Beautiful Artistry and a Fun Contest

Audrey
Lorna
A little over a month ago I started a contest to make a shawl pin. I had several people express interest, and I mailed out small clamps  from Home Depot. A few folks could not finish the pin due to health issues or vacation plans, but I did get back 7 entries, and they are fantastic!!!   I asked artist friends of mine to do the judging, a very hard job. The judging criteria were creativity and wearability. The winner is Maggi. I have the artist's permission to show their work. You will see how difficult the decision was.

 Maggi has won a jackety-shawl from me, but they have all won my admiration, thanks, and many, many hugs. Love, Cameron

    Congratulations, Maggi!! Your pin is beautiful. They are ALL very pretty and it's obvious that a lot of love and work went into each one.
    Thank you, Cameron, for having this contest. It was a lot of fun!
    Once Maggi receives the jackety-shawl that she won, it would be nice to see a photo of her modeling it. (:

    Thanks to all of you the contest was a lot of fun. Your art is very beautiful. Now when you make a shawl, you have a way of pinning it, creating any kind of decoration that you want. Such a creative group of ladies you are. Thank you for giving so much to me. Love, Cameron

    Fantastic work from all! What a great contest, better than most as the winner won by her work instead of a random drawing of name. Congratulations to all who entered! Special congrats to Maggi!

    They are lovely. I'm sorry I didn't get around to doing mine due to work and holiday plans. But hopefully I'll be able to show you soon what I did plan to do.
