creative challenge link party

 

Hooray the day has finally arrived!

 

I offered a challenge a month ago to anyone

who wanted to play along and sent these brave

crafters a random picture and a random colour.

 

Their challenge was to create something using these

"clues" as inspiration.

 

They could use any medium they liked , paint, fabric, wood or glue.

 

I cannot wait to see what they've done!

 

Please visit these creative types I know you won't be disappointed.

 

 

 

a bit of housekeeping

 

I've been a bit preoccupied lately

with stuff happening around here.

 

Most importantly the time has come when I

get to see my son graduate from The Royal Australian Navy.

 

To say I am excited to see him after three months

is a huge understatement.

 

We will be able to spend the weekend with him

before he goes back for more training and then

he will be sent to another base and hopefully

we will see him again at Christmas.

 

On the crafty side Monday the 1st of September

will be the day you will get to see the wonderful

creations that have been made for

The Creative Challenge.

 

I can't wait to see what everyone has done!

 

Please join us on Monday for the big reveals.

 

 

 

creative challenge update

 

Hello there, long time no see!

 

I thought I'd pop in and give a little update on the Creative Challenge.

 

We had 42 crafty people sign up and take on the challenge.

Each were sent an email with a picture and a colour.

Using these as inspiration they are creating something unique.

Some will be using paint, some will be sewing and

some will be gluing.

It is totally up to the individual.

There are no rules, no prizes and no wrong ways to do it.

 

It is just for fun!

 

The challenge finishes at the end of the month and

on the 1st of September I will add a linky thing here

and hopefully all the challengers will link here

to their blog posts showing you what they have done.

I'm really thrilled that so many joined in!

 

Stay tuned I think we are going to see some fabulous creations!

If there is enough interest there may be another challenge soon.

 

Would you be interested next time ?

 

 

are you up for a creative challenge?

 

Many years ago I was a part of a great forum.

We had swaps and meets and challenges.

 

One of the really fun challenges was where we signed

up and then were given a random picture and a colour.

 

From these we were free to create whatever we liked

using the picture and the colour as our inspiration.

 

I was given the colour pink and a picture of a gingerbread man.

I ummed and ahhed and finally decided on this little stitchery.

 

 

But if I wanted to I could have made a stuffed pink gingerbread

or cards or wallhangings or anything.

 

I thought it might be fun to kick off another challenge like this.

 

What are your thoughts?

Are you interested?

 

I would need a few to sign up to make it interesting and

you would need to email me .

I would email you back with a picture and a colour.

You would then create something using these as your inspiration.

One month from the day the emails are sent I will

add a linky thing here and you would blog your creation

and hundreds of us would

descend on your blog exclaiming at your awesomeness!

 

All this was running through my head last night

so if you have any thing to add please just say so.

 

Feel free to sign up now by

leaving a comment but then you must email me.

send to clarebower@bigpond.com

 

It would also be great if you told your friends too

the more the merrier!

I will close the signups at the end of the month which

means you will need to blog your creations on 1st September.
