words project is done except for photos for my files so they should be shipped tuesday

Sweet! Can't wait to see!
Surprise, surprise.....I'm changing my Words project.

:blink:

Why break tradition, I say!

I will, however, finish the project I originally started as it's super cool and fun and may very well fit into another project's specifications one day....or not....I may just keep it for myself.

Sooooo.....I will have my project out to you, Pixie, on the 28th. I wish I could send mine earlier, but this whole 'haven't started it yet' thing is a bit of an obstacle.

:doh:

You know hunnie.....we could always meet up or something....when your done...just sayin :D

I am having a bit of a time actually starting it! But am not giving up though!

Elle*

I thought I had a clear cut plan on how I wanted to do them and then I started them and they lead me down a different path...Take your time and have fun!

Well, our projects will be mailed tomorrow to you Pixie....

I'll look out for them!!! STOKED!

[Pixie]

Mine are finished and just need to be....oh wait....just kidding... :D

Hope everyone had a lovely start to their week!

[Pixie]

Corkey mailed ours today.

I got them!!! Very very cool!
Question....Did Corkey mean to not put a name on them????

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!

I have been looking for it for the past couple of days as I didn't know the exact send out date and I was beginning to get nervous. Glad to know I was just prematurely nervous. :)

Happens all the time. It gives me a chance to use up my odds 'n ends stationary to send the $ to the wrangler. :cheesy:

[Diva]

I got my Springs today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done, everyone!!! Thank You so much, Tommi!!!! Good wranglin', Cowboy! ;)

[femmennoir]

Went to spend my second Kate's Paperie groupon coupon, and got great paper, a calligraphy set, and the book How to Make Books by Esther Smith, all items were 50% off! I feel thrifty and virtuous!

[nycfem]

Spring came out so fabulous! If this package doesn't get one excited about spring, I don't know what would!! Thank you, Mr. Wrangler, and everyone who so creatively participated! It's amazing how well it all fit together, like everyone did something different- I loved it!

One question:
-Who made the ultra cool "spring forward" clock/"face" one? I didn't see a screen name on it.

I did. That was my first effort.

I put all of mine in baggies with both the first and second efforts in them and each recipient's name on the front along with mine. Maybe your baggie got opened somehow? You should have received the hummingbird too.

[nycfem]

Thanks! I received both! Loved 'em!

I was furn putting all the happy stuff together, and there was a special one for you. It's in the mail...Someones??not yours Corkey told me.
I Wrangled wrong..
There's a reward out for one green magnet with amiyesiam's name on it. Specially for her from Corkey. Could have sworn I put it in with the ami and Corkey envelope. So, should you come aross a gone fishin green magnet, I'll replace it with something wonderful of you'll send it off to ami. / :firetruck:

[Pixie]

Got my spring package!!! LOOOVE! :D


OOOooo also i got wolfbittenpoet's projects.....but I am keeping all of them, so there! :D

Seriously though today i felt like I hit the jackpot! Wahhoo!

[Soft*Silver]

I got the spring projects today! WOW! You all are magificent crafters! I loved them all!!! I think this is my favorite project so far!

I am working on my words project..trying to get them done. I only have one more day to work on them...Sunday I am going to be pre-occupied with preparing for the surgery and then the surgery itself. If I dont make it, please forgive me. I will mail them out to you on my own later. Or, I will drop out..I will let you know tomorrow. Depends on how much I get done tomorrow.

[femmennoir]

Got Words all mapped out, got all the materials I plan to use, just need to put it all together! I am excited!

Please tell her ami I am from the same space fleet, and am so glad she found it. . I made a point of doing her package first and making sure it was in there. There were only a few items hat had specific names on them,


Looking forward to finishing WORDs tomorrow pixie duster..

[purepisces]

I got mine today, too!!!

Loved, loved, loved everyone's projects - like a little package of sunshine! Thank you all.

I'm feeling inspired to work on my "Words" project ...

[Soft*Silver]

Dear Crafters...I am not going to be able to finish the Words project. I have tried to do the project but time slipped by. I have had company over alot because of he upcoming surgery and been sleeping on and off. Today family came over and we went over the living will, etc and now I have to go out with friends who want to take me out to eat! One last meal before I have to take that ugly prep. I so dont want you, the crafters to hate me. But I need to drop out. I just cant finish this project now. I hope to rejoin when this is all over...please?

