nanners...YVW! I really enjoyed doing these two! It is much needed "therapy" for me!!!

Maybe you will get them on Monday. They are so amazing!!!

Besame, are we going to do the magazine collage? I think an 8 X 10 size would be great and easy (plus cheap) to mail. I want to start, LOL!

me, too. I would enjoy the collage & size....lol...

I agree, it seems like fun! I guess we have to make one for every person who signs up? That seems like a lot. Maybe it's not as complicated as it seems - any feedback from those who have done this before?

nina03 · 03-05-2023, 09:42 PM

I'm on board for the collage project. What should we do for a theme this time?

YAY! Glad to see you onboard!!!

Wrangler usually sets parameters, etc etc...and will ask others' ideas. Besame will be along here sometime....to get our creative juices flowing!!!

Hi Georgia....yes, we would make one for each participant!

I remember us doing a "collage" a few years back, with "SUN" as our theme. I think we did it using paint chips, something along the size of 5x7. I just remember how cool a project it was, and some awesome things were made!!!

Hope this helps. You could use bigger pieces of ripped magazine pages OR paint chips (IF we go that route) and it seem less "challenging"??

Mine came already and I'm almost speechless. You all put so much thought, care, and kindness into these tiny boxes, and they are all beautiful. Thank you all so very much. Also, it's amazing to me that we all took that theme and went in so many different directions, and yet we're all still on theme with our projects. We have such interesting creative minds in this group. Xoxoxo

This is a GREAT little group. The projects are always so amazing. We have "basic" parameters yet all share same theme.

The main difficulty would rely on the size of the collage pieces. Larger pieces would certainly be easier.

Got it! I love the variety. What a great job, everyone!!!

GeorgiaMa'am · 03-06-2023, 10:44 PM

Mine came today, too! Thank you everybody for sharing your creativity and efforts. I enjoyed opening them so much, and I'll enjoy opening them again tomorrow!

nycfem · 03-07-2023, 12:27 AM

Where did you find any pride pin? Reason I wondered is because my friend has a business selling them on Etsy 😊

The match boxes came today, and I could not have been more wowed. To say they exceeded my expectations is an understatement. They were pure magic! I felt so much love and excitement in my heart, looking at them and playing with them :-)

nanners · 03-07-2023, 08:14 AM

I'm stunned at the talent all y'all have! I love each matchbox and opened each one with delight!
My husbutch stood right beside my recliner and was wowed as I opened them. Now she understands how much I love doing this!
Thank you Clay for wrangling and here's to the next project!

P.S. Yes, my font is larger...I had cataract surgery last fall on both eyes and now just have to wear readers...or be lazy and use larger fonts, LOL! But no more regular glasses after wearing them for 50 years.

YVW! It was a joy to wrangle these two projects!

AND< I am "happy" a larger font!! I am having horribly blurred vision since November with this temporal arteritis! I am on HIGH dose steroids daily, use drops for eye pressure, etc etc. SO I APPRECIATE! Good job on the "new vision". One of the side effects of this TA is losing vision (blind), hence high dose meds....

Spring Collage Project
With a twist hidden object!

Time for us to rip, tear, or cut up craft paper, wrapping paper, magazines or newsprint. Transform these fun elements into a picture. You can use glue, glue sticks, Modge Podge or anything that will attach to the base. The base should be of at least card stock weight. You have a size perimeter of nothing smaller than 5x7 or larger than 8x11 ( remember shipping costs)
Sign ups start 1...2...3...Now today!
Sign up ends in one week, March 17th

You will to make a collage for every crafter that signs up. Please mail them back to me by April 14th and should arrive or be late by April 20th. That's 4 weeks. I will reach out with my address after we close sign ups. I will get them back into the mail by April 24th with $10 for return shipping costs.
Are you ready for a theme?? It's gonna be SPRING, with a twist of finding a hidden object. Hmmm, what can that BE? Spring always brings in the best STRAWBERRIES!!
Incorporate a strawberry into your work of art! Make us search for that red berry!

Crafters remember to follow sign up and returning project dates. It's most important for you to plan and schedule a prompt return. We know what the consequences are.
