Ha, ha! Somewhere over the next couple of lifetimes... ;)

You made them look so classy!

Wow, this job sure was done with a lot of love!

Sir, you are a genius!! I LOVE the US map on your kitchen counter. You should travel around the country as an all-encompassing exhibition. I'll bet that would more than cover the cost of gas and any future changes/upgrades...You sure have my vote!

Very clever! I did something similar - back when sewing was one of my passions - where I turned a huge pair of linen pants into a dress.

Nice, even as pure decor!

Very cool - and resourceful! You got my vote, too :)

Wow! You should really patent this idea, after the changes you plan on making. And since you do seem to be interested in that, you might want to do so ASAP, especially if you plan on filing for a US patent. As per the law (updated during Obama's tenure), the patent is awarded to the first person who applied for it - not necessarily the first person to come up with the idea - so yes, an unscrupulous person could take it from you! And you got my vote.

Very useful! Voted for you, too :)

I think it is an excellent ible and good inspiration to be creative with whatever is on hand!You have my vote!

Wow, what a transformation!You deserve a vote from me :)

I am with the rest of you - off the 3D bandwagon...You got my vote too!

Voted for you :)

Your work is truly amazing! Just voted for you :)

Nice!

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Just voted for you, what a pity the concrete contest isn't going on side by side...

As a couple of folks have said, nice simple and straight-forward. I might actually try this...You got my vote!

Thank you too :)

But again, having a core of wood would make it really difficult to get the cross cuts along the collar. You'd need to chop up some of the color pencils, then affix them to the top surface of the wood and somehow keep them from falling over while the resin hardens!Oh, maybe you could drill holes into the wooden core and stick the color pencils in. What do you think, would the potential savings on resin be worth the time and energy spent making it this way? I hope so :)

Simply Beautiful! You got my vote!I do agree though, that having a core of wood would make it a lot cheaper...

Very nice and I love the fact that you don't need any fancy tools to make this!!Voted :)

Very nice! I love the fact that you MADE her something special for Christmas rather than bought her something - I'm sure she'll cherish it forever...

Love your sense of humor! You got my vote 2!!

These shelves look really great! You got my vote!

Nice job! Voted!!

I agree with you, these are truly beautiful and - even though you say so yourself LOL! You did a great job with the shelves, and your instructions are very nicely detailed! I just voted for you!

Beautifully executed! You have my vote!

Hi again, just a few suggestions:You can list drilI machine as power or electrical drilI (cordless if available), and shoe almirah as shoe cabinet, since many people don't know what an almirah is... Instead of Fevicol (which not everyone is familiar with), you may want to list it as multipurpose or craft adhesive, or wood glue. Some people only think of chewing gum when they see the word gum, so glue or adhesive might be better.Small screws would work better than nails, especially since people will already be using the drill (which in most cases, can also be used as a screwdriver by changing out the bit). There is a risk of damaging the nice hexagons with a hammer.Also, I believe you meant paper doilies, not dollies?:) You could even mention wallpaper, which in some countries comes with...see more »Hi again, just a few suggestions:You can list drilI machine as power or electrical drilI (cordless if available), and shoe almirah as shoe cabinet, since many people don't know what an almirah is...

Again, this was very well done!!

As a chemistry teacher for over a decade, I can really appreciate this! What a fantastic idea!! One does not necessarily have to fill every cube. For those involving radioactive elements, one could use a symbol depicting its use - like a little crab (for cancer), or a symbol of energy. Those that are fleeting and 'to our knowledge' do not exist in nature, can be represented by a future use or a likeness of the scientist that discovered them. One could also have a sculpted form of the element's name - or number, for those that have not yet been discovered... There can be no limits to one's creativity!

And oh, I voted for you too!

Very nice, I just voted! This will go well with a rustic theme too. We just bought the industrial work table from Costco, for our sloooowly evolving outdoor kitchen... It has 'X's on both short sides and I've been looking for cabinetry to match. This will be perfect! Thank you!!

I love natural materials and creativity like this - and the part about not wasting resources is close to my heart... You got my vote on both counts!

Simple, yet nicely done! Could work in a closet, too - for belts, ties and/or scarves...You have my vote!

Very nice! Just voted for you :)

Absolutely amazing! You just got my vote :)

Lovely - simple and elegant!I just voted for you :)

You got my vote!

That is one table to die for - you have my vote!

Nice work! You got my vote.

Wish I could make this, it is beautiful! Perhaps someday - right now, I'm already 'doing2much'! You got my vote, though...

Very elegant! I like all the alternatives you provided for the center. Just voted for you!

Wow, that's a lot of work - and patience - for someone so young! You have my vote.

Good work, and nice way to recycle! You just got my vote. :)

Pretty cool! I am so going to try this... We have a DIY laundry to landscape system, and sometimes I wish the water were just a little warmer! I just voted for you!

They say 'If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing well'... From the looks of it, you follow that motto - keep up the good work! This is excellent work, and the instructions are quality as well. I am voting for you, hope you win!!

Nice, simple and 'do'able solution to a common problem - especially in California... I commend you for your spirit of gardening on the rooftop, especially with fruit trees like apple, which do not like too much sun! I voted for you :)