[Tommi]

Dear softness,

Sending you a big safe bear hug (((((((softness))))))))))), and my best wishes for a safe journey across this time and place. Thanks for being her, and letting us know. We know taking care of yourself must come first right now. So, when you are healing and bored, check back in here, and doodle or something....:rose:

Blessings 2 U.

[justkim]

Thank you! I got *Spring* in the mail today... What a wonderful way to end the week...

Softness, you will be in our prayers tonight......We are sending you peace, tranquility, and hugs as you prepare for your surgery....Take care of you....That's more important than anything else....

Just got home and had fun looking through everyone's Spring projects. Love them all! Thank you!!!

:stillheart:

I love what I received (you all are SO incredibly talented!!!), but I only received 8 pieces. Did 3 people drop out? Did I not get the memo?

:blink:

Yeah--I received 9 pieces. Were there supposed to be more? I think I remember sending 11...

:stillheart:

[Gemme]

:stillheart:

One of the participants didn't send anything in, so 10, I think.

[nycfem]

I think that if someone(s) drops out, the wrangler should send back the extras (not talking this situation, just in general). In these instances, if I haven't written who it's for directly on the project, then I can give the extra(s) to a friend :)

[justkim]

At one point I didn't think I was going to complete the project for Spring but I did... So now I can't remember who all was signed up for this one. I know I sent extra's but I figured Tommi could keep what was left over... I may or may not have planned it that way...

I loved everything I received this go round... I have been working on my rough draft for the raffle...

Happy crafting everyone!

Does this mean in this instance we should send one less for Words? Perhaps it would be nice for someone having surgery to get some art work, even if she cannot send hers? Should we send an extra dollar to cover the postage for the extra one?
I am in the dark, this being my first attempt! I have decided though to always make one for myself, and to make a portfolio of them, so I started making 13! (and I will be mailing in a couple of days)

OH!!!!! I thought it was supposed to be mailed by the 28th!!!!! LOL! Well, it will be mailed by the 28th, but I'll know better next time! Do you all insure the stuff? How do you mail it??

Confused minds want to know!

[Diva]

Oh please, let's not. We wind up doing this all the time.....I've been late, too, I admit. But I hope we don't extend again....

Just sayin'....

[nycfem]

I think it's a personal choice. When I'm wrangling, I personally don't like when people insure the stuff because then somehow it doesn't always end up being delivered to my apartment (no door person), and I end up needing to stand in an inconvenient post office line to get it. I do believe in legible return addresses though :)

Do you all insure the stuff? How do you mail it??

Confused minds want to know!

Mine will be in the mail today. Not what my origianl theme was , but ended up being fun to do, and I am okay with it.. So , deadline will be met.

Good luck pixie with the Wranglin' :fastdraq: .

[Pixie]

Okiedokie! I just wanted to give the option bc i'd rather the deadline be pushed than have all but four ppl drop. yanno? Anywho still stoked to see everyones! Have a great tuesday!

Don't feel bad, I thought it was supposed to be mailed by the 28th, too! I thought I was early this time, but maybe I just made it in under the wire?

As for mailing, I send mine in a flat rate priority mail envelope from the post office. It's under $5 and, so far, it's always made it to the wrangler (knock on wood). I don't insure it and most of the time I don't even ask for the delivery confirmation.

[purepisces]

Okiedokie! I just wanted to give the option bc i'd rather the deadline be pushed than have all but four ppl drop. yanno? Anywho still stoked to see everyones! Have a great tuesday!

I agree, I'd rather wait a few days if it means we get to see everyone's work. I know all too well how life can get in the way of these deadlines sometimes. But, I wouldn't want to extend the deadline more than a week.

And, as for Softness, I would love it if we could still send her a package. I am more than happy to send you a little extra postage to help cover mailing expenses. I'm sure it would cheer her up after her surgery.

[purepisces]

Has the next crafty project been chosen?

I'm excited to find out what our next project is, too!

