Regarding Mimi/Heather…I think what Mimi was saying is the contest banner was supposed to encompass various aspects of craft arts not limited to one type/style. I’d check this but the rules have either been removed or I just can’t find them.

Of course, the original banner is exempt from this…

I voted number 4 too. Thought it was the most interesting because it showed the most…but I like variety. :)

Number 4, because I feel like whip up gives little peeks into all kinds of different craft arenas.

i also voted for number one, because i think it best contained what i think the site to be about. that said, if the motivation to change the banner was to have one more reflective of the content of your site i don’t think any of the options are better than what you already have nor do they embody the spirit of your site. i think that change for the sake of change isn’t necessary if there isn’t improvement or progress. although a blog is a living, breathing entity i do feel there should be a consistent look and feel to a site such as this, a branding of sorts, and that is very hard to accomplish in this way. back to the drawing board?…

Oh, this was such a difficult decision – they all reflect very well the content of this site! I think whichever one gets up as the winner, it will be a good choice. I don’t envy the decisions made to get to the final eight!

I actually like the current banner. I thought the entries were good but I’m not sure I would change anything.

Banner # 4 conveys crafty ideas and also passes the dreamy artsy feeling I love about the process of creating something handmade!

I like the current banner also.

But I voted for number 4 because it conveys various crafts, to me.
