I was so naive, I thought I was pulling together a dish of round peas. It's the kinda squarish dish that make even the round peas a bit square. Sorry about this one too.

Okay, it's time to decide the winner for this challenge.

Thank you all for your participations.
I honestly didn't expect this much excitement, have now found the wonderful and rich gallery here and am very glad many of you enjoyed this challenge!

There were 53 oldies and 54 new creations so far. (Big numbers!)
Of course and hope, more will keep coming in to this gallery after today.

The purpose of this challenge was to practice drawing circles.
And it was so nice to see some of you (and me!) have really improved drawing clean circles here while some already have had the skill before that.
It makes me even happier that we've accomplished its purpose!

Now I need to pick one pic... ahhh, it's so hard!
I first picked 8 out of 54, and there are two pics in my hand now.

This is cleverly created using ovals if you see the PB.

I love the colors, texture and the feel of it is superb!

And the winner is:

Congratulations five! The baton is yours.
Looking forward to seeing your next challenge!

(How could I forget to mention about this????)

And thank you all who shared their knowledge and experiences, posted some very useful/inspiring sites and encouragements. Those are the ones made this gallery even more interesting and exciting!!!

Egad, bad timing, I am afraid... I'm swamped and won't be able to do this for a couple weeks. I truly appreciate and am honored to be selected for the baton, but suggest perhaps it would be better to choose another.

hanging

Okay, as we see, five seems like won't be able to handle this at this moment.
And incidentally, I picked two finalists in the process of decision making of the winner. (I'm glad I did that!)

Therefore, I'd like to pass the baton to Vals for the next challenge.
Her work is nothing less than the first winner and it was truly hard to decide which.

Congratulations Vals!
Hope, you can come up with an idea for the next challenge!

Vals

Oh hanging, thanks some much for passing on the baton for the next challenge but, unfortunately, I will be travelling soon and therefore will not be able to monitor a challenge. I hope this does not pose a big problem for you, but I know you can select another great TD'er.

Again, many thanks for your selection - best of luck!

Thank you folks for waiting for me to pick the 3rd winner!

Congratulations, Chrissyjoy!
I'd love to see your idea for the next challenge!

hi hanging, thanks for inviting me to lead the next challenge. I was pretty certain my entry wouldn't have come in the top 3 so I am very suprised. In a way I was releaved I'd not get chosen as leading a challenge sounds pretty daunting. However, having read how difficult it has been to pass on the challenge I will accept and just enjoy it... I hope I can be excused commenting on every picture as I am a little busy this week too. If you can be there for a bit of background support if you think I need it I'd be grateful! Chrissy

Than you for accepting the baton in this unusual situation.
This doesn't happen too often though.

Please do not feel daunting because you are 3rd up for this.
There is no question about your amazing artistry.
You can see the reasons to pick the winner in the 'when you can't accept the baton...' in the community forum.

And of course, if you need any help, please express so.
It's the another joy of TD, we help and encourage each other!
Have fun!