[Stacy]

Hello all you amazing right brained peeps!
First of all, I want to sincerely apologize. I started a new job and just finished 7 weeks of training. I think it's been almost that long since I have been on this site. I totally dropped the ball on my spring project. I got 10 done, then never finished or sent them. I feel really bad about it. I got a lovely little reminder from Janey today and she asked if I was still interested in wrangling. I certainly am if y'all will still have me. I promise NOT to drop the artsy-fartsy ball this time.
If yes, then I'll post the next project by the end of today.
Blessings~

I say that we close the sign up now. Normally, the wrangler set the date that sign up will close when they post the project. However, it looks like she hasn't been back to the thread since the project was posted. I believe it's her first time to wrangle, so she probably wasn't aware of all the details involved.

Anyone else want to vote to close sign up?

For Mother's Day, I made my mom a flower pot card like I sent out to some of you last round and she loved it. Whee! :)

:stillheart:

[Tommi]

I say that we close the sign up now. Normally, the wrangler set the date that sign up will close when they post the project. However, it looks like she hasn't been back to the thread since the project was posted. I believe it's her first time to wrangle, so she probably wasn't aware of all the details involved.

Anyone else want to vote to close sign up?

I am voting!

im dropping too sorry

[Pixie]

Just wanted those in the Words Round that they are in due route to you. extras included back in your pkg. Also I sent one on to someone I think youd all be pleased with ;)

[femmennoir]

Diva and Tommi,
Looks like it would be the three of us, we have not heard from Deviant in a while....What say you????
Elle*

[femmennoir]

I think since we have not heard from the wrangler, I will pull out as well. How disappointing though! I look forward to the next event!

Elle*

[nycfem]

Due to some past experiences with art that never arrives as well as sending money never returned, we generally like to suggest that those considering wrangling participate in a few projects first. This not only gives the wrangler-to-be some experience in how all of this works but also allows us to see that the potential wrangler is someone who can be trusted with following through on the bigger responsibility of wrangling.

That being said, anyone want to volunteer to wrangle a new project? :)

[lionpaw]

Thanks Pixie for the update!....Thanks everyone for being so supportive of us because of unforseen circumstances.....We look forward to when the "Words" projects arrive.....:)

[nycfem]

Diva? Tommi? Any thoughts on where to go from here? I hope I didn't jump the gun in saying we should think about a new project.

And Deviant, I hope you'll check in with us, and let us know if you are alright. I hope that your new job is going well.

I wish not to bulldoze or alienate my creative companions, newer and older!

I think you hit a bulls eye, and where to go from here, perhaps a new wrangler with a new idea. Summer is coming so perhaps a longer project deadline, but a shorter sign up?

[femmennoir]

I can't wait to receive the Words projects!

Sweet, sweet Jennifer ... you worry too much! I know, because I do the same thing. I would also love to start a project soon.

I think it would be nice to do a project this month and then in June and July I think I'll need to really focus on my 6 pages for the reunion project. If I recall correctly, we need to have those to Pixie at the beginning of August?

Also, I hope to hear from Deviant soon, I didn't want to hurt her feelings by dropping out ... it just seemed like the project was floundering without her input.

Pixie is moving in early August, so we need to have our pages to her before then, if we can. Once she's settled, I'm sure she'll give us a new address for the late bloomers of the group.

[amiyesiam]

I have my 6 pages for the planet project laid out now just need to put stuff on them LOL

Pixie when do you need things to you? We want you have be comfortable and get things done without frazzled

Thanks Gemme for the info...

[lionpaw]

Hi Pixie....We have a question....Now, that we are all aware that you will be moving what works best for you with the Planet project?

We read Gemme's suggestion, and it was a good one, but then we started thinking about when we made our last move to Erie, Pa....Even with my anal retentive nature (the scientist in me), it took a week for us to have some semblance of order.....It took us even much longer to settle in to our new apartment....Scarier yet, we are still discovering items that were important to us one year later....Yes, I made a list of a list of a list.....I think you know where I am going here....

Do you have a place to designate where the artwork will be kept (i.e. the trunk of your car) when you move? If, you should receive them before the August deadline?.....

I say this in a good way because there is nothing more frustrating than having something you need at a later date, and you cannot find it when you want it or need it...

Just another kind thought sent your way by us....Y&L

[Pixie]

Hello All!

Y'all are so kind and so on the ball!!!

I am moving early august, but I have a special box that has all of my crafties and things that always is reachable and will leave that open until August 1. I will accept projects after that deadline, but it will be probably a good three weeks that I won't be able to receive any mail due to travel and set up. That being said.... The deadline to send it to me in Austin should be July 27 so that it has time to get to me :D

And I won't be accepting anymore once I am in Iowa after September 1 so I have a good month to get it all together!!

