I won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! / Я выиграла!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just learned I was awarded first place in the wall hanging/picture category at this year's Royal Sydney Easter Show! This is the most prestigious show in Australia.
This is my first time at submitting my work live, not just a very good photo.

Я только, что узнала, что моя работа взяла первое место в категории картин на Королевском Сиднейском Пасхальном Фестивале! Это самый престижный фестиваль в Австралии.
Первый раз физически участвую в конкурсе, а не посылаю фотографии работы.

      Спасибо! :):):) Я сама жду мои ленты награды. Фестиваль в Сиднее, а я в Мельбурне, возможности туда поехать нет. По идее должны прислать ленты мне. Оказывается, работа ещё и попала в специальную витрину, в которой находятся работы, которые особенно отличаются - в самое пристижное место на выставке.

      You can begin by paying a $1,000 for this piece :)))) But seriously, thank you ever so heaps for your supporting words! Oh, this is a mix of beehive and just folding strips in all kinds of ways to try and create shading and imitate brush strokes and wood grain. All I remember is it was very exhausting to make the whole thing look grown up, not like a caricature. The best I was hoping for is for the piece to just be good enough to be displayed. Latest I hear it's now in the Showcase of Excellence in the whole art and craft pavilion. I live in Melbourne and don't have the opportunity to travel up to Sydney to see it. I do hope they send me my ribbons.

      Oh yeah, they will send the medallions and ribbons. They have quite a quilling section, which they've been doing for years, and they know how to look after all that stuff. Have a good one too, I know I will :):):)

      Класс-класс-класс!!! А почему две медали? Не, не подумай ничего плохого - чем больше, тем лучше;) И все же?

      И ждем фотки медалей!

    Zoe, congratulations! I am so happy for you, I always knew you were destined for greatness!!! Is this the big quilling piece you were working on last year? It doesn't even look quilled, more like it's made of wood.
    Hugs! <3

      Thank you heaps for your supportive words, Manuela! Yes, this is the big piece. I know, I tried really, really, really, really, really hard to make it look like wood, like in the real ancient icons - I am totally in love with Rublev's icons. I am now preparing for the Royal Melbourne Show.

      And you did a great job because it really, really, really, really, really looks like wood! :D I can't wait to see what you'll prepare for the Royal Melbourne Show! Best of luck, Zoe!

      Thank you soooo much for your words of support! I can confirm it's all quilling, completely - those are the strict rules of the competition :)
