A Cake Eaters Challenge FIRST

This past Friday, we had a FIRST in the history of Cake Eaters Challenges.

For those of you that don't know what a Cake Eaters Challenge is, I will start by explaining who the Cake Eaters are. Cake Eaters is our Friday morning group of artists/art enthusiasts. Every Friday (or, most Fridays) we meet to discuss what is going on at Two Twelve, around the community, have show and tell opportunities, and of course, eat cake (or some other equally delicious treat). This group is at the forefront of the arts community in Saline, and seems to gain a new member almost every week.

Cake Eaters Challenges are art challenges that are based on a particular theme. Sometimes artists are asked by the community to create particular types of work; for example, the Fairy Door, Mouse House, and upcoming Birdhouse Challenges have all been featured in Saline businesses during the month of February. Then there are the times that challenges are created due to a more-than-generous donation of a particular material; for example, the Key Challenge and upcoming Button Challenge. And for the rest of the challenges the theme is simply drawn out of a hat of suggestions.

This Friday we announced the People's Choice Winners of the Song Challenge. In Second Place we had a tie between Anne Sheill's piece based on the song, "Splish Splash," and Holly Kreag's piece, "Up On The Roof." And in First Place...

Here comes the FIRST...

Sandy Webster tied with...SANDY WEBSTER. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Sandy made two pieces for the Song Challenge and there was a tie between them for First Place. Sandy's first piece was a doll based off of the song "Sunshine On my Shoulder," that was also a beautiful reflection of her relationship with her daughter. Sandy also made a creature that perfectly emulated the silly song, "Purple People Eater."

Congrats to all of our winners!
