HEy all ..Roy had a neat idea for a contest...Thought it would be cool to combine talents of strong cabbers with strong wrappers.... I thought so too....
So here is what we'll do.... Post here wheather you want to be a cabber or a wrapper...I will then draw names from each pool and match them up...I will pm the two members of each team and let them know who they have ....They can then contact each other with what they want to do...
As I figure out more details I will post here ....
Lets have some fun....John
Update #1 ..I was thinking that the cabbers should cab from the same material(another detail to work out)...Also all wraps should be in the same type of wire to keep it fair. I will need the cabbers to p.m me a pic of the cab and the wrappers to p.m. a pic of the finished wrap , I will post the pics in the poll thread. Update #2..No one will know the teams cab/wrap until after the poll closes...I will post the teams so everyone can know who is with who....
I also like the idea of winners split all....
Update #3 ..Time frame The cabber will have 10 Days to cab and mail the cab to the wrapper.The wrapper has 7 days to wrap and p.m. me a finished picture of the cab ...As soon as I have all the pics I will start the contest poll..Poll will run 7 days... At the end the winners will be announced and I will let everyone know who did what....
Update #4 Stone/Wire Stone...Any type of jasper Wire...your choice....Remember...Winners Take All

This is a really cool idea with the potential for some really neat collaborative creations. I'd love to be one of the wrappers.
Thanks John! Thanks Roy!

Question? what are we going to do with the wraps after we are done? Hey Maybe we can donate them to a cause or auction them off and give the money to a charity? Maybe do something on Ebay? Just thinking out lould

I'll be a cabber or wrapper, which ever evens out the teams. Hmmmm, all cabbers cab from the same material? Doesn't leave much room for creativity. Also, if we all use the same wire and material, we'll all end up with the same pendant.

Put me in as a cabber . Yeah, definetly should choose your own material and wire . Not sure what a strong cabber or wrapper is ;D i am not a prolific cabber but think i can make a cab , i think this will be fun. i dont see this as being that difficult, just choose the names friday , probably will take a couple weeks or so . there will be a deadline for getting the cab made and sent to the wrapper -nine days, so the cabber has two weekends ?, then send off monday, give the wrapper till next weekend, then vote.

I agree with Randy! We need some variety to spice it up a bit!

If we all agree not to take the competition aspect too seriously, it might be fun not to have limits on materials used.
If it was a serious competition, then we should standardize the materials used.
Just my input.
Come on... we need more cabbers and wrappers!!
