Online Judging Gallery for 3D Designer's Challenge

Welcome to the Online Gallery
For Memory Trends 3-D Designers Challenge Invitational 2006

Where Editors Judge "Most Original Design" and "Best Use of Product" Awards

All of the entries will be on display at the AMACO Memory Trends booth #363.

How were designers selected for this challenge?

Only past participants in both the AMACO ATC Designers Challenge Invitational at CHA-Las Vegas 2006 and AMACO Bitty Book Designers

Challenge Invitational at CHA-Summer 2006 were invited to participate in this particularly difficult challenge for Memory Trends 2006.

Ten designers completed this challenge.

What was the challenge and why so difficult?

To complete one finished WireFrame artwork to honor memory making in less than 30 days.

To include as many of the pre-selected AMACO products as possible (see list below).

To keep FIMO usage to only 25% of the total materials used in order to show papercrafters a new more dimensional way to make memories last with AMACO products.

Many or most of the materials were completely new to the designers.

Most of the designers specialize in Polymer Clay

What were the pre-selected AMACO products that could be combined with papercraft materials?

4 New FIMO Soft Metallic Colors

1 Sheet/Color Art Emboss

2 Types of WireMesh

4 Colors FunWire (including black)

1 Color Rub 'n Buff

1 Color Brush 'n Leaf

1 Circular or Square WireFrame

1 Eberhard Faber Easy Metal

2 Sheets Dawn Bibby Specialty Outline Stickers (One holiday/One non-holiday)

No two designers had exactly the same color/product selection.
