In English we say, "cross your fingers."
In German it's "druck die Daumen."
Press the Thumbs.
So please, contort your hands into whichever culturally appropriate gesture you feel will bring me enough luck to win some Copic Markers!
Here was my entry for the cover contest. I altered a copic pad by making a lino-print with acrylic paint and then sewing my photography to it. Then I started connecting everything together with copic ciaos and multi-liners explaining what art journaling is.
I'm sorry the links are broken from my earlier post. I tried to link again in a different way, and it still won't work. If you're here in Germany and can find the Transotype store in Wiesbaden, they are the ones hosting the contest! It looks like it's been extended to the end of May so there is still some time...
I will be hoping you win them because they are quite expensive here in the U.S., but they are wonderful to work with!

Swedish way is more similar to German's than English, ours: "Hold your thumbs", but I don't think you need it. It's a winner!
