With 10,265 votes we are ready for the 4 days left of the competition.
We are number 14 from 1,000 competitors in the craft category from all
the USA. The competition was open to everybody from the beginning, which
means that small artist like me will be competing with big business.
One, for example had 35K Likes in her FB page, before the competition
started. Its kind of crazy even dreaming to compete with that, and
however here we are #14. She is currently #3. Another good example is
#7, she is a jeweler and her work had been selected to be display on one
of the characters of Vampire Diaries Show, also her jewelry has been
part of the gifts for celebrities in the Golden Globes Awards, Emmy
Awards, etc. Number 9 is a well renowned basketry artist, she teaches as
numerous workshops all over the US. Of of her baskets is right now
property of the Smithsonian Museum. Numbers 10 to 15 are small artist
like me. You can find here, soap makers, bags makers,
painters,illustrators and a potter and glass artist: Me. I know it has
been hard and tedious voting everyday,and the the website has been
itself sometimes impossible to work with. But we have come so far, I
really think that among all the top 20 I am the smallest, the one nobody
will have bet on it...and here we are #14, so please, please vote again
for 4 more days, share it with your friends, we can finish it in 10
place, Martha Steward and her team will have proof of what can truly and
loyal friendship can achieve, making the impossible possible. I am
just a girl from Lima with no connections no budget to give presents in
exchange of votes (except for my mom's alfajores), no studio, no
wheel... I may be just a huge dreamer who look for opportunities and
hope for the best every time. Thank you for being there with me, supporting me. I don't have many things, but I do have friends, exceptionally good and amazing friends!!! Let's keep voting. To be in the top 10 is possible. Si se puede, si se
puede!!! Gracias!!
