enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Three events:

  1. Best use of pattern.
  2. Best use of text.
  3. Best use of paint.

Each event will have a separate post. If you complete a project, link it up in the comments section of the corresponding post.

All entries must be in by the real Olympic closing ceremonies: August 24 @ 8pm EST.

I will pick three winners in each category. Every winner will get a limited edition letterpress print and some sort of medal that I have yet to figure out how to make.

Right on.

Let the games begin!

    This is a great idea, and I’m totally up for it! But … if the entries should be in “by the real Olympic closing ceremonies”, they should be in by 8pm China Standard Time (UTC +8), right? If we’re going for “real”, I mean. That’s thirteen hours before the American EST, I should think.
