Hello,
The judges all came back today with their choices in the four categories (Update: see also the peoples’ choice winner). So, without further ado the winners of the four categories are:
Best Use of Materials: Charity Shop Orphans by Fuzzywork
Loved the idea of just painting over somebody else’s work and making it your own. We also loved that they weren’t actually damaging the pieces but kind of preserving them. We loved these. Anthony and Alison
Most Innovative Piece: Zip Earrings by JollyGood.
This is so simple and effective. Wayne Hemingway
Appeal / Playfulness: The Sew It Yourself Giraffe by Loglike.
This is fantastic – simple idea, brilliantly done. I’d immediately want to buy this – I love that it has a little retro vibe but it totally contemporary and new-seeming at the same time (I mean new in terms of idea, obviously, not new in terms of materials). A really goo example of taking something old and making it absolutely modern. Also, I really love the look of it and the bold simplicity of the idea. I’d like to own one. India knight

I particularly love the use of the old post cards and stamps I LOVE vintage images and it makes this very unique
