This is more like a biscornu survivor/fear factor type: Your challenge is to finish a biscornu in 18 days. The last ones standing will move on to the next round of elimination in the hopes of winning $100,000. - Haha if only there was such a game show/reality show I would be signing up realy fast!

Keep up the work, You can finish and you will, just think positively :D.

I know this one came up really fast. If we need to extend a few days I think that is okay, just let me know. Sorry, I probably should have come with idea at the beginning of January or end of December. :shifty:

Veawen: Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make a biscornu if this helps http://own-two-hands.livejournal.com/4186.html" target="_blank.

The time that it takes to make one is up to you and how much you want to work on it or how much time you have to work on it. Some people can whip them out in a day, I have once and it took about 3-4 hours start to finish, and the one for this exchange took about in total 8-9 hours but it drawn out for about 2 weeks (give or take a day or two.)

They can be addictive.... I haven't it that point yet but I have a feeling it's soon because I am itching to make some for friends of mine.. oh boy! lol.
