The Land of Odds has announced that it’s narrowed down the competition now to ten semi-finalists for its Ugly Necklace Contest:
Who will win? We need the public’s help to influence our panel of judges. Should the student’s to do list set an uglier standard than the art student’s supply list? Whose romantic break-up resulted in an uglier design? Would any of these ugly necklaces make you queasy, as the jewelry artist says? Are “Nurses” curses? Is “ugliness” the price of celebrity?
Our respected judges narrowed the 37 entries to the 10 best ones. Now it’s time for America and the World to decide which of these 10 semi-finalists’ Ugly Necklaces to vote for. The winner will truly be an exceptional jewelry designer. The losers….well….this isn’t a contest where you really can “lose”.
Come see these and the other semi-finalists’ pieces at www.landofodds.com, and vote your choice for the Ugliest Necklace, 2007.
Our own Cyndi Lavin, from Layers Upon Layers, is one of the ten semi-finalists, so make sure you go over and vote for her!
Hmmmm, looks like some of these might have been fun to produce. A laugh or 2 I’m sure.
It’s hard to do Ugly, and the semifinalists this year were especially creative, thoughtful and insightful about design issues, and how to violate them.
I extend the challenge to all beaders and jewelry makers to enter next year’s competition.
