Very DNA-helix-looking and the shapes also suggest the threads on a screw or drill auger bit to me as well.  I also like your choices in color/pattern arrangement; nice job!

Why do you feel it isn't good enough?  It looks great to me.  The cloudy sky, rocky foreground, and the shimmering sea all work visually for me (the light reflections on the waves are my favorite aspect).

Such a beautiful, colorful creation!  Judging by its' expression, kitty was probably caught red-pawed doing something it shouldn't . . .  or mayhap a bee found a furry target for its stinger! 

I haven't seen a basket with those double lift-up lids in ages--I kind of forgot they even existed!    Your lining looks great and definitely makes the whole affair more cozy and inviting in appearance.

That's incredibly thoughtful of you to put so much work into both your gifts and this vessel to hold them--not many people would put in that kind of effort/time and I'm certain that the new parents will be delighted and touched by your generosity!  A stork should bring you a medal! 

I've dabbled in making papier mache jewelry a few times, but I've never done the quilled variety of paper art.

Your stuff is very impressive, especially the jeweled egg--I would have never guessed that was done with paper!  The purple flowers and black crosses necklaces/earrings sets also look great.

Great job on redoing your closet space!  Shelves on either side of the door and a rod in the middle makes perfect sense to me.

I don't know why, but I really like that little door that accesses the plumbing for the bathroom on the other side--I've never seen something like that in a closet before.  That thing would have captivated me as a child (too much Alice in Wonderland probably).

Congratulations on your win; you did an amazing job on your entry!

Super cute and I like that you only get a peek of the doggy until you open up the cards.

That'd be a shame if any of them got rejected for mentioning the child's health, but, I suppose I can understand the group's thought process in that regard too.

I'd never heard of Pixie Hill Studios before, but I went to her blog and checked out the how-to video.

I think your paper dress came out fine and I love the base as well.  I really liked the fairy wings Nichola did on her example; given the items you chose to decorate your creation, I think a pair of butterfly wings would have looked great on yours.

Awhile back, I bought a Monster High doll washi tape dressmaking kit & form, for making paper outfits similar to this, and, of course, I've done nothing with it!

I recall that, around Valentine's Day, you had posted some ATCs of your former boyfriends' names on tombstones (which I didn't comment on, because, as a guy, that's a rather awkward kind of thing for me to respond to) and that you had pretty much given up on romantic encounters for that holiday.  So, I'm glad to read here that you've found a new love interest and I hope that everything between the two of you works out and that you find happiness together!  Maybe you could make him a matching pair of kitty pants?

I also agree that it’s great that this challenge received so many entries; much more than usual!
