i was unable to mail the last round out on time,i was in hospital, but it is mailed now and should be there tommorow. I included the "green" project that was sent back to me. I have not been feeling well, and now the doc finally knows whats wrong......soooo let the healing begin. I am goin to sit the new round out cause I dont have the strength to do it, but i look forward to still be part of the group. Perhaps the new round could be put in the gallery so i can see what everyone did? :rainsing:

Gemme 04-16-2010 04:37 PM

I got my package today and it was lovely. I know that some folks will do one design and replicate it and some will do a few of this and a few of that and there are others that make each one a completely different design. So, in the spirit of making sure everyone knows how much I appreciate the work they did, here is my breakdown:

Tommi~I LOVE the castle! I wanted to do a doorknob/handle with the wheely things but could not find a way to make it work like I wanted. Yours was brilliant, my friend! I think I enjoyed this piece more than any other I've received from you.

Diva~I love the quiet elegance of yours and I love that you choose that one for me. I love your calligraphy and I love your work, always. The tie was perfect too.

Rain~You have a most interesting eye and I enjoy seeing through it in the pieces I've seen of yours. This one is no exception. I loved the way you designed the stars very much.

Cara~With my projects, I left them open and unfolded because I couldn't decide how to close them. I thought about using a sticker (like you did) but thought it would take away from the piece as a whole (opening it would 'damage' it, etc) but I have to admit...it was just the opposite effect. I cut it so it wouldn't tear anything and it was like opening a present! You did such a lovely job.

Ami~Your work is impeccable, as always. I appreciated that you left yours open too. It was the only one I received that was open, and most of mine had been left open, so it helped me to feel a little bit less like I didn't do it right, yanno? I love that your work has meaning behind it and a message. Beautiful.

Softness~How clever, with the pink gauzy material! Not only did I get a present with the triptych card coming from the material, but there was a reveal inside too. Doubly enjoyable!

Jennifer~Knowing that your's were the first to get done makes me love mine a little more, I think. Not only is the piece elegant and so SMART looking (Look smart is something my Gran would say to me a lot), but it really shows a piece of who you are. Oh, and it is SEXY too with the eye and the woman on her back with her legs in the air, taking her pants off! :tease:

Pure~Your piece reminds me of el tigress, with the design and the purposeful 'random' swipes of glitter and dots. I love, love, love this piece!

Pixie~I haven't opened yours yet and I'm not going to. I mentioned having issues with determining how to close up the cards and I thought about using something similar to your metal button too but thought "how will they get into it?" and gave up. You, my dear, did use it and I didn't want to rip it, so I peeked into it from above and lo and behold, there is a glittery flower in there! I am taking your hidden flower and your choice of BLOOM to heart. I'm not 'there' yet and so, like the beautiful shiny, sparkly flower inside your piece, I shan't be opened just yet. *smile* Oh, and I LOVED the lime green puffy paint! It's my color, don'tcha know? :eyebat:

Now that you all know how much I love and appreciate your work, here's the sad little truth. I cried like a baby when I got the package and went through it because I saw all of these beautiful, smart, well-done pieces and I felt like crap. I know that my artistic endeavors are much less sophisticated and complex than...well, most of all of you. Most days I'm okay with being the less advanced one in the class, so to speak, but today...not so much. I have lovely visions in my head of designs and patterns but I cannot seem to translate it into actual work. Part of it is that I don't have the necessary tools and part of it is that I just don't have the talent and artistic vision to do it. I even seriously contemplated pulling out of Jake's project because I just don't feel I can do it justice.

Well, it's a few hours, pain killers, deep breaths, pep talks, and cinnamon mini rolls later and I still think I'm at the back of the pack, but when I think about it, it's one Helluva pack, so I guess I'm okay with that.

Anyway, I loved the work done and I appreciate the chance to experience all of your work.

Diva 04-16-2010 05:02 PM

I got my package today, too!

I loved them so much! I'm not as good as Gemmie to be more specific.....I'm really having allergy issues right now and my head is full of.....stuff....lol

Thanks for everyone's effort! They were so fun and lovely and sweet! I loved them all!





nycfem 04-16-2010 05:08 PM

LadyRain 04-16-2010 05:19 PM

purepisces 04-16-2010 05:35 PM

I got the triptych's .. What a trip...:groupphoto:

I am so glad we are all so different. It is exciting to see the variety we bring to the table. My coffee table too..The cards are all on display and a pleasure to look at again and again, and talk about with friends


Did someone get Two???? :bananasplit:Jennifer, I have an extra one if it doesn't turn up....

JAKEeeeeee:hospital-snoopy: Come back soon..I came up with the answer for that tree-water-index card project...

Pixie, O I was gentle, but I ripped it open to see what was inside.. That's jut me I spose.

Ami, I loved the idea...after getting stuck for awhile on trying to use all the goodiees. Isn't it amazing to see what each of us did.?
?

THANK YOU OH CREATIVE ONES..

and Gemme that DOES include you....

nycfem 04-18-2010 08:56 AM

Oh, goodie, Tommi, yes please send me one of yours! Unless someone got 2 of yours and can send me one, but I don't hear anyone piping up to say that..
And, Diva, the one I received that was for you shall go out tomorrow!

JakeTulane 04-20-2010 02:36 PM

Hello My Friend,

*smiles*.. I am glad you liked the jewelry. I hope you get some good bids with it at the actual auction. Have a great time with the company.

