The winner of the contest and $100 in candy is faeflitt for her celtic knot design. My buddy Chris (fuzzwuzzle.com) volunteered to carve it (it took an hour and a half). I decided to offer this one up to the prince of Halloween himself, the Devil!
Over the next few days I'll post a montage or two showing the contest highlights! Thanks, everyone, for your entries.
