July 2008


Beetreebyme for her sculpture of Gilda, a black lab who works on the bomb squad.

Our theme was “personal hero,” and we had 15 entries depicting heroes special to us. Congratulations, beetreebyme! What a beautiful sculpture of a canine hero. (Pssst, you can get a personalized pet sculpture of your very own here at her shop!)

The voting was very close again this month - 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners all slid in right next to each other. A Soldier and His Bride by lynnslittlecreations came in second (hey - you can get her wedding toppers custom made, too, right here!)

In third and fourth places are divadea’s slayer necklace and SilverGate’s black and white woman necklace.

Thanks to all the PCAGOE members who participated, and thanks to everyone who voted!
