The size is absolute (4x6), requesting a pre-colored index card (I always buy white and color/paint/paste/accent as necessary for example), wanting not only 3 dimensional work (which is really a cool idea, I say) but specifically saying you would like blues and browns (in my world, maybe my trees are yellow, etc...I'm taking some license here of course), that it must be a memory from your childhood and include water and include trees (believe it or not, I don't have a lot..if any of those..as I am not a good swimmer and tend to stay away from water except for bathing and drinking purposes), wanting a description of the memory (again, kind of a cool idea), and really preferring that real water and trees be used in some form (not everyone has/use containers to be able to do this....although I did see you said it could be painted...alas, not a forte of mine). Also, there seems to be a bit more work involved than our usual rounds, but the time frame is a bit shorter.

Please don't think that I am trying to be snarky or mean. I'm just explaining my reasons for hesitating in signing up for this round. I usually only sign up for the rounds that interest me or that I think I can do well with or both. This one, I am on the fence about. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever participated in a round with Random and I know she's artistically brilliant, so I'm waivering back and forth.

Well, I have until the 23rd to figure it out, I guess. *rueful grin*

Well Gemme, I understand what you are saying. I never said anything was steadfast. I was just giving an idea and also trying to make it interesting and not overly complicated. I have to say I have seen some on the thread that are more complicated than this. However, it is up to each individual if they want to do it or not. I am glad that those that have signed up.. feel that it is worth trying out. Thanks everyone.

I also did not mean I wanted JUST blues and browns.. I was giving an example. Maybe .. something is getting lost
in the post between what I am saying and what you are reading.

Also the time can be changed as well. This is My first wrangle so I am open to suggestions. However, if there are those that just do not want to do it.. that is fine too. We all make our own choices. nods.
