Theme Challenge Discussions...Creative Stuff Going On In Here!!

[Rustybucket]

Sarah,  Your comment reminds me of that saying:  "Shoot for the stars and you'll land on the moon."  Aiming for what might seem unattainable could help us go places....

[Gimnick]

For example:  When is a tree not really a tree?

 When it's a self-portrait. Well met, Rusty. And well spotted.

OOOh...of course, Lelan, how much more astute. I was just going to say, 'uh, when it's not a tree!'

I knew there was more to that saying!! Absolutely, and your ideas of what is attainable/unattainable could change to something on a higher plane as you generally gain different kinds of strengths whilst in the process of working on attaining your goal(s) so that you feel you are able to go further than you originally had thought/planned.

Ahh, fun with words...

You Can't Have It!!!!

It's mine: too bad...so sad

Sun ArtThemed Challenge on the Horizon.  It is due February 19.  Remember the submissions are sent to the CBS Sunday Morning show producers.  This a  Great Promotion Opportunity

[ArtisticRhythms]

Oh, I was just hit with some inspiration for a different direction to go with this than I have in the past...going to ponder.

Peeking above the horizon line
In lovely pinks and greys
We beckon you, "Oh Sun, do rise!
Shed warmth upon our days"
                                            -RH

Sun Art Challenge is due this Sunday.      ( I know, where does the time go??  Its been a year already!!)

I've gotten enough submissions already that I have to wear sun glasses when looking at my computer screen

Who's returning to Oz with us??

Back to the mindless scare crow,  heartless tin man, cowardly lion,  fake wizard,  cranky apple trees, the witch who never bathed and FLYING MONKIES

And then there is the air head girl who just had to go over the rainbow (teenagers )

[Rustybucket]

Did you know that in 1985 Disney had a movie called "Return to Oz"  quite an interesting plot!!

[Rustybucket]

Got any ideas for OXYMORON due on april 8  (free-theme)?

completely unfinished
criminal justice
Insanely Normal
limited immunity
obviously concealed

[ArtisticRhythms]

How about...

clearly misunderstood
random order
alone together
act naturally
found missing
awful good
even odds
old news
deafening silence
original copy
small crowd
terribly pleased
pretty ugly
thunderous silence
cruel kindness
sweet sorrow
open secret
controlled chaos
same difference
less often
bittersweet
irregular pattern
forward retreat

OR even...
living dead
real phony
jumbo shrimp