Jake.

Hi Everyone,

As to the project. .. purepisces has let Me know that the project was put on hold while I was away? yes? If so, where are we at with it...? Or would it be preferred that another wrangler be named and the project changed? Just let Me know. I will pick up where we left off.. if that is everyone's consensus.

Thanks,
Jake

The only rule is that you have to somehow incorporate a piece of a tree and some water into it. (I would like to see some browns and blues)... a piece of the tree..etc..You can also paint the index cards to match you theme using whatever you have handy...crayons, watercolors, oils, pastels, etc. I would like the tree and water parts to be three dimensional.

After you are done putting the card together. I would like a brief note to be written as to why this memory stands out in your childhood.

We will do 10 participants. Same rules will apply as to helping with postage as I send all of Mine out priority mail with iinsurance

Let your minds wander back to when you were young.. at a time when you had no cares in the and you were at one with the Earth..

If you have any questions - please let Me know. Thank you.

I would like this to be a scene from one's childhood memory(memories).

It can be an index card, cardboard, etc... up to 5x7. (this is for mailing purposes).

I would like to see a tree and water incorporated into the scene. I would like the tree portion to be an actual piece of a tree. As for the water, I do understand the difficulty of "sending" water through the mail.. so I modified that to say that the water scene can be painted, colored by crayon, colored pencil, marker, whatever one wishes.

I would like the tree and water to be three dimensional. So that the tree and water part come away from the index card, cardboard, etc.. and can be seen.

If one does not wish to give a description of the childhood memory, I am absolutely fine with that. I did not realize until after that some may not want to share that memory in word form.

As for the comment about the blue and brown.. I would like to see those two colors incorporated.. along with ANY other colors one chooses to bring forth the memory.

I hope this addresses everything.

Also, as to the time frame. I will extend the sign up date to April 26th. Once the sign up is complete, I will give three (3) weeks to have the projects complete. So that would be... postmarked to Me by May 17th.

As in the last round and others extensions have been given as to the time and that certainly can happen with this as well. I do realize we all have lives.

I hope I have addressed everything here and made things more clear.

Please expand your minds as to how to incorporate things .. I think this could be a really fun project showing all of us a glimpse into one's memory.

Not necessarily on hold, but the deadline for signing up hasn't gotten here yet. Once the deadline comes, we'll know exactly how many pieces we need to get out.

Soft*Silver 04-24-2010 08:32 PM

Corkey 04-24-2010 08:41 PM

Soft*Silver 04-24-2010 11:52 PM

oh heavens...she repped me and reminded me I had asked her to hold it up. LOL. This move has been so stressful and had so many challenges... I have been suffering from mental and physical fatigue. Thanks for the reminders...I sent her my new addy...looking forward to everyone's creativity!

amiyesiam 04-25-2010 01:10 AM

JakeTulane 04-25-2010 07:15 PM

Well .. maybe is now is not a good time for a project like Mine.. yes? Or a project in general.. I am not quite sure. Everyone seems to be busy or not interested at the moment.

So I will put this on hold.. until everyone wagers in.

Lady Pamela 04-25-2010 08:17 PM

One of my passions are to camp.
But I am also into survival techniques.

I just wanted to share one most people enjoy watching me do.

Items needed:

Aluminum Foil
A box
A piece of glass that fits in the box and is the full width of the box
A mason jar big enough to cook in. " a large empty bottle "Such as what a jumbo size bottle of pickles came in" will work well.
And whatever ingredients you need to make your meal.
"Such as stew, soup, etc.

Cover the entire inside of the box with aluminum.
Place all your food ingredients into jar
Place jar in the bottom of the box, centered in the middle
At an angle, place glass into box
Turn box so the open top and glass face the sun
"Make dure to start this process early in the day...So by evening..all food will be cooked"
Make sure items you have to cut up are not super thick or big!


As you hike or fish or whatever...your food will cook and be ready to eat when your evening mealtime comes.

Hope you enjoy!

Soft*Silver 04-25-2010 09:07 PM

huh? I am interested! What happened???

Nothing "happened". I think Gemme was right .. I might have given too much time for people to sign up. .. so My apologies .. it is My first time doing this. However, that is no excuse I have been involved in others.

So at this time we have:

1. purepisces
2. Random
3. Tommi
4. Gemme
5. softness
6. Jake

I think there has been plenty of time for people to sign up. So the signing up is closed.

Everyone can go with the list above as to who a project needs to be made for.

Also, we have determined..

a. That we do not have to disclose a childhood memory.

b. The water can and should be painted. (no need to try to figure out how to transport it.. not sure what I was thinking.. I think it was the 3-D thing)

c. As Random had asked.. it can be interpretation... as to the memory.. and whether or not it included a tree and water.

d. As Gemme asked. it most certainly can contain all the usual suspects.. glitter, etc.

My only asking was that it included a water and tree scene... and that I wanted those to be in 3-D.

Let Me know if I missed anything and if there are anymore questions or ponderings.

Thank you.
Jake

Gemme 04-26-2010 11:54 AM

I'm not sure what I was right about....*grin*....but it is nice to hear once in a while.

The date to get everything out to you is May 17?

Soft*Silver 04-26-2010 12:49 PM

if we do it sooner, I would be cool with that. It would motivate me to get my craft room organized.
