The theme for challenge #3 is House Pride.

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin... it doesn't matter what your house! Show a little house love. Don't feel limited by the Sorting Hat either; maybe you could make a gift for the cute little Hufflepuff in your life. I figure the options are endless for you crafty ones! I can't wait to see what you come up with.


The Rules:

1. You have to begin it now, it can't be something you made before the challenge was issued.
2. It has to be related to the theme in some way, but not necessarily in the most obvious way.
3. You can use designs you found online or in books, or you can design something original.
4. You have two weeks from the date of the challenge issue to complete the craft.
5. Your craft can be any artisan craft medium; knit, crochet, wirework, beads, sculpture (bread dough, sculpey, fimo, porcelain clay, wood, stone, clay, metal art clay, glass, etc), food (cake deco, etc) or any other three dimensional object. Sorry, no graphics or pictures; we have other areas on SS that highlight that kind of art.
6. You must post a picture for us in this thread when you're done. Include info about it, what it's made of and such. If you want to share your pattern or include process pictures (how you make it), feel free!
7. This challenge is open and supportive of all levels of ability, from the very beginning beginner to the most advanced artist. All are welcome and praised!
8. Tell us what you're going to do with your final product; keep it, gift it or donate it.
9. First one to post their final project gets to pick the theme of the next challenge!!!

This challenge expires on May 3, 2008. (Though members are welcome to continue posting pics of any of their projects relating to the different houses in this thread after the challenge ends as well as the previous themes.
