Grand Prize
Osama
Crafted primarily from pine, shavings, dowels, and walnut scrap wood, this impressive creation showcases meticulous handcrafting. The shavings are dyed, shaped, and applied with extraordinary attention to detail, transforming the scrap wood into a stunning work of art.
Judges' Comments:
Osama's bookmark design captivates from afar, drawing the eye with its remarkable visual appeal. The clever use of dowels and wood shavings is particularly impressive, as the materials are used efficiently while creating a piece that feels like a cohesive work of art. Some of the Kakuri judges commented that they would love to use such a beautiful bookmark. This entry aligns perfectly with the theme of the campaign, demonstrating both creativity and technical skill at the highest level.
Excellence Award
Wael
A beautiful bookmark featuring intricate paper cutting and an original design that shimmers when held to the light. During the creation process, Wael initially tried a smaller design, but it caused the wood veneer to break, leading to adjustments in the design's size.
Judges' Comments:
Wael's work stands out for its fascinating creation process, with the skill of the maker shining through. The precision of the paper cutting and the design's play with light is exquisite, offering visual delight from every angle. The bookmark is also highly functional, with usability as an important consideration in the design. This work blends beauty and practicality, making it a truly remarkable piece.
Annsofi
A beautiful fusion of printmaking and intarsia techniques, this bookmark features a figure holding a plane and saw—possibly a self-portrait? The piece radiates the joy of craftsmanship, making it a lovely representation of creativity.
Judges' Comments:
Annsofi's work is exceptional for its originality and unique concept, truly standing out with a design that highlights individuality. The depiction of the plane's 'shrrrr' sound is especially impressive—you can practically hear it through the design. The overall feeling of enjoyment and excitement in crafting is palpable, and it's clear that the maker's passion shines through, leaving viewers with a sense of fun and inspiration.