Does that sound reasonable???

Love you all!

[nycfem]

If it's cool with y'all, since time is passin', I'm going to go ahead and post a project for sign up.

THE RISK PROJECT

My idea is for us all to go outside our comfort zone and try a new form of art or creative technique or something each of us personally don't usually do. The idea is to not worry about whether it comes out "good" or not and to just do something that feels risky for you and be okay with sending out the results. Success will be evaluated by oneself based on whether you let yourself get out of what you are used to, not whether the finished project is something you'd consider your best. To the contrary, sending out "imperfect" first results as one's final projects are encouraged.

Sound good?

Cut off date- let's see if we can get our sign ups by end of this weekend.

Due date: June 15th (My correct address starts with 309. If you don't have that, PM me for it.)

Risk! Well so far, my first one was a great risky adventure for me, as I had no idea what everyone else really did! I survived, it was fun and it made me think, write, and create! All good in my book!
I have to say I already had an idea for the Wet dreams one, and was going to use a photo I took for that purpose on my birthday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (Japanese orange koi swimming in a pond, with a cache of coins shining in the water.......anyway, I will use it for a one of a kind piece of art!)

Very glad you signed up! It's always fun to have a newbie :rrose:.

Here's the basics:

1) Include a single five dollar bill with your project to cover the wrangler's mailing costs.

2) To figure out how many projects to send the wrangler (everything gets sent to the wrangler- in this case, me), wait till the sign-up is closed (end of this weekend), and look how many people signed up. Then mail one less than the # of people signed up (because you don't need to make one for yourself).

3) We frequently do 4 by 6 or 5 by 7 inch homemade postcards, but some people occasionally do something 8.5 by 11. Don't get larger than that. Don't mail anything too heavy or too big. When I mail out the projects, I mail them in a priority mail envelope. Basically you want to keep in mind that it has to be easy and cheap for the wrangler to send with a bunch of other projects.

4) It doesn't have to be a postcard. Some people make a little journal, use photos they've taken, or other random creativity. They should have a homemade quality to them. They can all be the same or each be different. You can label who you want each to go to or let the wrangler decide. It's all up to you.

5) Dont' worry about skill level. Some people are very professional craft genius types and other people are just having fun and expressing themselves. It's nice to have a mix! Some people spend a long time on their projects and others don't. It's all good! The most important thing is to complete your projects relatively on time and send them in.

Let us know if you have other questions :rrose:

Success will be evaluated by oneself based on whether you let yourself get out of what you are used to, not whether the finished project is something you'd consider your best. To the contrary, sending out "imperfect" first results as one's final projects are encouraged.

This is a good one. I need something challenging, Thanks Jennifer.

[cara]

I am converting my seldom used spice rack into a craft rack. It looks like the spice rack found at this (http://www.yourhomedepot.com.au/products/olde-thompson/spice-rack/spice-racks) link. I don't mind losing this spice rack because it was given to me many years ago and the jars are not air tight, which means if I put any spices in them, they will go bad or worse: Attract bugs. Yuck!

My quandary is this: Currently, the lids have all been labeled in silver paint with which spice is supposed to be in which jar. I can't figure out how to get the silver paint off. Simply marking over the words with a black permanent marker is a viable option, but you can still see the words somewhat.

Ideas?

Please help me crafty friends!!! :)

:stillheart:

Crylon rustolium spray paint. Covers anything, then get some silver paint and re paint them.

[cara]

I just thought of maybe hot gluing one of the items in the jar onto the lid. Of course, if I ever change what is in the container, it might get a little annoying...

[Diva]

Do You have a label~maker thingy? Those things are AMAZING!!!

No, but my office does. Hmm...Maybe I can borrow it. I will have to see if it will stick to the plastic lids...

Thanks!

That is true, but I actually LOVE this idea. I can just see a tiny button here or a little piece of ribbon there. You could make your converted craft rack into a crafty venture all its own.

Since I don't have the time, money, or space to spray paint, I have blackened all the lettering with permanent marker and attached one of each item to its corresponding jar using double-sided tape. Works for now. :)

Holy Moley!
So....we're supposed to take a risk and do something we've never done, right?

I am. It took me 2 hours to do ONE! lol

Ok, ok.....I may be addicted to yet ANOTHER crafty thingy......I blame Y'ALL!

