And if you are thinking to yourself...self, what IS Gemme talking about?...then you can read up on it here. Maybe it could help jog some ideas as well.

Sign Up List
1. Gemme 2. clay 3. GeorgiaMa'am 4. cara 5. nycfem 6. 7. 8. 9. Sign up ends 9/16. Projects due to me on or before 10/14. They are officially late and the late rule applies on 10/22. See rule below. "For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules." Here is my proposal: in addition to the method of weaving, choose one element (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) and one other option of your choice (zodiac signs, colors, seasons, directions, diseases, tastes, heavenly creatures) from the Five Elements Grid below. If you are familiar with this grid, then you know I've subtracted some options. I really don't want something connected to a bodily organ so that went out the window. The Five Elements Grid Elements Metal Wood Water Fire Earth (ONE OF THESE) PLUS ONE OF THESE Zodiac signs (yang) Monkey Tiger Rat Horse Dragon/Dog Zodiac signs (yin) Rooster Rabbit Pig Snake Ox/Sheep Colors White Green Black Red Brown Seasons Autumn Spring Winter Summer Intermediate Directions West East North South Central Diseases Dry Wind Cold Hot Wet Tastes Spicy Sour Salty Bitter Sweet Planets Venus Jupiter Mercury Mars Saturn Heavenly Creatures White Tiger Green Dragon Black Tortoise Vermilion Bird Yellow Dragon If someone wants to include more than the minimum requirements, by all means, do so. But there would only be three required components: weaving, an element and one other grid option of your choice. Keep the size of each piece reasonable; 5x7 or smaller. Remember to include $5 for shipping unless your pieces are on the larger side and then include more. |

Same here - so good! Thanks everyone FSF |
Mine came on Saturday and really made my day!
I couldn't tell who did some of them and I'm still trying to guess. I signed mine on the back. So, I did 8 different ones, did everyone do different ones, or did you all do the same secret 8 times? NYCfem, thank you for wrangling and the extra goody...and FSF thank you for the extras, I loved the whole package! I'm skipping this next one due to being out of town the next few weekends, but I hope to do the one after that. |
To answer your question, Nanners, it was a good mix of "all same" and all different secrets.

I shared the same one with everybody. |
I loved the postsecret projects and look forward to seeing what the participants of the next round come up with.
Here's some inspiration. |
You GUYS. I got a mysterious package resembling a post secret project I didn't sign up for. You are all the BEST. It was so thoughtful and actually made me cry. Thank you to each and every one of you that chose to share a secret with me, some of you are known, and some of you are not, but I treasure each secret.

Do we have to do the weaving ourselves or can we incorporate something already woven into the project/piece?

Remember to include $5 for shipping unless your pieces are on the larger side and then include more. Today is the last day to sign up! If you are interested, please do so. If you have questions, today is the last day to ask them for this particular project. I'm back at work so if any questions are asked, it will be later in the day before I will get the chance to answer them. I will compile the final list of participants tomorrow morning, to give those on opposite coasts time to join if they'd like, so sign up will run through the whole evening. No late additions! I'm excited for this project! I know it sounds difficult, but it's really not. Your grid option could be the color red so you would use the color red in the project with some sort of weaving (it can be added to the project as long as it's a part of the project itself and we can tell that it's weaving) and you could incorporate a piece of wood into the project (popsicle stick, anyone?). Bam! You've met the minimum requirements and are good to go. Please don't make this more difficult than it really is. The most important thing is to have FUN. This is a bit out of the box in terms of our normal projects and I'd love for those participating to let themselves go and be as free as you can. Maybe even a little wonky. I love wonky. Wonky art winds up on my walls all the time! |
Alright! The sign up is CLOSED! No late sign ups allowed.
This is the final list of participants: Sign Up List 1. Gemme 2. clay 3. GeorgiaMa'am 4. cara 5. nycfem 6. CCB Please see the post immediately before this one for details. Do not hesitate to ask if you have questions and make sure to get your 5 pieces and postage to me no later than October 14th. If they are received on or after the 22nd, they are late and you won't be able to participate in the last project of the year. Everyone have fun and don't take yourself too seriously. I'm looking at a couple of you, specifically. :weightlifter: As a sidenote: maybe as a group, we should revisit the late rule as it is not 100% equal for all participants. Those who are late in the end of the year only have to wait out 1-2 projects but someone who is late in January has to wait all year. Something for us to touch on before the end of the year, maybe? |
