grace said: April 29th, 2008 - 8:32 am	phoebe it’s “bead” by hableconstruction.com the colorway is called “lemon” i believe. they’re trade only so you’ll need to hire a decorator to purchase the fabric for you. i have this print in a green color on my couch and i can tell you it’s worth the extra step :) grace

grace said: April 29th, 2008 - 10:28 am	absolutely- as long as they’re all marked with your name that’s fine. grace

grace said: April 29th, 2008 - 9:48 pm	stevie it should be sent via email. we’ll verify the letters of finalists before they’re announced. grace

allie said: April 30th, 2008 - 12:46 pm	hi grace, i’m filling out the application and i downloaded it twice to make sure, but the questions are listed 1-7 but on both downloads there isn’t a question 5. i just wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing something, or there wasn’t a hiccup. thanks!

grace said: April 30th, 2008 - 3:53 pm	allie that’s a typo- there is no #5, i’m fixing it now… grace

Alli said: April 30th, 2008 - 5:09 pm	hi grace- just noticed that the scholarship page now reads “friday, may 3rd”. i’m sure you meant the 2nd?

grace said: April 30th, 2008 - 5:32 pm	fixed that, thanks ;) g

jan said: May 1st, 2008 - 7:27 pm	are these due by friday or by the end of friday? thanks!!

I am bit concerned since technology seems to fail me every time I really need it :-) Could you please let me know if the application went through properly? Thanks in advance for taking time to consider it. Sincerely, Juan Tauber.

grace said: May 5th, 2008 - 8:03 am	juan you’re a-ok. i received over 600 application emails on friday alone so i haven’t had time to respond to each personally. grace

dailydesignspot said: May 6th, 2008 - 9:17 pm	hey grace.. thanks for the reply.. it was ages ago but just found it now.. lets hope for next year.. i know that just b/c you are in your masters does not mean you are not a young student.. andrea is 22 and in her 2nd year of her masters in fibers at SCAD! Good luck everyone!!