I have my main "risky" parts, but I am not finding the way to weave them together....I need the creative juices to open their gates!

[nycfem]

Sometimes going to art websites or books and looking at others' work, even if it's not what I'm doing, gets my creative juices going!

[lionpaw]

Well, we have figured out what to create, and we are starting to gather up our materials....:)

[Pixie]

I got my idea and gonna look at supplies soon so izz can start!

[Diva]

Pixie brought my Words thingies over a little bit ago!!!

WOW!!! I love them all! Good work, Y'all!!!!!

[purepisces]

Jennifer - I hope you were serious about suspending judgement on our projects! I'm finding that working on this project is both liberating and scary. If I could just get my damn inner critic to shut up!

[Diva]

I haz paper cutz.
I blamez Jennifer.
:eyebat:


I lub her, but I blamez her anywho. :)

[Diva]

So I decided to give that Sketchbook Project another chance. I did my first one when I was still learning how to get my art to work and ~quite frankly ~ I was NOT all that pleased with the outcome.

SO. I'm gonna do it again. I got my Sketchbook in today's mail. It's different. Where we had a choice before, we did not this time. All covers are brown cardboard-ish. No worries there. AND ~ the part that *I* love ~ there aren't as many pages to fill!!!

Jennifer....I'm going to have Button Trees for Your Button Peeps!! ;)

I've already painted the cover a lovely metallic purple!

[lionpaw]

We had a very productive day!....We will be finished by tomorrow with our risk project!...Yay!...:).....Next, out BFP projects!...:)

[Pixie]

i vote to join the lionpaw team! pretty please?

[nycfem]

I am so serious about that! We all have a "pass" to take a vacation from our comfort zone and not worry about cleaning up any messes that arise from trying something new! :)

[lionpaw]

Our risks project is complete and going in the mail today....Yay!.....A funny little story to tell about this project.....While Lion and I (Paw) were making our contribution to this round, we would make several and go "oooh!...I want that one please?!....Okay, time to make another one to complete the project.....Then, it would happen again....."Oooh, honey, I want that one please?!"....Folks, it took us four attempts to finish our project.....But, it is done....:)

Ayeeeee, have glue gun burns and long spidery glue strings on many things :|
and ditto about that Jennifer :stillheart:

I have time to try something less risky :byebye:
maybe popsicle stick rafts, :hangloose:, I've eaten enough banana and chocolate ones lately.

[1PlayfulFemme]

*Laughing* Well, if my risk pays off and everything sets up well, then mine are finished!!!! And I learned a thing...or ten! ;)

Gotta tell you, I'm a lil nervous about this! But, it's so exciting! Can't wait to see all the projects!!!!

[wolfbittenpoet]

Mine are still in process but I think I like them. But wow it was an experience.

[Gemme]

Mine look weird.

:blink:

I will stick with tradition and not send mine out until the last or next to last day.

:cheesy:

[LadyRain]

I am back.. looking forward to creating again. happy to see you all still here too, i miss ya..

[Corkey]

I am in the process as it were of doing mine. They are turning out just the way I wanted.
You'll all just have to wait I'm not done.

[lionpaw]

Yesterday, we started gathering up our supplies to make our planet project and raffle projects......It was a beautiful day, and we kicked back a little with Ami & Corkey!

[lionpaw]

Oh, I meant to ask awhile back after we received our "words" project.....Whoever is "typewriter boy" would you please pm us and let us know your bfp screen name....We'd like to send you a "thank you" note, but we don't know your name.....Thanks.....lionpaw

Good morning

risk project is coming along!

reunion project is coming along

I have 4 days off and plan on doing Catch UP!

[amiyesiam]

of course I would catch up faster if I stopped googling things (seriously)

google: zentangle

it is cool
it is easy

[femmennoir]

I am on a school trip in Philadelphia, coming back Friday! 45 7th graders! School will be out June 10th and until then I have 95 reports to do and an entire classroom to pack! It will be dicey, but I think I will make it!

That's what *I* was thinking! But since I'm so much older than YOU, YOU stole it from ME! :giggle:

I'm thinking that someone was pretty smart to give it a clever name and market it....Zentangle KIT? I love it! Cara....I think we should get a cut! ;)

Since I am older than both of you, and the bank account is in my name... I buy an 8 X 10 tablet with hard paper and some different # sketching pencils, and a really fine permanent marker, and begin with a scribble. Such fun, and relaxing

I did a ZenTangle ~ started on it yesterday and finished it this morning......there's a picture of it in my Gallery......

