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?

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.

Thanks Gemme for the info...

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

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!

[femmennoir]

[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.)

1.
2.
3.
4.
etc.

We got our "words" project today......They were very nice.....Thanks everyone....We can hardly wait for the next wrangle.....

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!)
