entries will be available for viewing… well… indefinitely or, at the very least, until Pinterest falls into the dark abyss of the internet, at which point the images will (hopefully) be moved to another file sharing system. The gallery of entries will be available for VOTING, however, through April 15, 2017. Voting is open only to those who participated in the contest. To vote:
A note to non-participating viewers and commentators…. please reserve the term “VOTED” for participants only, to avoid confusion during the judging process, but do feel free to comment as a show of appreciation for the beautiful work submitted. These entries are worthy of the recognition they receive and then some. On April 16, votes will be tallied and the “Group Favorite” (most voted by participants) will win my completed version of this project and any ten tutorials of their choice. In the case of a tie, I will place the deciding vote. Also, a “Judged Favorite”, chosen by a panel of four jewelry artists and three “consumers” (who are not participating in the contest), will also receive any ten tutorials of their choice. Every contestant should receive the finished version of this tutorial as a thank you for his or her participation, within 24-48 hours. If you have not received the tutorial by that time, or have trouble accessing the file, please contact me at nikki.hanna@gmail.com Thank you all so much! Happy weaving! Nicole

I am so glad you gave it a shot! And, even if difficult, it seems like you enjoyed the process and the results. Sometimes we can't ask for more than that, you know? I love days like that... when that sense of accomplishment sticks to me like glue. Those are good days.

What an awesome group! I love looking at all the different ideas. Thank you so much for this opportunity. It shows that once someone has a great foundation then there are so many ways to explore and have different result in the end. My next endeavor is to experiment with the oxidation. :)

Oh my goodness! Choosing only ONE design as my favorite is confounding me. I'm so impressed with the number outstanding designs.

It took me a few days to come up with only one vote, so many talented artist. Nicole, thank you so much for this, I have watched your "finish It" contest and have always been so impressed with the entries and have always been too intimidated to try. This time I jumped in and found it to be so much fun!!! I also learned I needed to learn a bit about photography as my picture turned out so dark. So I watched your video, downloaded PhotoScape, and am now leaning that. Thank you for all you do.
