Winners and Winners

We have a winner!  It's BagLady in Michigan!  Thanks to all who entered.  It was a fun contest.

Cat A is the winner too!

I entered a contest through Etsy.  It is to honor the NASA space program. Our last shuttle will launch soon...weather has caused a reschedule.  I have always been enamored with space, astronauts, and "life out there."  So I made several rockets for this contest.  Using all recycled materials.  The final rocket was solid anodized titanium, with meteorite beads.  I made a V-2 style rocket  with a pearl body from the tin of MOP that Warren Osborne  sent to me from Texas.  Still waiting to hear if it will make the "cut" at Etsy. Here's the link for the contest:

Somewhere I got the idea to make a video to go with it. As a kid I watched Flash Gordon, and imagine that is what started this whole love of outer space.  So ala Flash we shot a 13 second video with sparkler rocket trails.  Bob, Katja, and I all participated in this monumental production. :-)  We had a blast making it.  I thank them both for their hard work and creativity.   Check it out...it's so bad, it's good.  :-)

PS.  I did not get chosen by Etsy.  I was saddened by their choices...most look like they are headed for Regretsy, or are admin favorites.
