Gemme..
Expand what the words mean..
like for me... I'm going to use water to change the chemical make up of something.. so a container of pure water will not be sent, but the card will have water in it..
you use white? baby.. food coloring.. make your own paper out of your white..
Color outside the lines.... let your mind blow up..

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 and that I think I can do well with. This one, I am on the fence about, since I'm not comfortable with my ability to produce work that includes all the rules. 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*
