A sampling of comments left by voters:

As always, some very creative works!

·         The first one is amazing!!!

·         The acorn was my 4th choice.

·         Beautiful work.

·         Wow! the entries this time were all so very excellent that I changed my mind half a dozen times before choosing!!! Great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·         It is not easy for me to choose the winner every month. Most of the works looks to me professional, interesting and beautiful. I vote for the works that look to me the best. Thank you.

·         That acorn is so cool!!! What a wonderful idea and it is so beautifully made.

·         All I can say is WOW! I am in awe every time I see these creations and how they are made.

·         Wonderful creations. I love autumn colors and now I have new inspiration for the challenge in my guild. :-D

·         Every entry was so lovely and so hard to choose just 3. Always so difficult to vote on only a few. Good luck everyone!

·         I love that the acorn lights up !!

·         WOW! Every month there are so many pretty things entered. I love them all it is hard to pick just three.

·         The creativity of these artists are incredible. Thank you everyone.

·         Good work, all! I can see that a lot of thought and work went into your entries. I liked the originality of No.13, the light constructed over a jar, while I loved the simplicity and elegance of the birches in No.1. To tell the truth, for a few seconds of delight, I thought No.1 was actually a small handbag of some sort and was wondering how polymer had been used for that effect. I'd really love to have a bag like that! The little white owl in No.10 is elegant in its simplicity. I think that raku is a great choice for making pine cones and I only wish that I could have seen them in a better close-up to observe its effect.

·         The creativity shown by PCAGOE members is stunning, humbling and wonderful.

·         Amazing entries! Love them all, but was hard to choose.

·         Hoot do you love!! The owls of course! Love, love this challenge! Awesome work people! My favorite one yet!

·         Love, love, LOVE the unusual textures in the earrings. The owl bowl made me smile.

·         All the entries are wonderful, but I just love the acorn light - beautifully crafted and useful.

·         I love this contest! I saw it in the promotions section of the Creative Breakroom forum. All of the items in this month’s contest are gorgeous!

·         My peeps outdid themselves - so hard to choose! Going for the whimsy and creativity of the lighted acorn.

·         Great variety this month!

·         All, as usual, are awesome, great craftsmanship, beautiful eye candy... I LOVE THEM ALL....

·         This was so tough! October is my birth month and I adore all things Autumn, woods and nature related. Some awesome original ideas here!!

·         I enjoyed looking at all the wonderful artists works this month. The colors and textures definitely reflected this month's theme.
