And the winner is...

[This prize was awarded but never delivered. I was played the fool by a huckster. Please see my post Texts, lies and the final escape: when good contests go bad from 24 February 2010 for a thorough explanation. Do yourself a favor and read the comments that follow that post for an even more thorough explanation. Do not do business with anyone affiliated with Metallo Arts, past or present.]



After sorting through the contest entries for the last 18 hours or so I have come to a decision. I'll spare you the details of my agony, but know that I agonized over this.

The winner of a $3200 gift certificate from Metallo Arts and ten hours of my design time is a woman named Lisa and her Pysanka kitchen. Pysanka is the Ukrainian folk art of painting eggs and objects with meaningful and intricate geometric designs.

I am a sucker for ethnicity of any kind and Lisa pulled out the stops in her incredibly detailed vision of a kitchen based on a Pysanka egg. Here are some excerpts:




Congratulations Lisa!

    Wow... that looks amazing!
    Hope we get a kitchen update of the results.

    Paul now you can take the batmobile for a spin in the city to enjoy the nightlife!

    Have a great Weekend!

    A kitchen based on an egg is definitely unique!! I hope you'll show us more pictures of the design.

    Congratulations to Lisa :-)

    I ran her whole entry a couple of days after this. My post on 4/5 has the whole, gorgeous thing.
