contests // auf wiedersehen REPEAT(ed) :(


Today's been a heartbreaking day: I got eliminated from REPEAT(ed). Yes, totally unexpected (especially after all the positive feedback I got). I'm really sorry my journey has been cut short, but I'm truly grateful to Ellen and Madeleine for the great opportunity they gave me (I just wish I had had the time to show you more of what I can do). I also feel very proud to have been among the other 9 talented designers. I'm happy I've met you all and I hope we'll keep on building and nurturing our creative friendship. 

I would like to thank the judges of the first challenge, Michele, Kim and Rashida, and REPEAT(ed) creators Ellen and Madeleine for the wonderful feedback. My journey was short but very valuable and a true learning experience. It's been enriching. 

In spite of the grey day (literally), I got to finally finish Lilla Roger's amazing book (review will be coming soon), and I found the wonderful quote above that filled my evening with hope. Thank you Lilla's mom for such encouraging words.

    Sorry to hear about your disappointment yesterday MaJo but thinking positively - you took part and made the top 10 so that is a pretty big deal. The sadness will fade and new opportunities will present themselves where your creative talent will be able to shine. Good luck and keep the faith!

    Hi Majo, sorry about you being eliminated. But I still see things are going great for you, with the Tigerprint competition and Rachael's blog. So they are big achievements that you should be proud of.
    Accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative, as they say!
