Angels winner…

admin — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:39:00 +0000

Hey, so we have a winner to the Angels competition. You’ve probably counted them all and know this anyway, but in reverse order (from 3) we have:

THIRD with 37 votes is Lupin with her star (Lupin’s blog post about the story of making the star is well worth a read)

SECOND with 39 votes we have Daisie Davies and her ice skates

And the WINNER with a staggering 92 votes is NiftyKnits with her wind chime….

So, NiftyKnits gets Folksy free for a year – looking forward to seeing lots of her work on the site.

What next? We’ll be printing out the images from the competition to sell as Christmas Cards on the site. The cards will be produced at cost (we’re looking at different options and are trying to use recycled card) for people to buy and will link back to the blog post with all of your details on (so you all get attribution). If you don’t want your image to be used please email us ASAP.

Thank you *so* much to everyone who voted and more importantly to all those who made something and went to so much effort to take part. Thank you. We’ll be posting another competition soon but in the meantime we’d love your feedback on what competitions you’d like to see us run… please put your thoughts in the comments.

This may also be a good opportunity to say thank you to the We Make people and we hope you have a great fair this Saturday at 79a Tottenham Court Road in the American Church in London.

So, the We Make Christmas Folksy Angels competition deadline is over and we now need your vote! You probably won’t remember but we put this comp up to get people making Christmas decorations using recycled materials. And we’ve had some fab entries. Please choose the one you like most by putting your vote in the comments. The winner will win a whole year’s worth of free listings and sales on Folksy :)

So, please vote for your favourite in the comments below (don’t look down, you’ll get vertigo, this has to be one of the longest blog posts since oh, Dan Hill’s last post). To make your choice you might want to look at each photo close up. There are lots of notes on each flickr page of them detailing how people used the recycled materials which you might want to consider when voting.

~~DEADLINE FOR VOTING~~: voting finishes at midnight on the 3rd Dec.. Doh! we should have said midnight GMT!

VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED Thank you to everyone who took part – we’ll post up the winner later today :)
