Dabbled Summer Doldrums Contest

by Dot 27 June 2008 703 views No Comment


I think it’s time for another Dabbled contest. We can’t wait all the way to halloween, can we? Cuz you know there is going to be a killer Halloween contest.

Remember the Black Heart Anti-Valentine’s Day contest and the April Fool Contest!?

But until then…
The theme is Summer Doldrums. Beat the heat (or cold, if you’re in that part of the world)! Arts & Crafts that celebrate summer, particularly stuff for kids (or for kids at heart). Accepted are: artwork, crafts, & tutorials. I’m going to ask some of our past winners to be judges this time (unless they want to enter themselves!). There will be prizes (TBA, but they will include both fun kids stuff & original artwork… Plus the fame and fortune that comes with links back to your blog! If you’d like to donate a prize — let me know -dot-at-dabbled-org-). Spread the word, the more the merrier!

Post links to your entry here.
(edit) Deadline will be July 31!

    how about undersea themed things?? ack, i hope it’s not tacky to link to my etsy but i don’t have it up anywhere else!!
    i have tons and tons of undersea notebooks– but i think the most appropriate to keep cool-minded might be my narwhal. c:

    oh! but the undersea ones are http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12918444 just in case

    I’d like to enter this free form crochet project – it was inspired by barnacles and coral. I’m fascinated with the ocean, and summer is the perfect time for this obsession!

    The carnival midway, a lovely place to spend a summer’s day…

    The chills you get from that creepy clown? Those’ll cool you right down.

    Everything else looks awesome, too. :)
