CHALLENGE TWO: The "Alice" Challenge
GUEST JUDGE: David Buttry
Our next guest judge designed the fabulous Alice companion doll for the IFDC 2010 Convention. David took Alice and while keeping her original style, moved her into the 21st Century. Your challenge has been inspired by David's creation and by the FIDM SuperLab challenge earlier this summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c-TCPoKmFs

Your challenge is to choose a character from children's literature(now I say children's because most of the heroes/heroines of children's literature have a distinct style that you can build on) and keeping their colours and style, design them a fresh new look, that is in keeping with their style.
CHALLENGE DUE: Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 9 pm PDT.
CHALLENGE ONE: Keep Putting that Best Foot Forward
GUEST JUDGE: Lori Lyon
Our first guest judge was the winner of the CDDC People's Choice last year. She was also the winner of this challenge in the first CDDC and I felt that she should be the one to judge it. This challenge is our little tribute to the King of Shoes Joe Tai, who is very ill at this time. We want to wish Joe all the best and send our good thoughts and wishes to let him know we are thinking of him. So your first challenge will be to find a special pair of footwear and design an outfit around them...but CDDC must keep everything fresh so while revisiting this challenge to honor Joe, I gave it something a little different for the returning contestants...the twist...this footwear and design creation must be Gothic!!!
CHALLENGE DUE: Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 9 pm PDT.
