Is there somewhere a list (with pics, of course) of Lisa's pick UG's ? Maybe sortet by years?

If I am not mistaken I remember something like this at the old CRK homepage. Not sure. Couldn't find any information at the new homepage.
 
No where that I know of. With the website update, the list is now gone. Don't even know if Lisa still does the monthly sebenzas or not.
 
Right. I do share your impressions that "Lisa's pick" are not continued any longer. Maybe it is an idea, trying to collect this information here? If fellow members would post a pic of their Lisa's pic plus information about year/month, we could put a list together. Also we could ask CRK whether they would provide some assistance. What do you think?

believe it is 2 /month from whenever until recently. I believe she does a lg and small of the same pattern, At least that is what I remember.
Now Lisa's UG work that would be vast
 
These 2 are off the beaten path of what Lisa normally chose as her pics. She seems to prefer more minimalist designs, often with no color. It's purely coincidence that my only 2 Lisa's picks ended up being my carry knives.

I remember on the old web site (i think) there was a section where she would lay the large and small on a calendar of whatever month/yr it was. Was pretty cool to look thru them.
 
Yes. Something like this is what I remember too.

LW, how do you recognize that those 2 are Lisa's pick? Is it marked at the box or at the birthcard?
 
These are pics of box and birthcard of my "Lisa's Pick", which has just arrived. Pics of the knife will follow later.

Meanwhile I had some email conversation with Anne about "Lisa's Picks". This is what she answered:

"We introduced "Lisa's Picks" in December 2001 in order to highlight the beautiful and creative work that Lisa does. It was a large and a small - in the early days, the graphics were different and then she got into a pattern of making them the same (or almost the same) graphic. We stopped featuring her picks in December 2014. There was no specific reason for it other than it felt the concept had come to the end of its season. Lisa continues to do phenomenal work with her unique graphics."

Anne has some reasonable doubts about whether it will be possible to put together a complete gallery of all Lisa's Pick Sebenza. Also she mentions that making proper pictures of all Lisa's Pic and storing that data into a usable/searchable format was not their highest priority those days. So might be that for some of Lisa's Picks none or only low quality pictures exist. But nevertheless Anne handed over my enquiry to Tim, who is in charge of marketing and photography and asked him whether he could supply pics and data. So I'll stay in touch with them and see whether something can be worked out as a starting point for a little Lisa's Pick gallery here at our CRK forum. Meanwhile, please go ahead and post any picture of a Lisa's Pick you may have, together with the month and year information.
