We have a winner!

Oh what fun it has been! The voting for the Favorite November Undiscovered Studios has just closed, and we have a winner! With so many wonderful studios awaiting to be discovered, it was very hard to choose a favorite. In fact, I think I favorited pretty much the whole list myself!!

62 fabulous studios were added / submitted to this ArtFire thread during the month of November. 24 studios had either had their first sale, or had been randomly featured on the daily Undiscovered Studio Thread And Blog by the end of the month. So what to do for the 38 studios that had not been featured yet? Let's have a poll for the top favorite Undiscovered Studios! A poll where everybody WINS! :)

With 57 votes at the end of the poll, at least 57 kind people have visited these studios and appreciated their beauty. 4 studios have even had their first sale during the poll! :) My heart fills with happiness to see such great participation in a purely RAK poll, with no giveaways nor prizes. Aren't ArtFire artisans the greatest?

I personally have had so much fun, I think this should be a monthly event. What do you think? :)

Of course, the next one will be better! We have all learned a lot during this poll. The next one will start the time-lapse at 0, to really see how cool it looks when people vote. It really looks like an MP3 player with all the bars going up and down as people vote for their favorites. It should probably be longer too, like a week. And maybe have a shorter list :) 38 WAS probably a bit too much for most people to go through.

So if you have ideas for the next polls, let me know! You can comment here, or you can send me an email too! All feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Hahahahaha. Are you wondering yet WHEN I am going to tell you who the winner was? I think everybody won, but I'll tell you in a bit who had the most votes :)

I would also want to post a video of the poll time-lapse from 17 votes to 57 votes. It will take a while to create and align all the frames, but check back in a few days for a cool "See how your votes count" animation. For now, here is the one created half-way through the poll:

Pretty cool, huh?

Yes, it does look like an MP3 player :)

So since I will probably remove the poll in a few days, here are the winners, to be saved here for posterity:
