Livejournal is hanging every time I try to post today's post (it's got no problem with the simple two-liners, that's why you can read this one).  I have a contest winner, some chatty stuff, and a few nice pictures to post.  I've decided to put it on my message board instead.  Here's the link:

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ok, actually, we have THREE winners.  Decision-making has never been my strong suit!  Come and see the fun designs that won the t-shirt logo contest:  http://www.cafepress.com/polymerclay

 

Thanks to all who entered – it was fun!  I’ll try to post all of the entries on my website at some point this weekend, since I know there was some interest in seeing what had been submitted.

 

Have a great weekend,

Lisa

Don’t forget our Logo Art Contest is almost over!  Saturday, October 15^th is the last day to get your artwork and/or phrases to me.  If you can think of an artistic way for us polymer clay addicts to poke fun at ourselves I want to put it on a t-shirt, a mug, and a tote bag :-)

Here are the complete details: http://www.polkadotcreations.com/contest.html

Go ahead – flood my mailbox!

Do you know what I think the polymer-clay-afflicted among us need? A t-shirt. Something funny that says "yes, I am totally taken in by this stuff and I don't know how to put it down!" I want a t-shirt like this. Or a coffee mug. Or a tote bag. Or maybe all three. The problem is, I can't come up with something spiffy enough to get my point across with style and humor.

So... I turn to you, my creative friends! You are hereby invited to take part in the Polka Dot Creations Polymer Clay Enthusiast's Logo Art Contest!

The prize is a $25 gift certificate to Polka Dot Creations, which is pretty cool, but WAY cooler is your logo on t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, mouse pads, and calendars in the homes of hundreds of your fellow polymer clay artists and crafters (I almost said "nut cases" but I didn't want to insult anybody).

Spend some time thinking about how YOU would advertise to the world, "yes, I have three pasta machines, and not one of them has ever been used for food" with wit and style. Then send your idea to me! Wouldn't it be neat to see half of the room wearing your brilliant logo at your next polymer clay guild meeting?
