2017 Christmas Ornament Challenge

2017 Christmas Ornament Challenge



As Christmas is coming up it might be a good idea to have a Christmas Ornament Challenge.

It was suggested that this challenge could be done in two sections, something for the Christmas tree or a table ornament(s). I will leave that up to the individual to decide on what they would like to make. If I have a fair amount of members wishing to participate in both categories then I will spilt the challenge in two.

Of course there has to be some guidelines to follow.

Start Date
Any time from now
End Date
Sunday 17th December at 18:00

Material
At least 50 percent made from wood.

How to Enter
Just reply in this thread that you wish to enter.

Submissions
All entries are to be sent via email to Christos(I will supply email address to those that enter) by Sunday 17th of December no later than 18:00. The time and date stamp for my region is Australian Eastern Time. Please try and send up to 6 photos on what you have created as a work in progress.

As the voting will be done by the members of the forum please do not post your entry on any other part of the forum or internet.

So who wishes to be challenged?

[Christos]

Certainly some members would be making something for Christmas?

Or is it more likely that everyone who will is going to leave this to the last minute? :o

[Gabriel]

Just saw this one - if I have time I'll give it a shot (don't expect too much though)

[woodPixel]

Im in.

[Benny_]

Might give it a shot. Don't expect too much from me either :unsure:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I'd like to play. :D

Sadly it's unlikely I'll find sufficient free time to take on any projects, however what I have in mind should only take a few short(ish) sessions to finish so 'tis still a possibility...

[Christos]

Thats excellent we have a start of a competition, we certainly need more people.

[joe greiner]

I'm in.

[ClaudeF]

I've got one I just finished carving - have yet to paint it... but, I can be done by December.

[Amber2589]

I’m interested!

[Benny_]

I'm in. Got something going now :)

[Christos]

That's cool we have a competition. It is less than a month before the entries have to be in.

I will PM everyone an email address that they can send the photos of their projects.

[chambezio]

Can I put my hand up also?

[Quinny01]

I'll have a shot too

[crowie]

I'm in too Christos....

[DaveVman]

I just noticed this thread.
It just happens that I'm finishing a couple of table items. I'd be happy to submit them just for interest sake. They won't win a competition though. They are a couple of very simple things a beginner like me can do easily without investing a lot of time or needing special tools.

Has anyone received a competition email address from Christos??

[woodPixel]

I remain Christo-less.

[DaveVman]

Nup nada zip
But I gave away the items I made and the recipients were happy. So I won already.

I have not received an email yet, no

[Christos]

Sorry guys. I have been without access to the internet for a little while.

I have created an email address and will be sending PM to the members that are taking part on this competition.

[Christos]

Please note that I have sent a new PM to the members that have entered the challenge as I had to create a new email address.

If you have not received a PM from me please let me know.

Thank You

[Christos]

Just a reminder the deadline of the 17th will be coming up soon. For those that have not sent their photos to the email address(the gmail one) please do it quickly.

No pressure, :U it is after all a fun activity. :hapy:
