2007-06-29 [Zab]: Interesting theme, tho I think it could help if you used proper capitals and maybe a banner/dividers or so to make the page more fun to look at :P

2007-06-29 [moira hawthorne]: you are welcome to use these...

I made them myself

2007-07-01 [Titanium Tiger]: good idea zab!! want to help?

and moira as long as it doesnt breake that ruls you can use them!

2007-07-01 [moira hawthorne]: im offering them to you to use for your contest page.. as decoration.. they are mine to give to you

2007-07-01 [Zab]: I'm sorry, but I have too much to think of right now. :)

2007-07-02 [Titanium Tiger]: it ok zab!!

thank you so much MH thats really kewl!!

2007-07-02 [moira hawthorne]: you may wish to make the wiki title a bit more predominate.. like...

Bug ART Contest

2007-07-02 [Titanium Tiger]: it didnt work!

2007-07-02 [moira hawthorne]: want help?

2007-07-02 [Titanium Tiger]: please!

2007-07-03 [diesa]: YAY!Bugs!
I love bugs can I take part too plz plz plz

2007-07-03 [Zab]: Lookie! My new pet! :D I need to take a more artistic photo..hm.. you think he'd look good in a dress? x)

2007-07-03 [moira hawthorne]: what kind of spider is he?

2007-07-03 [Zab]: No idea..O_o He moved into my room all of a sudden..XD
Dad took him out now..I'm secretly afraid of spiders..Oo Now Bertil (the spider) will sneak in again when I sleep..:O

2007-07-03 [moira hawthorne]: hummmmm Im not fimilar was native wild spiders of Sweden
tho you could googgle it... since you saw him in person (as it were) and this photo isnt so good for Identification...

2007-07-03 [Zab]: I don't care too much, thanks anyway:P

2007-07-04 [GoneGone]: Bugs! I love bugs. :) In terms of "art form", ummm...it's not just a photo of a bug, right? You have to "create" it?

2007-07-06 [Titanium Tiger]: lol great!! anyone can enter!! aswome pet!! dress would look great!! but its a him?

2007-07-06 [Titanium Tiger]: yeah you have to create it!

2007-07-06 [Zab]: I have no idea, I named him Bertil..XD But he's gone now, I think spiders are creepy so we let him out..x)

2007-07-06 [GoneGone]: Hmmm...I mount bugs. :P Is it creative if I put effort into mounting bugs? They're real bugs, but sometimes it takes three months or more months to dry them out, mount them and glue them....personally, I think it's a craft.

2007-07-07 [diesa]: I have lots of bug pics that i d drawn and I did a new one for this contest but I dont know how to upload it here:( Can someone help me?

2007-07-07 [Zab]: how do I upload art? :P
You've already uploaded one picture to your house. Upload the drawings like that, and then use the information on img :P
You can also ask the guards for priv 99/uploading on wiki-privs. Then you can upload biger images than 500x1000pixels, if you do it to a wiki. (Which you need priv 99 to do). Unless you're a troublemaker you normally get that priv easily.

2007-07-08 [diesa]: Thank you!

2007-07-08 [Zab]: No problem :P

2007-07-08 [moira hawthorne]: that looks great [diesa] I hope you are gonna colour her!

2007-07-08 [moira hawthorne]: is there a limit to how many art pieces we can enter?

2007-07-08 [diesa]: Thank you!I m glad you like it I m workin on colouring it too:)

2007-07-09 [diesa]: when is the deadline?

2008-01-16 [Elloquay]: I saw the ad for this contest on the front page and had to enter my fluffy bumbles. (^__^) I love bumble bees!

2008-01-16 [moira hawthorne]: oooooo so cute!

2008-01-17 [Elloquay]: Thanks! :D

2008-01-17 [Elloquay]: I made it smaller, so it wsn't taking up so much space. I didn't know how to at first.

2008-01-25 [Titanium Tiger]: great entries guys!

2008-01-29 [Elloquay]: Awesome weaver spider, Cia! (^__^) I miss seeing them. 

2008-01-30 [Cia_mar]: thanks... there is more shots of her on one of my wiki's... *tries to remember which one*
lol
she sat in our back yard for a few days, and then one day was gone... i think a bird got her.. she was very visible!

