The votes are in, and we have a challenge theme for
September! The theme that had the most votes was:
Autumn!
If you
missed out on voting for the theme this time, don't worry. There'll be another
challenge to vote on in a few weeks! In the meantime, everyone is welcome to
participate in the challenge (though participation is not mandatory at all!) and
we'll have some fun. This is a great theme for looking ahead - Autumn is a great
time for sales, people love to collect Autumn-y things, and the theme is so
broad I'm sure people will have a great time coming up with ideas for it.
Here are the rules:
1. Entries should be made new for this
challenge - don't use old work as a challenge entry, please. Items can be large
or small, complex or simple, it's entirely up to you. You can interpret the
theme however you like.
2. You may make as many entries as you like that
fit the theme!
3. Complete all entries before the end of September and
post them in your Etsy store, then come here and post a link to your entries so
I can gather up images of all of them and post them all together somewhere, to
show off our creativity!
4. In the tags for your entries, include "NFEST
team" and "challenge". You should be using the "NFEST team" tag on ALL of your
felted items, but please only add the "challenge" tag on actual challenge items!
5. In the description of the item, include the following text somewhere
(or something like it, if you wish to paraphrase). Including this in your
description is important, as it encourages people who visit your shop to search
for other challenge entries, thus sending traffic to all members of the group!
This item is an entry in the NFEST September Needle Felting Challenge.
Please search "NFEST Team Challenge" to view more great entries by other
talented members of the Needle Felters Etsy Street Team!
And that's it!
I hope this gets your creative juices flowing. :)
