I actually threw out 5 different ideas. It would be pretty complicated to have all that in one project, wouldn't it? lol

My thoughts were that I'd give you all a list of what I was thinking of and whichever one seemed to be the most popular, we'd go with that one for the time being.

Does that make more sense?

For example, one project would be a metal project. If you do jewelry, you could incorporate the wires used in that to qualify for the metal component or you could use bits of brickabrack you found during a walk or you could use metal sheets for a background.

A different project would be the weaving project and I literally mean that something would need to be weaved, like this.

Yet another project would be the paper bag project in which you would use a paper bag in the project, either as a base or as a component of the project.

Then there's the flower project. This is super simple but we could take it abstract or 3D. This project is limitless in options.

Finally, the image transfer project, which is exactly what it sounds like. You would transfer an image and incorporate it into your project.

Only if you have one already!

Actually, now that I think about it.....there's another option that y'all might enjoy. If most of you were okay with a handful of parameters, then maybe a coordinated project might work.

What do you all think about one of those? I start with an idea and leave 2 or 3 other parameters blank and you all put your input in and we vote on the favorites. We could wind up with a crazy fantastic project that way!

For example, if I said the project had to contain metal and then allowed for 3 other parameters, we would choose the top 3 favorite ideas which could be anything from collage to a specific color to another material requirement.

What do you think about that? I've got project ideas for days, so I'm good with any of the ideas I've bounced around. I do like the idea that the participants would have input before the final parameters were determined. That makes me a happy girl because I think everyone would enjoy themselves more if a part of them and their choice were included.
