THE END OF THE SHOWCASES


Linda and I have had to admit defeat on the showcase front - we love the idea but are victims of our own success because each one is taking so long! Sadly we've had to decide that each week the person who sets the challenge (we take it in turns) will choose her favourites). So sorry but we just don't have time to do it the other way ...

Anyhow, I've chosen Jaqi and Jean's efforts out of the doors you all made. Jean's is the bright one on the left above, and see more pictures here. I love the block base she's used and the vivid colours - gorgeous work Jean! The pink one above is Jaqi's, see more here. I love how it opens up to show the Moulin Rouge and the variety of materials she's used. Great entry Jaqi!!

Hi you two,

I don't have a problem with your decision. We always post our URLs when we enter our challange. They can always be viewed that way :) I'm just happy you issue such fun challenges without any rules!!
