Contest: Healing Hands

Deadline: October 21, 2004
Awards: November 26, 2004
Prompt: make a fantasy healer

Thanks to everyone who helped make this contest a success, particularly the participants but also everyone who voted. I just loved the entries!

I used my judging system, as usual, with a little help from outside sources. The special category for this contest - which did not count toward overall judging - was for props and/or accessories. To get an idea how hard the whole thing was to judge, check out the ties for second and third places!

Congratulations!

If possible, please link back to Ice Shadow Dolls when displaying your award.
(I hate it when I can't find contest sites from awards pages!)

	For first place, Suzy can make a request. (Just send me a message describing what you want.)
	I love the details, but I gave this doll Salli's Choice because of the blue. I love all the entries too much to decide, otherwise. You can't imagine how relieved I was when I realized that she really does wink. (The award doesn't.)
	Manon's doll is almost exactly the sort of thing I had in mind when I started this contest, though I didn't know it. The soft colors are lovely, and she's even carrying a bandage!
	A first glance, Helyn's doll isn't very exciting. Then you start to notice all the detail, and she's really something special.
	And, on the subject of detail... if I didn't make small, detailed dolls myself, I'd have no idea how she did it. Peer at this little lady for a bit, and be amazed.

Salli's Mailing List

I haved a mailing list for folks who would like to be notified when I begin a new contest. Your email will remain confidential, and I'll only send messages to announce contests (spamming you would be more trouble than I'm willing to go to!). No one else on the list will see your address. If you'd like to be on the list, please email me and say something like "Please add me to your contest notification list." Feel free to just reply to the email that told you awards were up.
