P.S. I Love You Challenge
This is our third forum wide challenge and the theme was centered around Valentines Day. Our artists were supposed to represent love in hon0r of this holiday, but there is a twist! The contestants are supposed to implement something that is used in writing, such as things that you might use to write a love note. Here was our suggestion list of things that could possibly be implemented into their design-Envelopes, canceled postage stamps, quill pens, old ink wells, wax seals (or sticker imitations) or stampers, stationary, ribbon, glitter/confetti, an address book, typewriters, bottles/vials, or a lipstick kiss. We feel that some of our entries hit the mark and some didn’t hit the mark as far as meeting the contest requirements, but we are leaving that up to you. So use you minds and hearts as you pick your favorite piece, please keep in mind the criteria the artists were supposed to follow and pick your favorite. The winning artist will receive two weeks of free advertising on the Handmade Artists’ Forum, HAF Blog, Chainmaille By MBOI, and Makin’ The Best Of it! The winning artist will also receive $25.00 cold hard cash to spend on anything they want.
All who vote and leave a comment saying that you voted, will be automatically entered to win several prices as well as a $25.00 cash to spend on anything you want from the Handmade Artists’ Shop!

These are truly unique and charming pieces, but the wood pendant by jewelry by Janelle stole my heart. I voted!
We have such a talented group!
It was very difficult to choose as each one is unique, but I managed to find one that stood out for me.
All very inspired entries! I really LOVE the love birds pendant – I love how they creatively incorporated the requirements – the scroll is a nice touch! 🙂 Great job everyone!
Wow, what tough choices! Such great pieces. I voted for my favorite though!

Beautiful works everyone!
Great entries! Just voted. Good luck to everyone!
I voted. They are all cute. Sorry I didn’t get the time to enter. Maybe next time. Good luck everyone.
Hello everyone. I voted, too many great choices. One clarification on a prize to be awarded. The 4″ x 5″ note card with the “bears in love” is a photo print card from an original gouche illustration painting, not a handmade card. Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone,

hard to choose but I have a weakness for lovebirds
I really liked the lovebirds-pendant!!! It’s so romantic…

I think these are all very very cool…darling and creative. But I don’t see that any of them would be used to write a love letter. Am I missing something?
my favorite is the Bouquet of Roses
I just voted
