I disagreed quite heartily with the placeing in this category...I can do that, as I won first place. But I think the second place winner should have taken the category. Sorry, judges. I know you do a good job. Joyce Adkins' coiling has really gotten super, and I don't think I hold a candle to it, especially with this piece! Judge for yourself. I am embarrassed to even put up a detail shot of my work on this piece!
First Place, Pamela Zimmerman
Second place, Joyce Adkins
Third Place, David Blackwell...associated with dyedpineneedles.com. You, too, can have these bright colors on your gourds, as they sell these brilliant needles...but David is also a fabulous coiler, and I am humbled by his very simple and yet dramatic treatment.
