...and now would seem like a good time to say that I was thrilled and honoured to win the 2006 Articles contest
Thanks to all the people who voted for my entry, thanks to the organisers for putting it all together, thanks to the prize providers, thanks to Walsall Studio Ceramics for the fine base.
And, thanks to all the other contestants, the standard was very high all round.
I had a great time putting this article together. I had wanted to assemble a tolkien-inspired trayscape for ages, and I had a rather promising Tolkienesque tree just begging to be used. So when the articles competition was announced, I decided to see what I could do. I'm very pleased it has been a success.
Regards,
Chris.
