Thanks so much for having this contest. It&#8217;s really motivated me&#8230; it&#8217;s done precisely what you wanted it to do!! *lol* You&#8217;ve motivated quite a few of us from the looks of the current entries. I&#8217;m so glad I found you and the rest of our clay community!!!\u00a0 One of your many grateful students.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Lisa-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Wow! What gorgeous work, everybody! This is so exciting, seeing what everyone has been making! I am going to be going over these photos several times, trying to figure out my favorites. It&#8217;s also fun to see who the beads belong to. I&#8217;m pretty new around here, but I feel like I&#8217;m starting to know some of you. Now I can also get to know some of your beads! How cool is that? And there are more photos to come&#8211;this is so, so much fun. Thanks, Cindy, for this cool contest. I know that you are busier than a&#8211;well, you&#8217;re probably working 40 hours a day now, right? C&#8217;mon, guys! Those of you who&#8217;ve submitted photos, don&#8217;t forget to post them on other sites. (Don&#8217;t forget the comments that point back here to one of the Vol. 14 lessons at this great site.) If you don&#8217;t know how to do it, get some help. Perhaps you could get a family member to post your pics for you on their facebook site, or something? As long as they put the appropriate comments, and you let Cindy know where it was posted, you&#8217;ll get credit. For those of you who own Vol. 14 &#8212; what&#8217;s stopping you? Don&#8217;t be shy, let&#8217;s see those purties you made. We love you here, and we&#8217;ll love what you made! If it&#8217;s not perfect, we&#8217;ll be kind. You&#8217;ll get constructive criticism ONLY if you want it&#8230; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table style=\"background-color: #f2ecd8; width: 512px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>**************************************************************************************************<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">** <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Links to all of the articles in this fun and educational contest series, are posted here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/feedback-needed-polymer-clay-bead-give-away-idea\/7550\/#comment-29360\">Polymer Clay Bead Giveaway<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>**************************************************************************************************<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;How long into February will you accept pictures for Contest #1?
