Round 1 is officially over.
I can't believe that six months have flown by so quickly. That's crazy! I'd like to thank all of you who have participated -- you've created some truly beautiful works. I'm so, so happy with how everything turned out. I never thought that there would be so many awesome submissions!
Due to the success of this round, there will most likely be a second round in the near future, either during the Winter or Spring hiatus (or both!), so keep your eyes peeled! If you have any suggestions for mini-challenges or improvements for future rounds, please let me know.
I'd like to also point everybody towards the
Blaine Big Bang, which just started posting yesterday at
beyond_dapper.
Again, thank you all so much for being a part of this! See you all during round 2!
