Thanks to everyone who played along in the April Design Challenge – your creature creations were all adorable! We had 47 entries – a terrific turnout!
The winner (selected at random) of our $100 prize package is Marilyn from Arizona. She posted several animal-themed projects that she sketched and illustrated. The one that was selected is a board book page featuring Punky the Cat which she created for a round-robin art project with her Yahoo Group. Congratulations!

And now for the details of our May Design Challenge!
Stronger than woven fabric,
More powerful than paper,
Able to burn from tall candles in a single pass.
Look, look over here!
Is it paper?
Is it fabric?
No, it’s LUTRADUR!
Yes, it’s Lutradur® – a unique art surface from our own planet that came to C&T with powers and abilities far beyond those of regular art supplies. Lutradur – it can change the course of mixed media, enhance scrapbook layouts with it’s bare surface, and when disguised as Cotton Fabric, mild-mannered material for great quilts and textile art, fights the never-ending battle for Texture, Color and the Artistic Way.
You are going to LOVE this stuff! Create any craft or piece of art using Lutradur – greeting cards, journals, quilts, wallhangings, ATC’s, paintings, scrapbook layouts, sculpture…the possibilities are endless. Lutradur sheet packs are available now – check with your favorite art or craft store, or you can order online from us. The sheet packs include both weights and you can even run it through your inkjet printer! You may be able to find it on the bolt in your local fabric store, too.
Get some inspiration from our “I Love Lutradur” Flickr group and also from Lesley Riley‘s book, Fabulous Fabric Art with Lutradur.