2008-02-01 [Elloquay]: That's the problem with them. They don't hide themselves very well. :s

2008-02-04 [Titanium Tiger]: lol no not too good!!!!

2008-03-02 [Titanium Tiger]: is that and elftown rule now?I wasnt awaer of that!!!... oops I might be disqualifise for some I entered :(

2008-03-03 [Titanium Tiger]: oh well umm I dont think it applys here! but if it isnt braking the uploading rules Ill except it!! for now altho I dont realy mind repeat art work!

2008-03-03 [Lady Ice]: i did specifically make that entry for that contest... then I added it here as a second thought. I figured it would be okay...

2008-03-03 [Lady Ice]: sorry....

2008-03-03 [Titanium Tiger]: its okay [Lady Ice] it happens as for [moira hawthorne] not to be rude but I think I can take care of my own contest!

2008-03-09 [Feasting on Needles]: Do spiders REALLY count? Arachnids and insects aren't the same. BUT maybe they're both "bugs", eh?

2008-03-09 [Titanium Tiger]: bugs indeed

2008-03-21 [Feasting on Needles]: Hopefully more people enter...

2008-03-22 [Titanium Tiger]: I know Im getting really anxious!! I think Im going to make a participation badge for all those who have been patiantly whaiting!!!

2008-04-23 [Feasting on Needles]: Is there any way to get more advertisement?
This contest seems to be at a standstill!

2008-04-23 [moira hawthorne]: well we could all try pimping it again in out moods and diarys... maybe someone who didnt have time before will enter now...

2008-04-23 [Feasting on Needles]: Good plan. It's been in my mood for a while, I guess I just don't get enough clicks, yanno? :p

2008-04-24 [moira hawthorne]: I got a new one Im making now... stay up all night... and finished it

2008-04-25 [Feasting on Needles]: Ahaha! That's great! I don't think you were going for this, but it's cute!

2008-04-25 [moira hawthorne]: no... he's like an insane serial killer... but woman date guys on death row... so...

2008-04-30 [Titanium Tiger]: humm ok well how about this if we dont get another entry with in may then Ill close it and Ill judge!! hows that sound

2008-04-30 [Cia_mar]: fine here

2008-04-30 [moira hawthorne]: sounds fair... otherwise we could be waiting forever for 20 entries...

2008-05-03 [Titanium Tiger]: ok so it will be judged by the 20th of may!

2008-05-04 [Artsieladie]: Before I add this to the Mainstreet Calendar, is my understanding correct that this contest is 'open for entries' until the 20th of May? :P

2008-05-04 [moira hawthorne]: yes that is true... open for more entries till may 2oth at which point it is closed and goes to judging

2008-05-04 [Artsieladie]: Ok, thanks. I'll add it to the calendar now. :)

2008-05-09 [Ilana]: Hurray! This is the first contest I've entered in forever!

2008-05-09 [moira hawthorne]: [Ilana] they both loook awesome!

2008-05-09 [Ilana]: Thank you!

2008-05-09 [Artsieladie]: [Ilana], some of those apps on Facebook are pretty neat. I created a piece of art using the Advanced Wall.
http://i.idlestudios.com/u/08/05/01/d20666ffea635fc665cc4077506b08c9.png
The Cicadas are supposed to come out this year where I live. I'm looking forward to seeing them. I can see your Cicada only when I highlight the image. Otherwise, it's mostly just black. Nice pieces. Actually I love all of these entries on this page! I find bugs to be most interesting creatures. I know. I'm weird! lol

2008-05-11 [Ilana]: They are very neat, those apps. And that's a very nice picture you made.

Yeah, the contrast in that image isn't so good. It looks fine on my screen, but it's hard to see on others.

2008-05-11 [Artsieladie]: Well, it's kinda' neat to have to highlight it to see it, though. It's like mysterious or 'see what's lurking in the shadows' kinda' thing. ;) Thanks! :) I just wanted to see how much I could do with the app, I guess. ;P

2008-05-12 [Titanium Tiger]: keep up the good work guys!!& girls!!

2008-05-12 [moira hawthorne]: yes we have 15 entries so far... the numbering is squewed up with people using a and b

2008-05-15 [Feasting on Needles]: Just curious, but who is the actual mod of this contest?
