Thank you to everyone who participated on Mixed Media Monday, and a special thanks to all the wonderful guest hosts. Thanks also for all the kind words, I feel a little sad, but think that the timing is right to finish MMM. Good luck with all of your art adventures, I’m sure I’ll “see you around”. Love and happiness to everyone.
Please copy and enjoy this free image from my personal collection, as a small thank you from me!
Congratulations to Mandy. I have chosen her stunning piece as the final Art of the Month. Simply beautiful.
Sadly, due to continuing lack of participation, I have decided that this will be our last challenge on Mixed Media Monday. We have had a really good run, made lots of great friends and have been inspired by each other. Thankyou to everyone who has participated over the years. I would especially like to thank the special group of people who have been guest hosts, without you MMM wouldn’t have been such a fun and vibrant place to play. So thank you, one and all.
For our final challenge, I would like you to work on a shape that you find pleasing and/or challenging. Don’t forget to check back at the end of the month to see the sampler and Art of the Week.
There are lots of other wonderful challenge blogs for you to play in, and I am sure we will see each other at some of them 🙂
I was really drawn to this journal page by Mandy. I love the colours, all the interesting details, well, everything, really! Congratulations Mandy!
Your challenge this month is to create a piece of artwork in a size that is outside your comfort zone. That could be anything from an inchy to a huge piece, it is entirely up to you. Don’t forget to let us know in your post about the size of your piece and why it was a challenge to you. Have fun!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to play along this month, when we are all so busy. There was lots of lovely eye candy around the blogs as usual. I really fell in love with this piece by Gillian, so have chosen it to feature as art of the month this month! Congratulations, Gillian!
The challenge this month is to create a piece that reflects this season for you. It might be something to do with Christmas or Hannukah, or it might be simply a wintry or summery piece. It’s up to you to interpret the theme in any way that suits you. Have fun!
What a lot of amazing art for this theme. Thanks to Carol for being a guest host and giving us all such a wonderful challenge. I was very disappointed that I couldn’t complete my piece in time. As usual there were plenty of contenders for art of the month, but in the end Zuzu’s amazing box won the day! Congratulations, Zuzu!
This week Carol is here for the first time to host a challenge for us. She has chosen “boxing clever” as your challenge prompt, and created this amazing box to inspire us all. This challenge simply means you need to use some sort of box in your piece – that could mean an altered box, a handmade box, a shadow box. Or you could draw a box in your piece or made a card with a box stamp on it. This is, as always, entirely open to however you’d like to interpret it. Have fun being “boxing clever”! And remember, you have until the end of November to get your piece finished and posted on our blog.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the new monthly challenge. Hopefully everyone will get used to the new format and continue to enjoy the challenges. Visiting all the blogs was such a pleasure this month and there were some amazing shrines. I chose this wonderful shrine by Hermine because I love the softness and air of mystery about it. I also love the clever way she created the niche! Congratulations, Hermine!