It IS very calming!

[femmennoir]

Visited today Kiteya, a Japanese store which had offered a groupon (or a bloomspot coupon), in Soho (Broom Street). Charming shop, where I got hand made Japanese origami paper, a book on how to use textiles to wrap Japanese style, and a little black silk zipped pouch for lipstick and sundries. Owners really charming too, they gave me a little gift for having visited! (Japanese incense wrapped in silk). They have a nice selection of Japanese hand made paper.

Elle*, who is almost ready to start the risky project.

[Diva]

Elle.....I just visited their website! What lovely things! >> LINKY~LOO (http://www.kiteya.com/home)<<

I've posted some more ZenTangles in my Gallery!! :)

This is definitely the type of store I could go bonkers in. How lovely!

And thank you, Diva, for the link!

[femmennoir]

Thank you, Diva, for posting the link! I hate to say I don't know how to post links! However, my project is coming along, I have almost all the materials, and although the technique will be risky for me, I kept the previous aborted theme of "wet dreams"! My visit to Kiteya inspired some of the steps I will take! Enough said!

Elle*

[femmennoir]

So suddenly I was inspired and made the prototype for my "Risk", and liked it, and now I have made three of them! Coming along nicely, with actually two new (for me) techniques! I will be early!

Elle*

[femmennoir]

I am now finished and waiting for the address to mail them!! The risk paid off I think!

Elle*

[femmennoir]

Risky business mailed this morning! Yeah!!!!! How is everyone doing?

Elle*

[amiyesiam]

good afternoon to all

I hope to work on and finish my risk project on my days off!

[femmennoir]

I...hum....just realized that I did not include the $ in the envelope! It will be in the mail today! By the way, Jennifer, the Femme Tea on June 11th is at Francia, the lovely vegan Korean Tea House on the UES, 2:30pm....Just sayin'...

Elle*, very contrite

[Diva]

Hey Y'all.....I have a question.......

Several of us have participated in our projects for a while now. How do You store them? At first, I was putting them in a photo box....since outgrown!

Ideas?

[Gemme]

I'm still working on a good system for that. Right now, I have some in the original mailers/packaging and tucked away in my footlocker or a plastic tub. Some are semi-loose in the plastic boxes and tubs and some are just kinda sitting around, waiting for me to figure out what the Hell to do with them.

There are a few pieces that I would like to showcase and plan on either putting them in cases and hanging the decorative cases and/or using open boxes and blocks mounted on the wall and tucking the project inside.

[amiyesiam]

when my basket of projects got full
I pulled out my absolute favorites and put them in an album
and am now filling up the basket again!

[Pixie]

I kinda do what Gemme does. I have a under the bed tub (with wheels) and have them in there organized by the round in their package :D

[cara]

I am just keeping them in a so unglamorous, large, mailing box. It works for now. :)

[femmennoir]

I was thinking of a scrapbook for the projects, but of course I just have one batch!

I think what I might do is get more plastic notebook sleeves and keep them in that....

Was in the West Village this morning and ran into the Jane Street Flea Market Day, and bought a set of Nepali deities woodblock printing set, complete with lokia paper, handmade from the bark of the daphne tree. They are: Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Green Tara the patron Goddess of Tibet in her aspect of motherly compassion, Maya-Devi the mother of Buddha, and Mayakali or Great Black One, the Protector.
They also came with an archival red pigment ink pad.

I don't know how I will use them, but they were only $5 for the set!

I put my Riskaloos in today's mail......I'm admitting that it wasn't much of a risk, what I did. I started out on something totally different....and got so many paper cuts after doing TWO of them.....well.....I love Y'all, but those things HURT! So I had started something new and so I did a set of those.

Cryptics R Us. :eyebat:

Are we going to be working on our P.L.A.N.E.T. stuff now? Or are we doing another project? I don't see how I can....I'm going on vacation in a month (Road Trip!) and after that, I'll be getting ready for my very first show!! :)

Actually, yes and no. We're getting our p's and q's in order, but it won't be long now before an announcement will be made regarding decorations for the Reunion. It's a fun, easy project and those who would like to participate are more than welcome.

