OK!; Knotters and Knottesses,
Time for another Little contest... I say "little" but I'm hoping this one won't be that small simply on account of everyone going to the beach, river, mountain, city, countryside, Skyrim dungeon, Faerie glen, over the rainbow or wherever most of you are going to hang / spend your summer vacation be they from work or school / college etc.
Who can enter?
Members Of and Affiliated groups.
Admins of other Artisan groups, particularly fibre-based or general craft groups,
If you see this and want to allow your members to enter this contest... send an affiliation request!
There are 2 Categories:
(Categories will be combined into one by judges as far as determining prizes are concerned...)
An item made whilst on holiday with artists comments on what inspired it.
Any item of yours... new and made for this contest, ...or old that you are particularly proud of and/or holds a special memory for you.
There are 3 Rules:
The item must be knotted, original and made by you, the entrant.
(It can take any form: Alpha FB, pendant, a sculpture: think: Breach90 & enenauta 's animals etc...).
All items must have a relevant artists comments explanation of why it's particularly memorable: first ever fb made, present for... when I made ..sthg unusual happened... etc.
All items must be submitted to the "Summer Hols Contest" Gallery (It would be kinda nice if you mentioned the group and this contest in your artists comments also, but, unlike many groups, we feel you're gonna spread the word if you wish to, in your own way, so it's never, ever, going to be a rule...
There are 3 Sets of Prizes:
(If any member could supplement our prize fund with features, points(use Peter the knotters account profile page: peter-the-knotter.deviantart.c… ) or any other item that would make entering even more fun, Please let an admin know)

Please note:
1: In both cases, the comments that go with the piece are important! and will count towards the decision-making process when we decide upon places...
2: Since there is no starting date for submission, the only other thing you need to know Is the end date which is August 25th 12 midnight GMT. Please let me know if you've been working hard but are so busy that you need a few hours or a day or so more and we'll see.... but Nimue, Enenauta and I have lots to do so be real about this...
3: If there are less than say: 10 entries, we reserve the right to carry forward prizes to another contest, although I'm sure we'll think of something for those that entered. The response to this competition will give us an idea of how many members wish to really "actively" participate in our group (eg: contests and other stuff that I and the rest of the admin team would like to propose as group projects...), or wether, perhaps, we should just have fun sharing our work, techniques and networking... which is less work for us admins but the group is for all, and the absence of contests and perhaps other ideas in the future to encourage experimentation and push limits gently, would I feel be a sad loss...
Members are encouraged to send us comments on how they feel about the group as it is and make any suggestions to make it more accessible, fun, or useful etc.
OK everyone, enjoy your summer! I'm off to the beach... again!..... Enenauta's already left! and Nimuae is taking her well-earned break from admin stuff... (don't worry, between us we've got submissions and membership entry to the group covered until we're all back...)
Nimuae, Enenauta & Peter

it's about creating a special gift for a very special person:
...your best friend.

Little autumn feature...
Which season is more inspiring than autumn...this time of changes, colours and decline, mushrooms, moss and falling leaves, mists, rain and golden sunlight? A time of early sunsets, of preparation for winter, of creation and destruction...a time for artists.
This feature is dedicated to falling leaves, golden forests, nature's lullaby, morning mists, the beauty of life and to all these artists here, who are able to express what autumn means to me in such a brilliant way. There are many more out there, I know - so keep on browsing and exploring and most of all creating...
