It was an honour to be presented the awards by Dawn Sandoe (AMACO Vice President/Creative Director) and Julie Stephani (Today's Creative Home Arts managing editor) .
As in past years, all the entries will be going to worthy organisations. The butterfly entries will become part of a permanent installation at the Holocaust Museum in Houston and their goal is to have 1.5 million butterflies on display - one for each of the children whose lives were taken during the atrocities of the Holocaust. The jewellery pieces are all going to a women's shelter in California.
Word has just come through that AMACO will be hosting this challenge again so I hope that you will consider entering knowing that your artwork will be going to a good cause. If you'd like to learn more about how to use Friendly Plastic, there is a Friendly Plastic Yahoo group and also a Friendly Plastic blog: The Art of Friendly Plastic. The blog is brand new but is already chock full of information: Check it out!
