Hurray!

The Great Corset Challenge is complete.

We received so many wonderful works using our Press On Maker’s Guide, corset portion of the pattern. We want to thank ALL of you for participating and would love to hear your feedback. The three Joy Studio Maker’s Guides are new this year so, we want to gather everyone’s thoughts on using this one. The entries included so many interpretations achieving great results. It has been a pleasure to see them all and an honor to have so many talented women join our challenge. Impossible task to choose only three.

However, here is the decision on our top three corsets:

Love Rubie Handmade Bags

Debie Kuennen-Baker

&

CorsetChallengeNorma

Norma Jean Rahn

I almost extended the deadline on the challenge this week. With the devastation in Texas and our own family’s loss on Monday, the Corset Challenge seamed silly next to these serious life events. Then I considered what creating offers me and I’m sure many of you and that is comfort. In the darkest times of my life, the ability that God gave me to create has helped me tremendously. I did not want to minimize the heart and effort that all of us put into these very skillful works. I appreciate each one of you sincerely, and would like to send all participants a gift if you will send you address or PO box to janet@greatjoystudio.com.

Again, I want to THANK YOU for participating in this year’s Handmaids® challenge.