As soon as we have all the info, we'll post the details in here! :)

Congrats on your SHOW, you infamous artist, you!!!! That's a HUGE deal, so we would understand if you have enough on your plate without that project.

We should ALL be working on our PLANET pages so they can be sent to Pixie (preferrably) before she moves far, far away in a couple of months. *sad face that's happy for her but will miss her bouncy energy HERE*

Tommi, I don't think anyone has dropped out and the deadline to mail is the 15th of this month.

I engaged in very risky...or was it risque?....business earlier tonight, but that's for another thread. :eyebat:

I have two rough drafts completed for my *Planet* project... Now I just need to decide which one I want to do...

[nycfem]

RISK PROJECT: 11 projects to be postmarked to me on/by June 15th :)

I have received Lionpaw's and Femmenoir's :)

Now on to my question: Diva, tell us all about your first show!!! Some of us want to live vicariously through you, our celebrity artist! And, in fact, I'd love to hear anytime one of us has some art success. It's encouraging, inspiring, and informational for probably everyone who hangs out on this thread!

And, in fact, I'd love to hear anytime one of us has some art success. It's encouraging, inspiring, and informational for probably everyone who hangs out on this thread!



Oh Lord, the PRESSURE!!!!! lol
I hope I haven't jumped the gun.....it's a juried show and I haven't been accepted yet! And while I hate rejection, I am willing acceptance....so there You have it!:praying:

It's the Old Pecan Street Fall Festival, the last weekend in September. They just had their spring show last month....I certainly wasn't ready for that one. But I loved just walking around, checking out the booths. This year, I went with a different mindset than before....I went to check things out! My art, *I* believe, would fit in nicely.

So thank You, Jennifer, for Your sweet words....that made me smile and lifted my spirits! :heartbeat:

Well I was doing so well on risk. And then the printer went kaput. So I have done new project not as fancy but they will be shipped by due date. G_d willing and the creeks don't rise.

I saw Pixie tonight at Candace's party....and I got a preview of her Risk project!!! VERY COOL!

I started working on my "PLANET" book stuff this morning......SO fun!

[Tommi]

Risky...yes..

Just FYI, I risked....Found out I am not a good glitterer or glue gunner.

But , I had hella-lotta-fun. Each one is Uni-Que Open carefully.

Jennifer, Thanks for taking me outta the box and into Michael's AND Joanne's.

I know...Imagining how different every project is that one of us does, it is going to be out of this world (Planet~~pun) . I think it will be stellar..Yeah to the Pixie for doing the collating and assembly.

I'll have my Risk project out in the mail tomorrow. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It is something I am NOT comfortable doing or showing, really. But, I still feel good about it somehow.

I started working this weekend on the reunion project. I finished a piece that I really love, but realized as soon as I glued the last bit in place that I didn't leave room for the binding! So, I guess I'll be starting over. :(

Just wondered if anyone has suggestions for how much space should be left clear for binding?

Half an inch at least, I would think. Pixie told me once but we were eating and it was really good and all I heard in my head was "Yumyumyumyum".

:blink:

I am pretty sure she said half an inch.

As far as the project goes, I :stillheart: Jennifer so much because she always picks the most thoughtful, profound projects and this one has stumped me repeatedly.

I'm not ashamed to say that I've failed miserably at one thing....the MAIN thing I wanted to do....but given my procrastination and general frustration with it, I'm letting it go and you all will see my goof and my attempt to fix it as best I could. In the end, it's turning out to not be so bad. It's different, that's for sure, and that's the goal, right? So, we're good. :)

Don't trash it just yet. Maybe she can still work with it somehow. She's uber creative.

Risk should go out tomorrow. Otherwise definitely Thursday. It's been an adventure.

Hunnie bunnie, send it with them....I can make it work! I gave yall a smaller size maximum for that reason.....so don't you worry!

Risk goes out tomorrow in da mail.
Next up the reunion project.

[femmedyke]

I'm so excited to play with ya'll that my toes are curling in mad suspense!
Happy Wednesday!

[wolfbittenpoet]

Risk is going out tomorrow. I finished the last bits today. It was risky only because of the speed and materials used.

[Diva]

I've done the "P", the "L" and the "E".......it's my prerogative to do them out of order.... :eyebat:
