24 Sept 07 This year an Alaskan entry took the Weta Award at the WOW World of Wearable Art awards with a spectacular wooden piece...

Congratulations to David Walker, from Alaska, who won the Weta Award at the WOW Wearable Art Awards, for his beautiful piece, titled 'Winner Prehistoric Princess'.

Judge Richard Taylor said David's entry was stunning and crossed over between art and film beautifully.
