All the entries were created using polymer clay to depict or interpret the Winter season or a Holiday in December in some form. The only rule this month is that all the entries must be at least 50% polymer clay.
As you can see, our member artists really outdid themselves! All the entries are festive reflections of the holiday season, and very diverse examples of what you can create with polymer clay.
Many of our entries are also available for sale in the member's etsy shop, so please check them out to see these and more one-of-a-kind pieces of polymer clay art. Many of our shops are also participating in our first Holiday Stocking Giveaway. It is a fantastic opportunity for you to fill your gift list and also win one of three gorgeous stockings filled with polymer clay goodies created by our member artists. See details at our website, http://www.pcagoe.com/.
Voting is open from Dec. 1 to midnight, Eastern US time on Dec. 7, 2009. Please vote for your favorite entry in the pull-down voting ballot box below. Depending on your internet connection, it may take a few moments to appear. Only one vote per person, please. The winning entries will be announced here and at www.pcagoe.com on December 8th.
You may sign up for our monthly e-newsletter when you vote. We would love to be able to tell you about our upcoming challenges and our special promotionals and projects.
