Art in Space Contest

http://www.etsy.com/nasa/enter.php

From Etsy - your art can be flown into space - on the last Space Shuttle Mission.
How cool is that?  How sad is that?  Bye Space Shuttle Missions...

You just have to post a NASA space exploration inspired piece of handmade art to an Etsy store between October 12 and November 2.  If people want, to try, I'll create a store.  Let me know!

On a side note, our two new contributers (Dad and Sam) need to start contributing!!!! :)

What Etsy Posted (see the link above for the official post):

Three, two, one…blast off!

NASA and Etsy invite you to celebrate artistic exploration and commemorate the end of the NASA Space Shuttle Program with a creative challenge: Share an original handmade item or work of art inspired by the NASA Space Shuttle Program and space exploration at large.
You could win a trip to an upcoming launch as NASA’s VIP guest, Etsy shopping sprees, and cool merchandise from NASA and Etsy. Your artwork might even be flown on the Space Shuttle!

  1. Remember when Space Shuttle missions were a big deal? Two or three classes would cram into one classroom at Jaques and then crowd around a little TV to watch the Shuttle launch. Now it's not even news.
