This is a difficult award since labeling is required. Errors in labeling animal classes will disqualify you. Cover as many whole number classes in each section as possible (i.e. don’t overload with mammals in the animal class, look for birds, spiders, fish, etc. The same in plant life – don’t have all flowers, but look for leaves, nuts, vegetables, fruit, etc. By not duplicating classes, you will receive more points. Secondary consideration is the black glass class – different construction i.e. moonglow, paperweight, lampwork,etc, and other black glass classes, lusters, paint, etc. These should not be labeled as to class number, but can be noted in words to help the judges. If it’s something you want the judges to notice, label it.
