Thanks! Yours is really good too! (I haven't done clay in a while, but it's fun to work with, and you did a good job)

Dragonscorch, thats actually not my handiwork, but @
LadyKnightKatsa's!
Mine is wood... and is currently sitting in a bag of tea leaves and water in an attempt to stain it. This won't go well because you need steel wool (or rusty nails, I hear?) + vinegar + tea/coffee to truly create a DIY wood stain, and I am using tea and water as if it'll do anything. Ah, the joys of having no car to go get what I actually need!
But yeah, if anyone lurking here is doing a wood wand, google DIY wood stain if you care. It's not "chemical free" as many DIYers like to say (I mean vinegar/steel are chemical compounds that have a chemical reaction, lol), but it is cheap as hell to make yourself, apparently. *shrug* It's art science! Assuming it works. I've never really tried it but I see good results according to what I've read. It'll probably smell awful though, idk if the results are worth the smell... eh, I'll try it one day. :P
I should probably stop all my rambling on this thread. xD My bad, @
EbonyBadger!

Dragonscorch - Very cool! I love the texture you have created in the handle.
To keep things fair, I'm going to have to unfortunately say no to entering previously made wands, since there is a deadline/time frame involved.
I would, however, love to see it if you decide you would like to share a picture anyways. :)

Xarina - No worries! One of the points of this thread to encourage sharing of ideas and sparking conversations! Feel free to "ramble" all you want---I am quite susceptible to bouts as well. ;^_^

Alright! I might make a similar one later though, if I can find things to use for it. (I'm getting more ideas that may or may not work lol)

Dragonscorch - I love it. There's a lot of fine detail the shiny black really makes it pop. :)

Are Most Realistic, Most Resourceful, and Most Thoughtful awards, or do I pick one to enter? The descriptions make them sound like awards but they're listed with the separate 2D category. I'm not sure people would know which one was the best fit for their project. (Or maybe I'm just not good at finding strengths and weaknesses?)
I haven't started on a wand yet, but I'm brainstorming ideas and thinking about entering.
Thank you!

Bellzan - Technically they were to be categories, but I am actually working on some restructuring right now. I agree that they make more sense as awards. Please bear with me as this is my first contest on this large of a scale. ;^^

Thanks for the clarification! It makes more sense to me now. Now off to make my wand!
