Author gypsykate says: Congratulations to the winners: 1st Place and COC - ofelia roca (The Earth Renews Me) 2nd Place - bbb (The Root Chakra) 3rd Place - Dark Moon Lilly (Root Chakra Mandala) Usually I choose the COC among the non-winning scraps but I could not in this case because Ofelia's scrap is significantly outstanding in projecting a life-affirming down-to-earth experience that impacts on one's health and energy - a practical rather than an abstract or symbolic interpretation of the first chakra. Almost everyone else's gorgeous and very creative page is a good second - thank you all for participating in this challenge. I hope you join the next ones. Jun 2, 2008
